Christmas tour continues today

Published 4:00 am Saturday, December 8, 2012

The “I’ll be Home for Christmas Home Tour” continues today, offering tours of “the best and largest Christmas collection in Bend,” according to the Des Chutes Historical Museum.

The tour features the private home and collection of Sue Jorgensen, collections manager for the museum and an avid Christmas collector, plus two neighboring homes. Decorations span more than 100 years and include more than 40 decorated trees, a nutcracker collection, antique ornaments, traditional and contemporary ornaments and more. Jorgensen’s collection is so large that some items are only on display every few years.

Tickets are $6 per person at the door. Proceeds support the Des Chutes Historical Museum, the Williams Syndrome Foundation, the Children’s Vision Foundation and the Bend Heroes Foundation.

The tour will run from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at 21163 Clairaway Ave., Bend.
