Tour of Kitchens returns in June

Don't miss the fifth annual Lewiston Region Tour of Kitchens and Homes June 8 and 9. Get an up close and personal look inside of six of the area's most fabulous homes and entertaining spaces located in the Lewiston and Youngstown region. Each home is uniquely distinct in its style, tradition and décor. Each one will be paired with a restaurant and chef who will prepare a sampling of a signature dish.

A tablescape is an artful way to set a table for dining. If you like to entertain, you'll love the tablescapes created in each home by local retailers and tablescape artists.

The Tour of Kitchens is an inspiring opportunity for anyone looking to renovate, rejuvenate or simply dream about fabulous entertaining spaces.
