Chincoteague for Holiday Homes Tour

The Homes for the Holidays tour sponsored by the Historic Main Street Merchants gets underway on Saturday, December 7th, 2019.
According to the organizer, Kim Dennis of Hollyhocks on Main, “this is the 9 th year of the
Chincoteague Homes for the Holidays tour and we are excited to feature 14 venues for
participants to explore.”
On the tour will be the oldest house on the island, the Captain Timothy Hill House, Victorian
homes built in the late 1800’s and restored and renovated waterman cottages. Some have been converted into art studios and one now serves as the Island Community House. “The island is home to many artists who are featured throughout the tour and in many cases, will make their works available for sale,” said Dennis.
Tickets are $20 and can be purchased in advance or the day of the tour at Hollyhocks on Main and Sundial Books. The tour runs from 11:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. The Annex on Main Street will open at 9:00 a.m. on the day of the tour for participants to pick-up their Homes Tour brochure. Proceeds from the tour are donated to the Manna Café which serves free hot lunches to the local community every Monday at the Christ United Methodist Church.
Box lunches can be pre-ordered from Poseidon’s Pantry (757-336-6666) up until the night before the tour and will be delivered to the Annex Saturday morning. The Warm Hands, Warm Hearts Tree will be set up in the Annex for donations of NEW mittens, hats, gloves and scarves which will be distributed to local churches up and down the Shore during the holidays.
“The annual Chincoteague Homes for the Holiday tour is made possible because of the
generosity and support of local residents to open up their homes for others to see and enjoy during the holiday season,” said Dennis.
