The 2014 house tour features six distinctive Fair Haven homes including a renovated carriage house that was originally part of the Van Tine Hotel on the Navesink River. Each home will be decorated for the holidays with fabulous table and floral arrangements sure to inspire! Tour goers will sample some of the best local fare from popular chefs, including d’jeet, Lusty Lobster, Taste and Technique, Woody’s, Booskerdoo, Cups and Cakes, and several others.

Two special raffle prizes will be offered: The Grand Prize is $1000 worth of Landscaping donated by Butler Landscaping.

The dinner includes wine, flowers, dessert and service to help the host and hostess relax. Tickets for these two great prizes
are $10 each and will be sold at two of the houses on the tour.
