Elsah’s Home for the Holidays House Tour is this week – Saturday, December 2, 1:00 to 5:00 p.m. Eight private homes will be open for touring. You can also view the interiors of our public buildings: Farley Music Hall, the Village Museum, the two-room school house, the churches, B&B’s, and the village shops. For a musical respite, step inside the churches as local pianists play holiday melodies. Outside while you stroll the streets, carolers will fill the air with songs of the season and a brass quartet will give a short holiday concert. Keep your eyes peeled for chocolate chip cookies at some of the homes, B & B’s, and shops. Tickets for this self-guided walking tour can be bought at www.historicelsah.org/tickets.

Elsah residents, heads up! Be sure to put up your Elsah-style holiday decorations — candles in windows, white lights, wreaths and garlands — by December 2.  Let’s welcome our visitors in style!
