Below, Carol Barta was introduced... she was Princess at Kline's in 1956.
Christopher also took the opportunity to announce the winners of this year's Princess Halloween Contest. Pictures were taken during the Scare-It Halloween celebration this year and highly qualified judges determined the winners. Above... one of the winners who, although a princess herself, was a little shy at first.

The Good Samaritan Project Holiday Homes Tour was Sunday in Scarritt Renaissance. Seven homes were toured by bundled tour goers.... the sun made things more than bearable. Above and below, the home of Frank and Mary.
Above, carriages conveyed visitors from home to home.... below, the door to the home of Jason and Mike built in 1924.
This home is visually stunning inside....
Above and below many of the decorations in the home were made by Mike who is an extraordinary decorator and florist.
Mike's work area.... he uses MAC so he's totally OK by me.
Tomorrow and Wednesday more from the tour.
