Green Home Tour
Thinking about greening your home, but not sure how to go about it? Wondering what constitutes a green home and what products are available in your area?
Community Bank of Oak Park River Forest and Seven Generations Ahead invite you to the first Green Home Tour on Saturday, September 13th from 12 noon to 4:00 pm.
Get an exclusive look inside Oak Park and River Forest homes that look great, save money, and are easy on the environment. Discover how to green your home regardless of budget or taste. Learn from homeowners and building professionals who have built and remodeled green.
A wine and cheese reception will be held immediately following the tour at the new green Marion Street Cheese Market from 4:00 – 5:00 p.m., where drawings will be held for a variety of green gifts.
Tour guidebooks will be available at each home on the day of the tour, and all attendees will receive a free copy of Seven Generations Ahead’s “Remodel GREEN” CD, an interactive green home product resource guide valued at $15.
Green Home Tour tickets are $40 in advance, and can be purchased online by clicking here or at Green Home Experts, Community Bank of Oak Park River Forest, The Buzz Cafe and Marion Street Cheese Market. Tickets will be available at each home on the day of the event for $45.
