This is the time of year when our community comes together to celebrate the season and decorate the beautiful pioneer home to a theme. This year's theme is "Peace on Earth" and we would like to thank artist Heidi Foss for letting us share her artwork here and at our event. This is the Dining Room and Kitchen as decorated in 2024 by the Port Orford Main Street Elves: Susan, Kitty and Janis. ⎈⎈⎈ Be sure to RSVP for Main Street Teas this year (call 541 604-0524) ~ it's such a great way to celebrate Christmas at the Hughes House with your family and friends!
