Saturday, Dec. 6th 11:00 AM - 4:00 PM

It is once again time for the Holiday House Tour. This year's tour includes four homes and one church. The homes and church on this year's tour are all "decked" out for the upcoming holiday season. Tickets are $15 and may be purchased at Harrisburg District Library, Child of Mine, Dream Baskets, Pickford's Flowers and Gifts or from members of the Friends of the Library. Proceeds will benefit the Friends of the Harrisburg District Library. Refreshments will be served at the library in the Alice H. Barnes Conference Room.

A luncheon is available at the First Church of God from 11:00 AM - 1:00 PM for a $5 fee payable to the church at that time.

New this year is a Department 56 Snow Village raffle. The Friends of the Harrisburg District Library currently have the village on display at Banterra Bank in Harrisburg. You may buy a chance to have this village for your own Christmas display! One chance is $1 or six chances for $5, purchased at the bank or at the library.

Another snow village will be displayed at Harrisburg District Library.
