It’s a Frostapooloza.
Hundreds of snowmen festoon the home of Linda and Larry Jubie.
What’s not to love about the jolly old souls?
“I’m attracted to snowmen. I just like them,” Linda said. “They are always so cheery.”
There are too many to count, but you are welcome to try during the Dec. 5 Holiday Home Tour by Assistance League of Everett.
The Alverson Boulevard home is one of six stops on the self-guided tour in north Everett. There are also four homes on Grand Avenue and another on Rucker.
We’re talking Tudors and mansions, new and historic. Homeowners open their doors to hundreds of strangers to help out people in need.
The tour is a trifecta of joy.
First: It raises money for Assistance League projects such as providing new clothes and personal care items to thousands of kids in Snohomish County.
Second: Each home is uniquely styled in grand fashion. It’s not limited to baubles and bling. The man in the red suit will be at one home. There is a bright red vintage pickup truck to admire at another.
Third: There is food at every stop. Each home has a chef in the kitchen. Not mere snacks, these are signature items made by chefs. Think: Buck’s American Cafe’s famous peanut butter pie. Other chefs are from Bleachers Grill at Cedarcrest, Rhodes River Ranch, Cama Beach Cafe, LJ’s Bistro &Bar and Kama’aina Grindz.
Added bonus: There are raffle drawings and a gift shop.
Shop. Eat. Admire.
Repeat.
The display homes were selected for their captivating charm and grandeur.
