•A special dessert sampling and cocktail reception (included in the ticket price) at the Barton Hill Hotel (10 a.m. to 4 p.m. both days), 100 Center St., featuring holiday pastries from two award-winning bakeries: The Village Bake Shoppe and DiCamillo Bakery. Everyone will also receive a signature poinsettia cocktail compliments of Supermarket Liquors and Wines and Wegmans (Niagara Falls).

Park your car and ride to the homes on the "Great Lakes Real Estate Polar Express." Trolleys will make a continuous circuit from Red Brick Municipal Building, 145 N. Fourth St., to the featured homes.

Lewiston resident Chris Castellani of Supermarket Liquors and Wines has stepped up as the presenting sponsor for this year's event.
