The HPTA is proud to host a Holiday House Tour and Boutique on December 5th from 10-4 and December 6 from 12-4. The self-guided tour will feature 6 beautiful, private residences decorated in the holiday spirit. Guests will be welcomed inside the front doors of these gracious homes to visit their charming ground floor rooms.
Erin Graziano, HPTA president, said, “My mantra this year has been ‘it takes a village’ and this event is a perfect example of that. We are extremely grateful to the 6 homeowners who have graciously offered their homes which they have meticulously decorated. Phipps Insurance Agency is our official sponsor allowing us to provide guests with a brochure featuring the incredible vendors bringing unique experiences for visitors at each home.”
These experiences include wine and food tastings as well as opportunities to purchase holiday gifts. Some of our vendors include The Gifting Tree, Stella and Dot, Yummy Mummy Brownie, Angel’s Nursery, Watercolors by Mary Holden and New England Olive Oil. “We are so excited to be celebrating our local vendors through this event,” said co-chairperson Tara Sanda. She added, “Just wait until you see the Hopkinton-themed Jamberry nail designs by Cheryl Kelly.” Some fun items will also be available through an opportunity raffle.
In keeping with the “it takes a village” theme, the HPTA has partnered with Swoon and the Bees Knees Design. Swoon will be extending their hours so that guests can shop with a portion of the proceeds going to the HPTA. The Bees Knees Design studio is opening their doors for the weekend where guests can pick up their tickets and maps. Both will have refreshments and some great shopping opportunities.
Interested visitors are encouraged to purchase tickets in advance at www.hptaonline.com for discounted prices. Learn more about the event follow us on Facebook: HPTA: Hopkinton Parent Teacher Association.
This event and other fundraisers have allowed the HPTA to donate over $2 million for the Hopkinton Public Schools since its inception in 1993. The proceeds of the events go directly to the schools and are used for programs such as student enrichment, scholarships, communication, technology enhancement, and professional development programs.
