This fundraiser has been held for 24 years and it has become an anticipated event in the community.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"modbody\"><span style=\"color: #000000\">Three local spectacularly decorated homes are selected to showcase. These homes are beautiful in their own right but are also lavishly decorated for the Christmas season.

Vendors from the community offer Christmas items, jewelry, clothing, specialty items, and our very own member-made pomegranate jelly, peanut brittle, and English toffee. Also, our community partner, Starbucks, provides coffee and a snack.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"modbody\"><span style=\"color: #000000\">The Assistance League of Bakersfield&#8217;s Bargain Box Thrift Store is decorated for the season, with a fully stocked store of wonderful items for sale.
