The Holiday Tour of Homes features exquisite homes in Woodstock and Canton that are professionally decorated for the holidays by local designers. Each home has unique features that make it distinctive. Visitors will be able to get numerous holiday decorating ideas to make their own homes more festive for the holiday season.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What’s new this year?
- 2010’s Tour Sponsorship Levels have all been reduced from prior years to address the needs of the business community during the recession.
- As a way of encouraging Tour Ticket holders to patronize sponsor businesses and allow sponsors to gauge the effectiveness of their sponsorship, any ad in the Tour Ticket can be designed as a coupon.
- To increase exposure for Benefactors and Friend of the League sponsors, URLs (web site addresses) will be included in the Tour Ticket.
- This year we will be offering online purchase of pre-sale tickets. We anticipate this resulting in a higher-than-ever number of ticket sales and therefore more eyes on your sponsorship ad.
How many people will see my ad in the Tour ticket book?
We anticipate selling between 1,500 and 2,000 tickets for the 14th Annual Tour.
How is the Holiday Tour of Homes advertised?
The JSL’s Public Relations committee will reach out to local news outlets including the Around About magazines (Towne Lake, Woodstock, Sixes, Canton), Cherokee Life, The Cherokee Tribune, Cherokee Ledger, Points North, Cherokee Connection and neighborhood newsletters, as well as WXIA, WSB, FOX and WAGA TV.
What is the Preview Party?
On the night before the Tour, JSL members and Tour sponsors join to celebrate and kick off the Tour with drinks, heavy hors d’oevres and a special sneak preview into one of the Tour’s festively decorated homes. If your sponsorship level is Silver or higher, you will receive an invitation to attend the Preview Party and bring a guest.
Is my sponsorship commitment tax deductible?
Yes. The Junior Service League of Woodstock is a 501c(3) non-profit, and your sponsorship fee therefore qualifies as a charitable donation.
