If you've never been on the tour, here's a little tour tidbit: Every ticket holder gets a shoe bag at the first house they visit. This bag allows you to carry your shoes with you as you walk through the properties. This keeps the tour locations clean and makes sure you don't have to go searching for your shoes when you're finished at a stop. This year our shoe bag sponsor is Selkirk Rotary Club. Thanks for your support rotarians!
