26th Edition Includes Babe Ruth\u2019s Home, Live Holiday Music, and Local Food and Beverages<\/p>\n
The Historic Old Northeast Neighborhood Association\u2019s Candlelight Tour of Homes will celebrate its 26th edition Sunday, December 7 from 3-8 pm. The 7 historic homes include five homes from the 1920\u2019s and two from the 1940\u2019s. Architectural styles include Colonial Revival, Mediterranean Revival, Craftsman Bungalow, and Florida Ranch.<\/p>\n
\u201cLast year\u2019s Candlelight Tour was cancelled due to the hurricanes,\u201d explains Nick Bell, president of the neighborhood association. \u201cSo, we\u2019re pleased to once again treat local residents to a favorite holiday tradition.\u201d <\/p>\n
This year\u2019s homes range from \u2018modest to mansion\u2019 in size and span the length of the neighborhood, from 9th Avenue to 28th Avenue, including one home in the renowned Granada Terrace local historic district. Trolleys will once again transport Tour guests between homes. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re especially excited to feature a newly restored home occupied by Babe Ruth and his family in 1935 during his last spring training season as a baseball player,\u201d Nick says. <\/p>\n
An array of musical entertainment, including an award-winning boy\u2019s high school choir and a renowned harpist, will entertain guests along the Tour route. Guests won\u2019t go hungry or thirsty because they\u2019ll be able to purchase food and beverages from a dozen local vendors at the Hospitality Refreshment Station. <\/p>\n
Proceeds from the Tour help replenish the neighborhood\u2019s tree canopy. A portion of the funds will be donated to two charitable organizations, Friends of Strays and Pet Pal.<\/p>\n

They will be available the first week of November for $35 online at www.honna.org and the following businesses (cash or check only): Marion\u2019s (1301 4th Street N), Sunken Gardens (1825 4th Street N), and Old Northeast Rally Station (2131 4th Street N).
