Back Door Kitchen Tour 2025
Thanks to a number of you stepping forward. we will have a committee to coordinate the Back Door Kitchen Tour. This year’s Tour will be on October 11, 2025.
Planning has begun and we have just over half the number of houses needed for the Tour. We are seeking three more houses that will open their doors for the Tour. If you would consider participating by having their home on the Tour or know of a friend or neighbor who might be interested, please contact Trisha McGarry or Pat Leitch.​
