'WINGS OF WINTER' TO TRANSPORT VISITORS
TO HOLIDAY HOUSE 2009 WONDERLAND


-Map to Bloodworth House














Each year, the Claudia Foundation invites noted designers to transform the English Baroque-style home into the annual Holiday House,  a wonderland complete with more than two dozen designer Christmas trees, hundreds of yards of garlands, live entertainment and more.

This year, a thousand origami cranes in flight will lead visitors into the immense library room. A real bald eagle will be featured in a live program. A new Kathy Dickson wildlife portrait, seven feet tall, will debut as a centerpiece decoration, and luncheons can be booked in the Imperial Tea Room. . . . Proceeds benefit the Charlie Classics Reading Program and our scholarship recipients. Thanks for helping us soar!
