I've been wanting to post this for the South Park Old House Fair that we went to check out. It was our second year that we went and a definite favorite neighborhood event of ours.

There are booths of vendors, realtors, consultants, and preservation experts all there to answer your questions about restoring old houses. The best part? You can purchase tickets (like we always do) to tour five private homes. Sometimes there are awesome historical and restored homes, other times you get a funky, interesting mix. Mostly, we get good ideas for restoring our own home and sometimes, we learn what not to do.
