An opportunity to see five elaborately decorated, holiday-themed houses in North Whidbey will take place Saturday during the sixth annual Soroptimist International of Oak Harbor Christmas Home Tour.

The self-guided tour lasts from 4-8 p.m. Tickets are $15 and may be purchased at Upscale Resale, Casual House, Jones Accounting, Whidbey Printers and Banner Bank.

Soroptimist members will be on hand at each home, acting as tours and offering cookies and their recipes.

Five different homes are picked each year, said Soroptimist member Tamra Sipes. The homeowners do all the decorating then step aside as Soroptimist members lead the tour.

Opening up their homes on the tour this year are Brian and Erica Wassinger, 3084 SW Scenic Heights Road; Hank and Jill Vasquez, 658 SW McCrohan St.; Dutch Strehle, 1490 SE Pioneer Way; Sharon and Doyle Lewis, 1575 Polnell Road; Chris and Gary Lock, 724 Greenoch Loop.
