Save the date! The annual Holiday House Tour will be held from 10:00 am until 4:00 pm on Saturday, December 13 when five Marion homeowners will open their homes to the tour. The theme this year is ‘White Christmas, With a Sparkle’.
Tickets are $20 in advance and $25 on Tour Day. Advance tickets can be purchased in Marion at the General Store, The Bookstall and Serendipity by the Sea and in Mattapoisett at Isabelle’s in the Ropewalk or by mail: send a check for the total amount to Tickets, Sippican Woman’s Club, P.O. Box 121, Marion, MA 02738. On Tour Day, retrieve your ‘Will Call’ Tour brochures at the Coldwell Banker Realty office in Handy’s Tavern at 152 Front Street, Marion, MA. Tickets can also be purchased from members of the Sippican Women’s Club.
Until Tour Day, the list of houses on the Tour is kept secret from all by a few. The Tour begins at Handy’s Tavern, which has been decorated in true ‘White Christmas, With a Sparkle’, then proceeds to the five local homes that have been selected for special historical or architectural interest, and ends with the hospitality of the Sippican Woman’s Club at the Sugarplum Fairy Tea held at the Parish Hall of St. Gabriel’s Episcopal Church (2:00 to 4:00 pm). The tea and goodies provided are included in the cost of the ticket.
