Annual Laguna Charm House Tour Coming Up May 19th

Submitted by Village Laguna:

This year's Charm House Tour, our 41st Tour!

 Village Laguna's annual celebration of Laguna Beach's beautiful and original homes, will take place on Sunday, May 19th.

The five homes on the tour, all in South Laguna, are labeled Mosaic Garden, Indigo Seas, Casa Katalina, Benzie's Bungalow and The Floating Glass House, and the photos shown here give some impression of their charms.

An added attraction this year will be the Refreshments served mid-tour in the South Laguna Community Garden Park.  At the refreshment stop, Arnold Hano, founding father of Village Laguna, will be signing his just-published book on the history and politics of Laguna Beach, It Takes a Villager.

Tour will begin in the front parking lot of Mission Hospital Laguna (31872 S. Coast Highway and 7th Ave) at NOON until 5 PM and the parking is FREE on the 4th floor roof of the Mission Hospital Parking structure, behind the hospital.

Tickets are available for purchase at $45 ($55 on the day of the tour) from Village Laguna's Website (www.villagelaguna.org) by mail (P O Box 1309, Laguna Beach, Ca 92652) or from one of the following local outlets:  Copy & Print Center, Cottage Furnishings, Fawn Memories, Hotel Laguna, La Casa del Camino, Laguna Beach Books, Laguna Nursery, Monarch Bay Optometry, and Rock Martin Custom Jewelry.  For more information, call 949-472-7503.
