MOTHER'S DAY WEEKEND MAY 8th & 9th, 2010

SATURDAY 10AM-6PM, SUNDAY NOON-6PM
MOTHER'S DAY BRUNCH, SUNDAY 11AM-2PM

Gather up your family, round up your friends, and come join us on Saturday and Sunday, May 8th and 9th, for the 37th Annual Swiss Avenue Mother's Day Home Tour. During this weekend-long celebration of Dallas' historic past, you'll explore some of the city's most fabulous Early 20th Century homes. Among the houses to be featured on this year's tour are the former home of W.W. Caruth, also owned by Mary Ellen Bendtsen; the former home of J. Woodall Rogers, an early Dallas Mayor and namesake of Woodall Rogers Expressway; and the Kirk Hall House, for whom Hall Street is named.

Travel between the homes on air-conditioned, vintage-style trolleys, or amble down the avenue in horse-drawn carriages, both provided at no charge. Between tours, relax and refresh in Savage Park. Enjoy great food and beverages provided by Penne Pomodoro and other local eateries. Listen to fabulous period-style music performed by members of the Southern Methodist University School of Music. And browse the displays of local artisans who will be showcasing their wares on the median in front of the park.

A Mother's Day Champagne Brunch in Savage Park on Sunday from 11AM to 2PM will feature entertainment by Matt Tolentino & The Singapore Slingers, a big-band-era orchestra specializing in music written between 1900 and 1935. Brunch tickets are $20 per person and can be reserved by calling 214.701.3396.

Home Tour tickets are $15 in advance and $20 the weekend of the event and can be purchased at any area Whole Foods Market or at Talulah Belle in Lakewood. Home Tour weekend sales are available at Savage Park, right on Swiss Avenue at Bryan Street.
