MONROE — The Monroe Arts Center (MAC) is giving the public a sneak peek of one of the five homes/businesses featured in their upcoming Holiday Parade of Homes on Dec. 5 from 1-5 p.m.

The Snow House was built in 1964. The Snow’s note: “Back in the 60’s many physicians and their families lived in this part of town, thus the name of this area of Monroe was referred to as, ‘Pill Hill.’” Joe and Terry are the fourth owners of this property and have resided there since 2014.

The Snow’s theme is “A Tree in Every Room,” so on the lower level, holiday parade of home-goers will view a tree decorated with fire truck ornaments, airplane ornaments and light house ornaments. Joe has been collecting these since 1995. Joe’s career in the fire service and love of small airplanes is the theme in this room.

The theme of the kitchen is Gingerbread. Terry’s Mother loved making gingerbread cookies that were hand decorated by the family. The living room hosts a tree with traditional ornaments that Terry has collected since the 1980s. The glass ornaments come from Germany, Poland, the United Kingdom and Chicago. On the sofa table in the foyer you will see the beautiful Italian Nativity Scene.

Joe and Terry cherish the”true meaning of Christmas” and much planning has gone into working to create this year’s fundraising event for the Monroe Arts Center.

Tickets are on sale on MAC’s website: www.monroeartscenter.com. For $30, ticket goers will have access to all five properties, but order your tickets ahead of time as early bird pricing ends on Thanksgiving Day. Tickets increase to $35 after Thanksgiving.
