HISTORIC OAKWOOD CANDLELIGHT TOUR 2009 !!!

Man Oh Man... here we are all ready getting into the Christmas season! Another one coming up quick. What makes it really a fast upcoming holiday for Doris and myself is the fact that the Oakwood Inn B & B is alway involved in the Historic Oakwood Candlelight Tour. This event is a fund raiser for Historic Oakwood which helps us preserve the Victorian nature of our neighborhood and also has provided funding to help save some older homes from the wrecking ball. Here are some of the details:

Oakwood Candlelight TourDecember 12-13 from 1-7 PM
Light up your Christmas season at the 38th Annual. Take a walk through the past this holiday season as this year thirteen properties, that's right THIRTEEN PROPERTIES, in the Historic Oakwood neighborhood open their doors to visitors during the 38th annual Historic Oakwood Candlelight Tour, December 12-13 from 1-7 PM.

Whether you’re interested in getting a glimpse inside the candlelit windows, learning more about Raleigh’s history and architecture, or simply looking for an excuse to spend a little extra time with friends in downtown Raleigh, you’re invited to come celebrate the holidays on the Candlelight Tour. There will be some entertainment like groups singing Christmas Carols, or FREE cookies to munch on, and other activities.
