For years the Blue Triangle Garden Club has hosted its annual Christmas Tour of Homes. Now in its 56th year, a competing tour has sprung up with the purpose of selling homes. The BTGC will use tour proceeds to advance the restoration of the John Biggers’ mural at the Blue Triangle Community Center that was damaged by Hurricane Harvey. This year the Historic Riverside Terrace Civic Association (HRTCA) has launched their own tour with several homes on the tour being up for sale. Several of the listing agents for these homes are also board members of the competing association. According to HRTCA, they offered to merge the tours and give BTGC all the profits. BTGC rejected both offers. HRTCA said this conflict would not happen again in the future. BTGC will host the 56th Annual Christmas Home Tours on December 10th from 1-5pm. Tickets can be purchased online at bluetrianglegardenclub.org.
