By PHYLLIS BRITT
News Editor
Visitors to this year's Beta Sigma Phi Christmas Tour of Homes will have an opportunity to check out the new Arts and Heritage Center of North Augusta along the way.
Located at 100 Georgia Ave. in the new City municipal center, the Arts and Heritage Center will be open for refreshments and a rest stop for tour-goers on Saturday, Dec. 5, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The gift shop will be open for Christmas shopping.
The Arts and Heritage Center is one of eight stops on the 22nd annual North Augusta Christmas Tour of Homes, scheduled for Dec. 4 and 5. A candlelight tour of the homes is set for Friday, Dec. 4, from 5:30 to 9:30 p.m. The Saturday tour hours are 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
This year's tour features seven homes decorated for the holidays -- Michael and Alisa Spray, 3050 Country Club Hills Dr.; Marcus and Rachel Covar, 116 Woodstone Way; William and Susan Rowland, 351 Osprey Point; Kenny and Rachel Franklin, 819 Carolina Ave.; Chris and Anna Peppenger, 308 W. Forest Ave.; Dennis and Joyce Jackson, 24 Crystal Lake Dr.; Lynn Brisson, 451 Railroad Ave.
A brunch and fashion show will be held on Saturday at the First Baptist Church fellowship hall at 10 a.m. Tickets for the brunch are $10 and had to be purchased by Wednesday, Dec. 2. The fashions will be provided by Coldwater Creek.
Advance tickets for the tour are $15 if purchased by 2 p.m. Friday, Dec. 4. Tickets are on sale at Jim Bush Flower Shop, CommuniGraphics, North Augusta Chamber of Commerce and Parks Pharmacy. On the day of the tour tickets are $18 and may be purchased at any home. (Every person must have a ticket -- even children in arms.)
Beta Sigma Phi uses the majority of the proceeds from the tour to fund scholarships to North Augusta High School seniors, with the balance going to North Augusta PAL Boxing Club, North Augusta School Wish List and other local charities.
