Kitchen Tour this weekend
This Saturday (April 4) is the day for the fourth annual Kitchen Tour in Roanoke, which is organized by Virginia Amateur Sports. The tour raises money for the group's annual Get Healthy Virginia program.
This year's tour includes seven different homes, including four in The Preserves, a fairly new green development in Roanoke County. Visitors might get some ideas about energy conservation and other environmentally-friendly options by touring these kitchens.
At the home of Suzi Fortenberry at 6045 Roycroft Drive, there will be cooking demonstrations (at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m.), refreshments and live music by Dan Chitwood. The tour lasts from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., so if you are still looking for something to do on Saturday or you're in the market for some kitchen remodeling, this might be a fun way to spend the day.
Tickets cost $20 in advance. You can purchase them at Provisions Gourmet in Roanoke and Smith Mountain Lake, at Carter's Cabinet Shop, Leisure Publishing and Ladles and Linens. They're also available at Virginia Amateur Sports or online at www.commonwealthgames.org. If you wait until Saturday, the tickets will be available at any of the homes in the tour for $25.
