The UDCA Home and Garden Tour, held Sunday August 17, was a great success. Over 450 visitors toured the two gardens, six homes (three of which also showed their gardens) and historic All Saints Church. Everyone had a grand time whether they walked or rode the red trolley along the route. Many also enjoyed the food and entertainment around the ticket tent at All Saints Church. Our thanks go to the participating homeowners, All Saints for lending their parking lot for the venue, to JD Whitlow (313) 346-7046 the food vendor, to Justin Crutchfield (313) 377-2461 the magnificent DJ, and Jack Wright, driver of the Wyandotte Trolley (734) 324-4502. |
| The biennial Home and Garden Tour is the UDCA’s major fundraiser. The proceeds from the event go into the UDCA Treasury to help support UDCA activities (Snow Plowing, Newsletter, Web Site, General Membership Meetings, Yard Sale, Dinner Dance, etc.). Volunteers worked many hours to create such a successful event. The Home Tour Committee was Co-Chaired by Holly Clements and Vicky Reyes. Constant support was provided by Committee Members: Ken Clements (Signs), Ricardo Reyes (Facilities & Set-up), Rosa Stephens (Home Selection), Mary Leonard (Publicity), Betty Davis (Docents), Matt Aldrich (Photographer), Genet Barthwell (Caterer for Homeowners’ Dinner), Selma Goggans (Prize Chair), as well as Jesse Cassida, Starlit Smith, Addie Smith and Dave Marquardt. |
