Tickets for the actual home tour are $20 each, or $19 with a non-perishable food item donation. The ticket booth will be located at 9th Avenue and Willetta Street (two blocks south of McDowell Road). Discounted advance tickets also are available online at www.fqstory.org. The Saturday night luminaria display and Sunday’s Holiday Street Fair are open to anyone at no charge.
