It's take two for the 2020 Turtle Creek Tour of Homes. Now in its 19th year, the tour that mixes sky-high residences and with marvelous single family homes was postponed in April [https://dallas.culturemap.com/news/home-design/01-27-20-turtle-creek-tour-of-homes-2020/#slide=0] due to the coronavirus pandemic. Now it's proceeding in the safest, most modern way — as an online event. TV personality Jocelyn White will navigate virtual attendees through four luxurious homes on Turtle Creek Boulevard, plus one stately manor of Regency Row at The Ritz-Carlton. The presentation will include interviews and insights from the home's designers and architects, as well as the homeowners themselves. Online access will begin at 1 pm October 10. Tickets [https://www.eventbrite.com/e/turtle-creek-associations-virtual-tour-of-homes-tickets-117352158465] to the tour only are $40; previously purchased tickets will be honored. A Premiere Event Package ($125) grants access to both the virtual tour and an in-person or virtual Premiere Event party (more details below), plus other perks. Sales benefit The Turtle Creek Association, the 35-year-old organization dedicated to preserving 87 acres of greenways and parkland along Turtle Creek.
