Old North Dresses Up for Holiday Home Tour

Ten homeowners opened their homes to approximately 1,000 visitors at the two-day 2003 annual holiday home tour.

Tom and Donna Brechko not only decorated their home, but also dressed in period clothing for the 15th Annual Victorian Holiday Home Tour. Betsy Hooper of Grainger Avenue played holiday music on her bagpipe, dressed in a kilt outfit. Madrigal singers from Bearden High School and additional music from Chad Jones, Tennessee Gents, and Part Time with Goode Company also provided entertainment. 

Knoxville Area Transit provided trolleys that Old North resident Stephen Henderson decorated for the holidays. Residents were invited to participate in the 5th Annual Neighborhood decorating contest. There were seven winners.

This year’s home tour had a mix of large and small homes, and styles ranging from Victorian to American Four Square to Spanish influence. Plans are already underway for next year's Holiday Home Tour, which will be December 4th & 5th. See you there!
