It has evolved from a one-day event with handmade signage and only local exposure, to a two-day tour accompanied by a media night and the online Virtual Marketplace, said Karolyn Smith, event coordinator. “The tour would not be possible without the gracious residents who are willing to open their homes, and the many volunteers who work tirelessly to make this fundraiser as success.” Make sure to begin your day’s adventure at the Holiday Hospitality House located at the entrance to the Paradise @ Pikes Peak, 841 Majestic Parkway, a premiere development in Woodland Park located behind Walgreen’s. Enjoy homemade cookies, apple cider and hot chocolate before taking a hayride to 1040 Regal Way, the first home on this year’s tour and then loop back to the parking area.
