HOLIDAY HOUSE TOUR – December 11, 2011
Mark your calendar now for A Crofton Village Christmas holiday house tour in Crofton, MD. Tickets are available now from any Crofton Village Garden Club member or call Sally Moore, (301)721-6759 Attendance will be limited, so don’t procrastinate!
This tour of seven homes will spread beyond the Crofton Triangle to other neighborhoods in the 21114 zip code, including Crofton Colony and Chapman Farm.
Members will participate in several flower-arranging workshops to create holiday floral designs for display at homes on the tour. Many members will also help “deck the halls” at Chapman Farm Clubhouse, where refreshments will be served to tour guests. All of the club’s members and many of our friends and relatives will participate in this activity as flower-arrangers, hostesses, promoters, planners and even parking assistants.
In addition to raising funds to support and promote National Garden Clubs (NGC) and CVGC projects objectives, this event will be a lot of fun for members and guests alike.
