Green Lake Tour of Homes, Sunday-October 7, 2007

The Green Lake Chamber Arts Network offered their first Green Lake Tour of Homes.  Approximately 300 people took the tour of six homes around Green Lake with wine tasting offered at a few of the homes.  The tour of homes was made possible by wonderful sponsors, home owners (pictured is one of the six), Ripon college students, a great committee (chaired by Robin Wallenfang) and you.  This is something that is already in the planning stages to happen again in 2008.  There will be more signage, tour markers and home information.  If you would like to give us any suggestions please reply back because input from you is always helpful in making our events a "Must See!" event.
