December 13, 2025
We had an amazing weekend at the Pott’s Mansion! This year’s design theme was Joy Around The World, and you could feel the joy and happiness of the Christmas season in each of the rooms our designers and volunteers decorated in the style of their chosen country. We had England, France, Ireland, Italy and Germany well represented! And a model train room had ties back to the Potts family that built the mansion! We saw many new faces this year for our day-time tours, and we welcomed many friends and supports for our evening Jingle and Mingle Celebration.
Thank you to everyone who helped make the weekend so special. Have a Merry Christmas!
