2010 Home and Garden Tour Preview Party
Saturday, April 24, 2010
The 2010 Garden Oaks Home and Garden Tour will kick off Saturday, April 24th with a casual, self guided tour of the six spectacular homes selected for this year’s tour, Something Old, Something New. One of the benefits of attending the Home Tour Preview Party is the chance to stroll through the homes at leisure and visit with the homeowners, generous sponsors and tireless volunteers who make this event happen! The homes are held open for those attending the party from 5 to 7 p.m. on Saturday evening, April 24th.
The Preview Party will continue at the Bell Tower on 34th, 901 W. 34th St, from 7:00 until 10:30 pm that same evening. A fabulous dinner menu has been selected of appetizers of assorted cheeses, seasonal fruit and spicy raspberry torte. A mixed green salad will be followed by inside round of beef and seasonal vegetables as well as two different pasta selections. A table of scrumptious desserts will be available. Three drink tickets for wine, beer or well drink selections are included with each ticket. Valet parking will be provided that evening as well.
If you have not had the opportunity to experience the wonderful ambience of the Bell Tower yet, you will not want to miss this event! There will be two levels of seating for the celebration: a reserved table of 10, and individual tickets. Reserved tables of 10, either inside in the wine cellar building, or outside in the water wall area, will be available for $1,250. Exterior seating in the serene water wall garden area will be $100 per individual ticket.
Exciting silent auction items will be available for viewing and bidding throughout dinner. As always, our guests of honor, our wonderful homeowners and sponsors, will be introduced to all in attendance. It is a great opportunity to meet those who so generously step up to help make Garden Oaks this city’s best kept and greenest secret!
The auction committee has been feverishly working to come up with an unbelievable array of auction items for the 2010 celebration! A fabulous Hill Country weekend getaway, wine dinners, photography packages, original artwork, dinners for two (or ten) and so much more will be auctioned off at this year’s event. A live auction for several of the night’s most coveted items will follow dinner! You will not want to miss all of the action!
