So excited to get together with those that can come today and plan this fundraiser at House of Pearls! If you love decorating and would allow us to use some of your decorations for Dec 7th House of Pearls Christmas Tour Fundraiser, please contact me.
Some things I know we will need:
Generator (if you have been to the house, you know our power struggles)
Lots of decorations (my thoughts are keeping it natural looking, like lots of holly, greenery, etc, lighting for the circle court yard, nativity scene (LIVE would be great!) Christmas treeS, but I'm not the decorator!)
I need a handyman to fix the front porch light! ( Tom Hunter hint hint) I am thinking Santa and Mrs Claus would be perfect on the front porch?
Can't find a carriage for horse and carriage rides down the drive way, which is what I really wanted! But Frank Moore said he will bring his horses for horse rides... Maybe Frank Moore would dress up as an elf?!!?! lol j/k
Would anyone in the area like to add their home to this special night for more interest in the public? Tour of HOMES?
Things to talk about:
Price of tickets?
Pre-sale?
Where to get the tickets?
Flyers, (my husband can make them, where to print them and where to post them)
Bake sale at event?
Can't wait to hear your ideas! See yall at 11:00
