‘THIS OLDE HOUSEWALK’ 2010

PROUDLY SHOWCASED

 HISTORIC HOMES, CHURCH and

BEAUTIFUL NEIGHBORHOOD

          CAPA’s September Housewalk went very well for being the first time at this date and considering the economic climate, there were about 480 tickets sold. It was a beautiful day and all our guests seemed to like the new date. CAPA will start working on the next Housewalk with three possible homes. If you are interested in showcasing your home and being on the next walk in September, please call the CAPA line.

            First, we would like to thank all the owners who graciously opened their homes and buildings: Mr. & Mrs. Magosky for the P. Seth Magosky Museum of Victorian Life & Joliet History, The All Saints Greek Orthodox Church, Dennis & Cindy Goron at 1207 Taylor Street, Mark & Diana Kowalizko at 1212 Taylor Street, Brian & Eileen McKee at 420 Whitney Avenue and Peggy Field at 206 N. Raynor Avenue.

            Also, we would like to thank the florists who donated flowers to each participating home: Blossoms & Blooms, Palmer House, Labo’s, The Petal Shoppe, Joliet Floral and Designs by Diedrich.

            Next, we need to thank our sponsors: D’Arcy Motors for the trolley, the University of St. Francis for the musicians, the Voyager Group for the brochures, JD Brown & Company for the booties and Giegerich Sontag Funeral Home and Deaton Kennedy Company for the guest books.
