Several area homes will open to the public to show off their Christmas decorations.

From 1 to 5 p.m. Sunday, anyone with a ticket will be welcomed into seven houses throughout Bowling Green for the 24th annual Bowling Green Woman’s Club Christmas Home Tour.

Cathy Adams, the tour’s organizer, said the homes in the tour will range in size but share a festive spirit in their decorations.

“There’s all variety of houses,” she said. “There’s old houses, new houses, big houses, small houses.”

The houses in the tour are at 959 Cumberland Ridge Way, 1139 Kentucky St., 1357 State St., 729 Morehead Way, 890 Poppy Hills Way, 1517 Drakes Ridge Lane and 942 Park St., Adams said.

On the day of the tour, tickets for the entire tour can be purchased for $15 at any of the featured homes, she said. In the days leading up to the tour, $10 tickets are available at the Tower Place Salon, she said.

The Christmas Home Tour is a yearly fundraiser for the Woman’s Club’s scholarship program, which provides a $1,500 WKU scholarship to one woman from any of the county’s public high schools, except Warren East High School, and can be renewed each school year, provided a 3.0 GPA is maintained, Adams said.

Warren East is covered by a similar scholarship program operated by the Woman’s Club of Smiths Grove, she said.

“A lot of times, the scholarships go to (males). We thought it was a good idea to help a girl.”

The decorations at Robin Thomason’s home on Morehead Way are already complete. Though her house’s floor plan includes a number of rooms that are long and narrow, there was still plenty of room for multiple Christmas trees. Throughout the home, there was plenty of red and green, with miniature trees, stockings, candles, nutcrackers and ornaments scattered about.

Thomason said she was excited to be a part of the Christmas Home Tour for the first time because she fully gets into the spirit of Christmas each year.

“I thought it would be fun,” she said. “It’s something I enjoy doing. I host a lot of things at Christmas.”

Thomason said she typically has her decorations finished early because she helps other people put up theirs throughout December. She sees decorating for Christmas as a way to share the holiday with loved ones.

“I see it as a time to celebrate with friends and family,” she said. “It was just something to make memories with.”
