“Follow the Light” Holiday Homes Tour

October 26, 2009 by Bill Hildebrand

This Christmas homes tour is to raise awareness as well as finances for the Hildebrand family as we prepare to move to Kenya next summer.  As you can imagine, a two year commitment overseas is not cheap, but when God calls, we believe that He also provides.  As you consider being a part of the Hildebrand team, enjoy the beauty of  six wonderfully decorated homes, each giving new ideas and bringing back old memories of Christmas.

Attend either Friday, December 4 from 5-9pm or Saturday December 5 from 2-8pm.  Tickets are $12 in advance, $15 at the door.  Purchase tickets online from:
www.brownpapertickets.com/event/88021

Tickets may also be purchased at locations listed at the bottom of this page.

The tour will begin both days from Woods Chapel Bible Fellowship, 701 NW Woods Chapel Rd., Blue Springs Missouri, 64015.  For questions, please email: followthelighthomestour@gmail.com

When owners Rodger and Erin designed and built this home, they paid great attention to detail and unique touches.  Enjoy live music by cellist Meghan Zeikle and other musicians as they create a perfect ambiance for your tour.

At this time of year we think of homemade cookies and candies.  The owners of this wonderful home have included their own old fashioned “Sweet Shop”.  Enjoy confections beautifully displayed and available to purchase.  We will provide holiday boxes and bags.  An ornately detailed gingerbread house made by a friend will be raffled.

You will not want to rush through this home!  Dee Dee has an amazing sense of design and her decorating will cause you to pause to “Ooh” and “Aah” in every room.  Gifts from local Blue Springs merchants will be displayed and later raffled, helping you mark off another name on your Christmas list.

Let it Snow! This home displays a love for snowmen!  Have fun counting all the snowmen throughout this home and submit your guess.  If you get the number correct, you could win a snowman.  Good luck, and have fun!

Bob and Dee are best known as “Grandma and Grandpa”, not only to their own 10 grandchildren, but to most who know them!  As they open their home, they open their hearts for you to see what makes Christmas special to them.  Jesus' birth and family will be themes made clearly evident through decorating, traditions, and stories.

A beautiful view of the lake at Waterfield, and Christmas trees decorated around the outside of the home help set the mood as you enter this home.  I'm sure you have a favorite holiday movie from your own childhood, and you just might find it being played in one of the many rooms of this home.
