The neighborhood hosted a holiday home tour entitled "Songs of the Season: An Historic Tour of Holiday Sites and Sounds" the last weekend in November 2002, coinciding with downtown holiday festivities. The guided tour brought more than 500 visitors to McPherson Town and featured 12 homes, each decorated to reflect a favorite holiday song. Over $6000 was raised to support the building of the neighborhood park. Many thanks to the hardworking volunteers for their endless hours of planning and preparation.

McPherson Town brings home 2002 St. Anne's Cup
The historic District Golf Outing and Social on Sept. 14 was a big success. the four teams from McPherson Town won the Golf Tournament. A total of 70 golfers played at Madden Hills golf Course and the social afterward was well attended. Many people from other historic districts commented on how nice McPherson Town is. the food and the event were wonderful. watch for the date and location of next year's event.

Despite chilly temperatures, dozens or McPhersonites turned out for an alley cleanup and bulk trash pick up on Sat. Oct. 21st.

Many items were cleared from alleys throughout the neighborhood. A large amount of the time was spent clearing a vacant lot off Babbitt Street on the neighborhoods eastern border. The teamwork paid off...and neighbors had fun blowing off some steam with shovels, rakes and chainsaws!

The afternoon was capped off by a pumpkin carving at Hawthorne school.
