Join the Pendleton Heights Neighborhood Association this Saturday, Dec. 7 for its 15th annual Holiday Homes tour. This year’s event features six homes ranging from elegant Victorian to stylish Mid-Century Modern, each gaily decorated for Christmas.

This year’s tour includes a showing of quilts created by Kansas City Modern Quilt Guild, inside the gym at Scoula Vita Nuova Charter School, 525 Garfield Ave.

Tour tickets are available online at phkc.org and allow admittance to all six homes and the quilt show. Tickets will also be available the day of the tour at PH Coffee, 2200 Lexington Ave.

Proceeds from this year’s tour will benefit the neighborhood’s community garden, orchard and pocket park spaces.

The Kansas City Modern Quilt Guild showing will be open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and tour homes will be open from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
