kind of realized that we couldn’t have our Tour of Homes this year due to the COVID situation and we were brainstorming with ideas and we kind of thought, at the time, for people to be out during the holidays and look at the decorations and see what is going on and we thought this was a good way to showcase Seguin’s history by having luminarias in front of our properties and kind of honor and remember and celebrate those who are important to us and to our community,” said Tschoepe.
(Seguin) -- The Seguin Conversation Society is giving you an opportunity to support its final and only fundraisers of 2020. Steve Tschoepe, of the Seguin Conservation Society, says this week is the final week to purchase your tickets for the group’s holiday raffle. He says many great items have been pulled together to create three Seguin gift baskets. “We have three fantastic baskets that have been put together by our board members who have bought and sought out donations and they are all Seguin products. We have pecans. We have gift certificates. We have t-shirts. We have glasses. We have mugs. We have Seguin coffee. We have a variety of things in these baskets and they are all three very interesting,” said Tschoepe. Tickets for the raffle are $2 each or six for $10. In addition to its raffle, Tschoepe says several luminarias are also available for purchase.

He says the luminarias will continue to be turned on every weekend in December. He says the properties make a great place to visit this holiday season. “It’s just something different and we expect it now to become a tradition. We’ve had great feedback on the luminarias and we have them in front of our First Church, across the front of our Log Cabin, in front of the Doll House. Of course with the Texas Theatre, inside the theatre, we have kind of a Christmas tree luminaria and then we have our traditional Christmas tree in another window but we just want people to come by and see our beautiful landmarks and maybe take a picture in front of them too,” said Tschoepe.
