The first-ever Tour of Homes on St. George Island will be held on February 3 and 4, 2012, sponsored by the St. George Lighthouse Association. The event will kick-off with an opening reception from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Friday, February 3, at the Jay Abbott Fire Station at 324 East Pine Avenue, St. George Island.  Presentations on island-style interiors and the unique opportunities of landscaping in a barrier island environment will be offered along with beverages and light hors d’oeuvres. There is no admission charge for the Friday evening event.

The home tour will be held on Saturday, February 4, from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m.   “We have a great selection of homes from the Plantation to the East End and from the beachfront to the bay,” said Dany Ray, who is chairing the event with her husband Marty Ray. “We have modern and traditional beach-front homes, bay-front homes, and historic homes.  This is the first and best chance for people to get a total view of the island lifestyle from inside some our out best and most interesting homes.”
