In addition, this year’s Home and Garden Tour is bringing back the Renovator’s Relay.

This event was typically held as part of the Cottage Home Neighborhood’s annual block party, which itself served as a celebration of community pride and fellowship. This event involved teams of residents and volunteers competing in a friendly race to showcase their renovation skills and creativity.

The Renovator’s Relay not only provided an opportunity for residents to come together and test their skills but also served as a platform for sharing renovation tips, tricks, and expertise. It fostered a sense of community spirit and collaboration among neighbors, as they worked side by side to strengthen friendships while having competitive fun.

This year the relay is back at the end of the Home Tour. The participants in the Renovator’s Relay will compete by completing various renovation assignments to see which team performs the best.

Team members will participate in a timed heat to frame a stud wall, hang wallpaper, build a small brick wall, race a corded power belt sander, and run a teammate in a wheelbarrow.

The winning team will receive the Renovator’s Relay trophy. Sign up your team today. Register one team leader and list an approximate number of team members. More information will follow. It’s fun and it’s free!

Sign Up Your Team for the Renovator’s Relay

Tickets are $20 in advance and $25 on the tour. Purchase your tickets on Eventbrite.

Studio Alchemy Book Launch Party
2023-10-06 18:00 - 21:00 | IN
Join Us for the Studio Alchemy Book Launch Party on Friday, October 6thNeighbor Addie Hirschten of Studio Alchemy Art Gallery is hosting a book launch party on Friday, October 6th from 6pm – 9pm at 1116 E. North Street in the Cottage Home neighborhood. Since people use symbols to highlight what is important to them and manifest what they want to see, Hirschten wrote a book, Alchemy of Symbols, to explore the psychology of symbols to inspire anyone who wants to thoughtfully incorporate them into their life. In this book readers will learn how to use images to help clarify hopes and dreams. Whether looking to select a symbol for a tattoo, painting, or sacred altar the Alchemy of Symbols will provide many ideas to work with. Part self-help and part encyclopedia, this book offers a fresh perspective on the meaning behind symbols. Come out to the party and enjoy the company of neighbors, live music and food catered by Becky Hostetter!
