Neighbors and Friends of Table Rock Lake (NFTRL) are excited to present the 23rd Annual Holiday Home Tour, scheduled for Friday, December 6, and Saturday, December 7, 2024. Don’t miss this opportunity to tour four beautifully-decorated lake area homes, where you’ll be inspired by themed Christmas trees, traditional décor woven around treasured family heirlooms, gorgeous lake views and other Ozarks scenery surrounding the featured houses.
The tour begins with a check-in and information stop at the Holiday Boutique at the Kimberling Area Library, 45 Kimberling Blvd., where you’ll want to allow plenty of time or stop back to browse one-of-a-kind gifts and crafts while enjoying complimentary coffee and cookies.
Among the families opening their homes for this year’s Holiday Tour are Branson West business owners Nick and Amy Morris. Amy has lived in the area since 2008 and Nick since 2010; they opened their HealthMarket insurance agency in 2012. They purchased their current home in the Highway DD neighborhood approximately two years ago and have enjoyed updating and personalizing it. When a friend and NFTRL member, who knew Amy loved to decorate, suggested they participate in the Tour, she was happy to agree. “I believe strongly in the many good causes supported by NFTRL,” she said.
Oklahoma transplants are sure to enjoy the Sooner-themed tree included in the décor at the Morris home; there will also be several other trees including one featuring The Grinch. And the enthusiasm is not just Amy’s—Nick is also on board with the project, and particularly enjoys the first flip of the switch turning on their lights each year.
Proceeds from the tour benefit charities in Taney and Stone counties, with particular emphasis on those serving needs of area children. A list of recipients for the most recent grant funding cycle, with a brief description of the valuable work they do, can be seen on the NFTRL website.
Tour homes are open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Friday and 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday; the Holiday Boutique is open 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. both days. Advance tickets may be purchased for $20 online at www.nftrl.org, where information is also available about participating in the Holiday Boutique as a vendor or getting involved in the group; and advance tickets are also available at Kimberling Area Library and Harter House. On tour dates, tickets may be purchased for $25 at the Boutique or at the featured homes. The boutique is also open to the public both days.
In case of inclement weather or other unforeseen circumstances affecting the tour dates, stay up to date via the website or the NFTRL Facebook page. Don’t miss this fun chance to make some new friends, see beautiful decorating ideas, and help support worthwhile causes in the community.
