A tour of homes was a new event for Tampa PRIDE’s annual Christmas celebration this year.

The hosts who opened their homes for viewing were David and Catarina Rziha, Leo and Sue Yanda, Walt and Iona Dietrich, David Mueller, and Danny Williamson.

It began at Tampa Senior Center, which was decorated with Christmas trees and poinsettias. The tour had 130 participants.

Tampa PRIDE held a drawing for a floral arrangement, which was won by Rodney Mueller.

Following the tour, PRIDE hosted a soup supper with donations benefiting the funds for the new park and renovations at Tampa Senior Center. Santa arrived on the fire truck to visit with the children.

Each child received a sack of Christmas candy. The monthly game night concluded the evening.
