Get ready for a couple of big changes to one of the area’s most popular holiday events, the Friends of the Rochester Hills’s Public Library 2017 Holiday Home Tour.
This year, the showcase of five area homes done up in high style for the holidays for all to see, will move from the traditional Sunday date to Saturday, November 11, from 12 noon – 5:00 p.m. The shift avoids a conflict with an increasing number of other holiday-oriented events scheduled for Sundays in November. It also hopes to take advantage of people being out-and-about on Saturdays and adding it to their agendas, rather than making a special trip on a Sunday.
Another big change: The tour’s popular Gift Boutique – ideal for filling out holiday shopping lists – will be hosted at a very familiar sixth stop, the Rochester Hills Public Library’s multi-purpose room (at 500 Olde Towne Road in downtown Rochester) from 1:00 p.m. – 6:00 p.m. on the same day. The boutique will be open to anyone visiting the library. Cider and donut refreshments will be available for each person with a HHT ticket.
Be sure to save the date for your personal calendar. Home information and ticket sale details will be released in late September. Check the www.rhpl.org website for the latest information.
