Christmas Home Tours underway this weekend in Stone County

Tours of some of the nicest homes around Table Rock Lake are happening this weekend in Stone County.

$20 gets guests in to four beautiful homes decked out for Christmas.

The tour includes the 32,000 foot mansion built by professional baseball player Cole Hamels, which was gifted to Camp Barnabas.

People can also visit the marketplace and galleria at the Kimberling City Library. There are drawings for baskets and Christmas crafts.

It’s all organized by Neighbors and Friends of Table Rock Lake, a group that raises money to give to a variety of local charities throughout the year.

"Last year, we raised $62,230 that went to local charities and we are hoping that maybe this year will be $70,000 to $75,000 that we'll be able to raise. So, if everybody comes out to our Home Tour, that will help us meet our goals," Barbara Walker said.

The event ran all day Friday and will continue Saturday. The marketplace at the library opens at 9 a.m. and the homes open at 10 a.m. The Home Tours run through 4 p.m.

Guests can get their tickets at any of the homes or at the Kimberling City Library.
