I'm very interested in the tour, but can't figure out exactly what happens. Does everyone just meet at coop #1 at the start time and caravan for as long as they can? What if someone wanted to come in the middle? Is there an itinerary?

Since the tour is self-guided, all you have to do is print out the map and then, on tour day, go see the coops that interest you. Since the tour runs between 10 am and 4 pm, there should be plenty of time to see all the coops and still fit in a stop at the info center.

See you on the tour!

Anyone know if the code enforcement department will be going through the list of homes to make sure they are 50' from neighboring properties?

not that D said...

D - why exactly would Code Enforcement do that, and why are you wondering? Code Enforcement works by specific complaint only. It's 50' from a neighbor's house, btw.

Thanks very much to all tour coop owners who have opened your homes to us!
