The Glenville-Emmons Post-Prom Committee will host its annual Christmas Tour of Homes from 1 to 5 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 30.

Tickets are $10 per person. They are available at Citizens State Bank of Glenville and Twin Lakes, Glenville Short Stop, Mainstreet Hair in Glenville, Addie’s Floral & Gifts, Doyles Hallmark and Sterling Drug. Tickets will also be available at each home on the day of the tour.

There are four homes on the tour.

Kavin and Diann Dressen

1020 Swanhill Drive

Albert Lea

The Dressens have lived in their home for 20 years and have made many changes. The most recent project was done this summer and included a brick walkway and flower bed.

The couple has several decorated trees throughout the house. There is a fresh tree on the three-season porch. It’s a “Charlie Brown” tree that comes from the north woods and is decorated with glass ornaments — a collection that started with Kavin’s grandmother.

The miniature Christmas houses on display on the mantel in the livingroom were gifts from the couple’s children when they were young. The Santa collection on the porch mantle were gifts from a friend over the years and are original designs.

Dick and Faye Madson

22169 720th Ave.

Albert Lea

The Madsons began construction of their new home in 2004 and settled into it in January 2005 after leaving their farm near Glenville. The lower level and main floor of the home are constructed of cement and the main level is completely handicap accessible.

The back of the home looks out over School Section Lake. Wildlife is an everyday event.

The home is decorated with the antiques the couple has been collecting for more than 30 years. This includes an antique oak fireplace mantel brought from the farm home to Albert Lea.

The cement floor in the basement was stamped, colored and distressed to look like old stones to go with the antiques. It’s not cold, though; both levels of the house have heated floors provided by a geo-thermal heating system.

Craig and Angie Stickfort

Bonnie Schneider

17885 710th Ave.

Albert Lea

The Stickfort home was designed by Craig and built by Bruce Stolaas Homes in 1998. It is actually two homes in one; Angie’s mother, Bonnie Schneider, resides in a separate living area on the south side of the main home. The two homes are connected on the interior by a shared main-floor laundry room. The entire home is heated and cooled by a geo-thermal system. In all, the home has more than 6,000 total square feet of living space. It sits on the 240-acre family farm.

The Stickfort home features a great room, which showcases the couple’s love of outdoors. The kitchen has a built-in island. There is a master suite with a whirlpool tub, an at-home office, exercise room and game room. There are two fireplaces, an open staircase and a deck complete with a hot tub.

Schneider’s home includes two bedrooms, a living room with fireplace and picture window, kitchen with an island, a bathroom and deck off the front door.

Corey and Crystal Farris

18602 700th Ave.

Albert Lea

The Farris family home sits on 3.5 acres. The 3,600-square-foot home was built in 2005 on one level.

The home features 15-foot vaulted ceilings throughout the kitchen, formal dining room and four-season room. The office is filled with the family’s Harley Davidson collection.

The home’s other features include a master suite, guest bathroom, laundry room, TV room, two bedrooms and a “Jack and Jill” bathroom. The woodwork in the home is oak, and heated floors are a bonus in the long Minnesota winters.

A map and directions to each home are available on the tickets.

Those going on the tour are asked not to smoke, remove their shoes and respect closed doors. It is asked that no children under age 12 attend.
