Check out decorations at home tour

If you are curious about how some of your neighbors are decking their halls this holiday season, Crescenta Valley High School Prom Plus invites you to the annual Holiday Home Tour from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. Saturday. Participants will tour three featured homes, including the home of high school Principal Michele Doll, as well as the historic firehouse at St. Luke's Church. They will all be festively decorated and each location will feature a variety of activities and entertainment.
