The NOMA Home Tour 2010 Action Committee is having a kick-off meeting tomorrow evening, Wednesday September 9th, at 7:00 PM at 910 N. Main St. They'll be picking the weekend, probably in April or May of next year and discussing which homes will be invited to participate.
If you know of someone who has an interesting home that should be on the tour, please nominate them. We'll be looking to have between 6-8 homes over a two-day Saturday-Sunday tour. The homes should be historic or period to the neighborhood. The homes should be renovated or restored well, not necessarily to period but the more original details the better. Each room should be decorated well - they don't have to be high-end and even eclectic is great. If you know of folks who collect interesting artwork or decor or furnishings - this is exactly what we are looking for. If you know of folks who keep a wonderful garden. Visitors want decorating and placement ideas. Their visit needs to be an "experience". This is what will keep people coming back to the NOMA tours for years to come. And this being our FIRST - it needs to be SMASHING!!
A Home Tour like this can really pull our neighbors together. There is lots of opportunity for fun and participation. The time consuming part is the writeup and advertising solicitation and follow up with papers. The rest of it is really fairly easy – it just takes a lot of coordination and checklists and keeping on schedule. But HEY ~ did we tell you? Downtown Salisbury Inc. (DSI - www.downtownsalisburync.com) has agreed to help us promote our Home Tour. This is awesome news!
We are so excited to be able to do this and to have so much support for the concept from all our NOMA members! Thank you, NOMA!
