We just want to extend one more thank you to all of the volunteers, neighbors and especially the homeowners who helped to make the 2005 Highland Park House Tour the success that it was! We had a fabulous group of homes and sites this year, which showed everyone who came to the tour what a wonderful neighborhood we live in. And the gorgeous weather was certainly a great bonus, too. We are working on a final tally, but preliminary numbers make this year look like one of our best turnouts. Thanks to all of you who put up posters and passed the word along to friends and family, and a big thank you to Enrico's Tazza D'oro for selling all 100 of the pre-sale tickets we gave them! If you didn't see it, there was a great article about the King Estate in Saturday's Post-Gazette: http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/05274/580664.stm We are certainly lucky to have the Browns in our neighborhood, restoring a piece of Pittsburgh history and sharing it with all of us! The house tour committee will be having a wrap-up meeting in a couple of weeks before making our final report at the next HPCC meeting. If anyone has any comments to contribute or suggestions that might help with the planning of future house tours, please send them to housetour@highlandparkpa.com. Sincerely, Amy Maceyko, Brigette Nadler, Peter Hughes 2005 Highland Park House Tour Committee Chairs
