‘Paradise’ found
Lakewood Home Tour Festival co-chairs Kelly Moss, Mindy Jacobe and Meredith Ridgeway are using two “wrapped” SUVs to promote the Lakewood Early Childhood PTA’s 35th annual event. The festival and auction will be held Nov. 11, and the home tour Nov. 12-13. The theme is ‘Lakewoodville, Livin’ in Paradise.’ All proceeds benefit Lakewood Elementary, and monetary gifts also will be given to J.L. Long Middle School and Woodrow Wilson High School.

The Dallas Heritage Village junior historians group, volunteers ages 11 to 18, recently redesigned the doctor’s office exhibit at the “living history museum” south of Downtown. After researching and exploring the drugs carried in the pharmacy and the medical instruments of the past, they unveiled their work this summer. Pictured outside the doctor’s office are junior historian and neighborhood resident Elizabeth McPherson with her mother, Di.
