The 1st structured shift is from 1:00-3:30pm and gives each group of 8 ticketholders a designated home to tour in increments of 15 minutes during which time they see the home AND have to walk to the next home in that 15 minutes. We're estimating they will be in the home approx. 8 minutes. Their tickets will give them the 1st home assignment (corresponding to a specific cohort) and then the designation of the remaining 8 homes thereafter for a total of 9 homes. Docents will have a script that they will read to the group.
The 2nd shift is adhoc, or 'looky-loo', whereby ticketholders go to whatever home they want from 3:30-5:30pm looking at all the homes or just the ones they want to see. Docents at the door will limit persons to 8 ticketholders per home at one time so there could be a line on the front porch, permitting one to come in as one leaves. These ticketholders will have to be careful that they don't spend a lot of time on a porch such that they don't get to see all the homes on the tour as closing time is 5:30pm.
Because people are buying tickets in groups and we want to accommodate parties of 5 to 8 persons, we do not have the actual ticket packets at this time. By contacting me, Antoinette Pacheco, antoinettepacheco@yahoo.com, I will collect cash or checks made out to SPNA, reserve your space on the tour and issue you a receipt. I will follow up with you later to get you your ticket packet.
