Activity center sponsoring Sunday’s Quitman Tour of Homes

Posted

The Forever Young Activity Center (FYAC) will again host the annual Quitman Tour of Homes from 1 - 4 p.m. on Sunday with four properties featured on the route.

Tickets are $12 and may be purchased at the Forever Young Center at 404 S. Main in Quitman, from any center associate, or by calling the numbers listed in this article.

Funds raised go to support the center which provides a place for adult fellowship and programs. The Forever Young Activity Center is open to seniors throughout Wood County. For information, or to purchase tickets for the Tour of Homes, call 903-312-0877, 903-763-0276 or 903-316-6515.

The center’s Christmas Country Store will also be open from noon - 5 p.m. the day of the tour. Featured this year are hand-crafted arts and crafts, Christmas items, a bake sale and guest vendors. “Shop for gifts of the season and homemade baked goods from our wonderful local cooks, then venture out to enjoy the beautifully decorated homes on the tour,” said Debbie Main.

“The Christmas Tour of Homes-Country Store has proven to be a good fundraiser for FYAC,” said Daisy Bennett, FYAC treasurer. “Without the homeowners around Quitman who so graciously open their homes, it would not be possible. We appreciate this support from the community.”

The stub of tour tickets will provide the chance to win a handmade door prize of a snowman family. Guests need to be sure to remember to drop the ticket stub in the drawing jar at the Country Store. A drawing will take place shortly before the store’s 5 p.m. closing.

The FYAC seeks to meet the needs of the senior communities of Wood County. Hours are Wednesdays and Fridays, 9 a.m. - 4:30 p.m., with the Supper Club meeting at 6 p.m. every third Saturday.
