Tips & Advice

- Bring cash or a check if you buy from a local ticket vendor such as The Growing Place, because they don't take cards.
- Buy Friday tickets online before sales close on Wednesday, December 2, or get them from one of the local ticket vendors.
- Get ten or more friends together to save 10% on tickets, but note that the group discount is available only by calling Donna.
- Expect to drive between the homes on the tour, because your ticket has the addresses and directions for each house.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do we have to visit the homes, market and tea in a set order?
No. Once you have a ticket, you can visit the homes, the Holiday Market and the Tea in any order.
How do we find the homes on the tour?
Your ticket has the addresses of the homes and driving directions to each one.
What's different about Thursday?
Thursday is Preview Day. Thursday ticket holders get first pick of Holiday Market items, and attendance is limited, so lines are shorter.
Where do I pick up tickets I bought online or reserved at Will Call?
Pick them up at Judd Kendall VFW Post 3873 during the event on either day. Your thank-you email serves as your receipt.
Can I buy tickets locally instead of online?
Yes. The Growing Place, John Greene Realtor Office, Baird and Warner Realtors and, new this year, Dean's Clothing on Main Street in Naperville sell tickets, but they take only cash or checks. Online sales take credit cards or PayPal, and you don't need a PayPal account.
