This year, the 15th annual Christmas Tour of Homes hosted by the Chantry Island Cham-bettes in Saugeen Shores was again a huge success.
Six local homeowners in Port Elgin and Southampton opened their homes in support of the fundraiser for the local Saugeen Memorial Hospital Foundation. Each home was unique and each decorated by either the homeowner or a local designer.
The sold-out event began Friday evening, November 17th and continued on Saturday, November 18th, as ticket-holders lined up waiting to go inside each of the homes and, for some, to perhaps gather Christmas decorating ideas.
