New Opportunity to participate in the Annual Tour of Historic Homes
Annual Community Sponsors also have the opportunity to be an exclusive sponsor of a property featured in the Annual Tour of Historic Homes.
This opportunity will only be available to Annual Community Sponsors. It is an additional amount of $1,000 above your Annual Sponsorship.
This would include a large sign with your logo outside of the property, mention in the tour guide, and the option to be present in the property during the tour.
Tour sponsors are limited based on the number of properties participating in that year’s Annual Historic Tour. This will be available first come, first served.
All Annual Sponsors will be honored in the tour guide and other materials as described above regardless of participation in this additional opportunity.
