Phippen Museum’s Seventh Annual Designer Home Showcase

Saturday, October 2, 2010 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

We are well under way putting together our Seventh Annual Designer Home Showcase tour of homes that will take place on Saturday, October 2, 2010. Last year’s Showcase featured five beautiful homes, each very different in style and decor, as well as lunch at the Talking Rock Golf and Country Club. Guests from all over the U.S. enjoyed the tour immensely. This is one of the most popular fundraising events the Phippen Museum does and the most successful home tour in all of Northern Arizona.

This year’s Home Showcase will again begin at the Phippen Museum with pastries and mimosas for all our attendees. They will then board luxury motor-coaches that will whisk them off to a selection of the Prescott area’s most beautiful homes. Some of the Homes will feature spectacular views, while others will showcase amazing decor. Many of the homes will offer the very best in contemporary architecture and design. Every home on the tour offers something to delight our attendees. A gourmet lunch will be served along the way and the day will conclude back at the Phippen Museum with a special private reception. Each Attendee will leave with wonderful memories, lots of new home ideas, and a commemorative program with pictures and descriptions of each home on the tour.

The Phippen Museum Designer Home Showcase lasts from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, October 2, 2010. Tickets are only $75 per person and may be purchased by calling the Phippen Museum at 928-778-1385, or online in the Phippen Museum Store. Space is limited and tickets have gone quickly in the past, so please be sure to order your tickets today.
