Port Rowan and the surrounding area was the location for the Rotary Club of Simcoe’s annual Holiday House tour this year. Five local homeowners in and around the Port Rowan area opened their homes to ticket holders.
New this year as an added event, a talk on the history of rum-running in this area was given by local historian Ian Bell at Neal Memorial United Church.
Neal Memorial also served as the tour’s rest stop and offered a light lunch to tour participants.
Tour organizer and committee chairperson Hadley Jackson thanked the homeowners for opening their homes to the public and thanked Neal Memorial for their generous hospitality.
An estimated 350 people took part in the tour each day, with over 50 in attendance at each of the rum-running presentations.
