The 2017 Thomas Fire caused devastation, but not defeat. On Saturday, April 30, Noon – 4:00pm 2022, the strength, and resilience of Ventura will be displayed at the Rising From the Ashes home tour. The event will feature a select number of beautifully rebuilt homes. This tour will be hosted by the Ventura County Library Foundation.
The homes’ distinctive and unique architecture captures the majestic views from the Ventura hills, while new landscaping embraces fire mitigation measures. Modern, Spanish Revival, Island Contemporary and Craftsman-style homes will be on display along with décor from some of the area’s finest interior designers. Six unique homes are on the inaugural home tour, staffed by volunteer docents. Each home features a different story of the Thomas Fire’s impact on county residents, but they also display the unified resolve to rebuild and hope for the future.
Tickets are $40 and available from the Foundation’s website at www.vclibraryfoundation.org . Proceeds will benefit the Ventura County Libraries. Library programs that directly benefit from this event include: Lunch at the Library, One County – One Book, STEAM Kits and the Mobile Library.
