Sarasota Livin'

HISTORIC HOUSE TOUR #1:

On Sunday, March 5, 2006, from 11:00 am to 5:00 pm, the The Sarasota Alliance for Historic Preservation will have its 16th annual Historic Homes Tour. This year the tour will features properties based exclusively in Laurel Park. For a sneak peak (including photos) of the properties that will be included on the tour, check out the website of Save Our Sarasota (http://saveoursarasota.blogspot.com/) (scroll down the page a bit). You can also find more photos on the following site: http://www.flickr.com/photos/rtcsarasota/).

HISTORIC HOUSE TOUR #2—Laurel Park Neighborhood Association STYLE:

Concurrent with the tour sponsored by the Sarasota Alliance for Historic Preservation, some hardworking residents of the neighborhood are planning to conduct a walking tour of some additional historic properties in Laurel Park.

Walking tour houses will all be marked by balloons and roped off from the Sidewalk, so that people don't get confused about which houses are open. About 400 copies of the tour itinerary will be printed. Chilled water available for sale and t-shirts for donations (look for this at the park or Melody's Day Spa). Tables and chairs will be set up in the park for those who want to rest or picnic.

Special thanks go to Jolie McInnis, Jude Levy, and Deb Dart for their efforts!
