Members of three Gold Star families – those who have lost loved ones in the military – soared above the parking lot at Henry Mayo Newhall Memorial Hospital on Wednesday to place the silver star atop the community’s Christmas tree that will be lit Sunday night in a festive celebration.
For the last 30 years, the HMNMH Home Tour League has given the community a glimpse into some of the most beautifully decorated homes in the Santa Clarita Valley.
That tradition continues this weekend, with a Preview Gala Friday night, the Holiday Home Tour and Boutique on Saturday and the lighting of the community’s Christmas tree in front of the hospital on Sunday.
This year, four homes will welcome hundreds of visitors to tour a magnificent display of holiday splendor. Guests at the gala will get an exclusive first look at the homes on the tour and enjoy a festive buffet dinner at Tournament Players Club on Heritage View Lane in Valencia. The gala is from 6 to 10:30 p.m.; homes will be open from 6 to 9 p.m.
For gala ticket information, call 661-253-8051.
