Tour of Kitchen’s: Holiday Home Edition

Tour of Kitchens:

HOLIDAY HOME EDITION

By: Jill Dickert and Kimberly McCoy

Do you hear what I hear? The Tour of Kitchens fundraiser is returning for its 12th annual celebration! Due to last year’s success with the “Holiday Home Edition,” the Tour of Kitchens Committee decided to build upon the festive theme again this year. By purchasing tickets, event attendees will be able to support the Junior League of Cincinnati’s mission of advancing women’s leadership for meaningful community impact through volunteer action, collaboration, and training. This year, Tour of Kitchens will be a two-day event. Toast to the Tour will take place on Friday, December 2 from 4:00 - 7:00 p.m. at Columbia Center. Event attendees will pick up their registration materials and, mix and mingle while shopping the holiday market and enjoy light bites and bubbly sponsored by The Megan Stacey Group. Columbia Center will be decked out in holiday splendor and our community partner Family Nurturing Center will share how to support their clients around the holidays and throughout the year. The always-popular raffle will also be returning for attendees to purchase tickets to have a chance at winning excellent baskets and experiences. Toast to the Tour will also feature a wine pull. Registration materials will be available for pick up during the Toast to the Tour event. However, if you are unable to attend Toast to the Tour, your first stop on Saturday will need to be 10130 Chatham Woods Drive Loveland, OH 45140 to pick up your materials and kick off the tour!

The self-guided tour of festive holiday homes & spaces will take place on Saturday, December 3 from 11:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. in the Cincinnati suburb of Loveland, Ohio. Each location on the tour will offer food and beverage pairings from a variety of different vendors. The charming town is known for its bike trail, the scenic Little Miami River, parks and a bustling, Hallmark-esque downtown. Loveland even has a castle! When asked about the location of this year’s event, committee Chair, Jill Dickert, said it was an easy decision. Jill grew up in Loveland. “I love Loveland,” said Jill. “There are so many wonderful businesses, restaurants, shops and more that have opened up in the downtown area that I always encourage people to check out. Loveland has something for people of all ages and I am excited for our event attendees to experience what my hometown has to offer.” This year’s tour will be special indeed as Jill’s childhood home will be one of the homes featured. Her parents, Pam and Dan Dickert, are looking forward to welcoming the Junior League community into their home.

Following the event, attendees are encouraged to spend the day in Loveland visiting the list of recommended stops that will be outlined in the program. After the Tour, guests are also welcome to attend Deck the Trail: Community Tree Lighting from 4:00 - 8:00 p.m. for festivities and fun in Historic Downtown Loveland at the Jackson Street Market area (adjacent to the Bike Trail near Trailside Provisions/ Alley Boutique). Don’t miss this year’s fabulous and festive fundraiser. Make sure to purchase your Tour of Kitchens ticket today!
