Lord of the manor house
Don't you just love a Tudor-style home? Well this European Manor will open its doors to visitors during the second annual Loomis Basin Holiday Home Tour on Saturday, December 5 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. This lovely abode will be one of five on the tour. Come see a palacious Traditional Estate Home in Granite Bay, a Modern Ranch Home, also in Granite Bay, a sprawling Mediterranean Villa in Loomis and the 100-year-old Red Horse Barn and its Craftsman-style Farmhouse which is home to the Newcastle Wedding Garden. Wedding receptions and events are normally held in the barn, but on Home Tour Day it will turn into a lovely spot to listen to music, purchase refreshments and enjoy a pre-purchase lunch. The gourment box lunch will include a freshly baked croissant filled with smoked turkey & almond salad with sundried cranberries, a sweet, locally-grown Mandarin and a large homemade cookie. For more information and online ticket orders visit the Loomis Basin Education Foundation Web site at www.lbef.net. Proceeds from the tour benefit the children in the seven Loomis School District Schools through the Loomis Basin Education Foundation.

palacious? falacious. Or should I say, falatial
Excessive material self-indulgence was more my thought. Too bad money can't buy true wealth
This is a fundraiser for a school fund. It is the usual home/garden tour event to show people's gardens and homes in a way that people can admire and also learn something about building and gardening. The owners are usually there to answer questions about landscaping, etc. And to top it off they are giving the proceeds to a good cause.
Thanks for the reminder GailBegin. What is admirable is that there are people of means, who have worked hard for what they have, that are willing to open their hearts and homes to the community to help raise funds to support the education of our children. They have been blessed with abundance and we have been blessed by their generosity.
Sounds good to me.
