Like a magnificent comet that we only get to see in this neighborhood every three years, the Ballard Classic Home Tour is back this year, and tickets are on sale.
If you don't know the drill, the 2013 Ballard Classic Home Tour features seven vintage Ballard residences of "unique character and modern livability." Built by skilled craftsmen decades ago, the homes exemplify lasting quality that continues to support generations of Ballard families.
The Ballard Classic Home Tour is BHS’ biggest fundraiser, which enables the organization to take part in community projects; present free informative lectures related to Ballard’s History and maintain its archives.
When: Sunday June 23, 2013 from 10:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. All tickets are will-call only. Exchange your tickets beginning at 9:30 a.m. day of tour for a brochure with locations.
Where: Tour starts at Sunset Hill Community Clubhouse, 3003 NW 66th St, Ballard.
How: Tickets can be purchased at local businesses, including Secret Garden Books, and on Brown Paper Tickets at http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/356011
