It’s that time again; mistletoe, holly, eggnog, decorations, parties, and of course, the AGC Annual Holiday Home Tour. Beginning promptly at 3:00pm, we start our tour with a potluck located at 254 7th Avenue. (the home is on the SE corner of 7th Avenue and B Street). Randy Holladay will be hosting and supplying plates and utensils. Please bring your favorite holiday dish (starter/salad, entrée, side or dessert) to share with everyone and even copies of the recipe if you are so inclined.
