Nearly 1,000 Tickets Sold
A Fun Time Was Had At The 38th Annual Home Tour & Street Fair
The preliminary numbers are in. Here’s the skinny on this year’s Park Hill Home Tour & Street Fair, which drew thousands of looky-loos, festival-goers, and food, drink, and other venders selling their creations.
More than 130 individual volunteers pitched in to pull off the event. These included people who served on the pre-planning committee, and who helped set up, tear down and do traffic control. In addition, volunteers served wine and beer, sold tickets, helped out at the home preview, served as home docents, home captains and home coordinators. A team of sustainability/waste experts saved recyclables from going to the landfill; other volunteers coordinated kids activities.
In all:
• Almost 1,000 tickets were sold
• 800-1,000 visitors passed through the seven homes and churches that were featured in this year’s Home Tour (varied by home)
• An estimated triple that number (2,400-3,000) people attended the Street Fair
• There were more than 110 vendors
• Thanks to the efforts of the volunteer team of sustainability/waste experts, the following was diverted from going to the landfill: 4 large bags of plastic bags and wrap, 3 carloads of cardboard,10 bins of co-mingled recyclables and 4 bins of compost
