2010 Minneapolis & Saint Paul Home Tour wants your home!
01/01/2010
The 2010 Minneapolis & Saint Paul Home Tour is looking for homeowners and home improvement professionals who would like to put their homes on the tour. Nomination/applications are due Thursday, January 21. The Tour, in its 23rd year, will be held Saturday and Sunday, April 24 and 25.
Past participating homeowners have said they “liked the incentive” to get their home improvement projects done in time for the tour, though it is not necessary to have remodeled the whole house. “It was nice to get all the compliments from strangers to reinforce what I’d heard from friends and family,” said one homeowner.
“Contractors often help staff the homes, and homeowners ask their families and friends to contribute a few hours,” said Margo Ashmore, tour coordinator. “A good support network hosting the home makes it fun.”
Contractors and other vendors may nominate homes they have worked on, and are encouraged to call for more information. Green, energy efficient, and historically-sensitive remodels and expansions get special notice. Minneapolis Neighborhood Revitalization Program manages the tour as a celebration of city living that encourages homeowners to improve existing homes. Many organizations and businesses sponsor the tour.
