Visit Inspiring Outdoor Spaces at the Spirit of 67 Home Tour

As times demand change, the Spirit of 67 Foundation has responded by creating a new version of its signature fundraising event. Home Tour - Outdoor Spaces offers the same inviting, inspiring, enjoyable event as its usual indoor Home Tour; but will be almost entirely outdoors!

"This year's reimagined Home Tour is a reflection of the times. We have all had to be flexible and resilient but find a way forward. With this new concept for an outdoor spaces tour we are continuing in the long tradition of Home Tours before and opening many more doors for our community's children," stated Laurie Whisler, VP Special Events for the Spirit of 67 Foundation.

In addition to admiring gardens, pools, pool houses, tennis courts and other outdoor structures of some of the most distinguished homes in Lake Forest, guests can take a chance at winning a pair of dazzling diamond earrings or any of the four designer tablescapes which will be on display! Tablescape raffles will include all items "on" the table and reinforces the event's focus on the using the beautiful outdoors for outdoor entertaining.

Also available for purchase are sustainable wood accessories for the home such as hand made cutting or charcuterie boards, wooden bowls and large scale paintings by a local artist. Floral "grab and go" bouquets will allow guests to bring home a bit of the autumnal beauty they see on the tour.

Visit www.spiritof67foundation.org to purchase your home tour ticket. The Tour will include four or six homes, depending on what level ticket is purchased. Most of these spaces have never been seen by the public. "We found truly special homes, owned by caring, generous families — and all with different, exceptional, and unique attributes” says Kimberly Carris, President of the Spirit of ’67 Board. The tour is open to the public and all members of the community are encouraged to attend.
