The houses are under construction now and the opening event is Thursday morning. (Ern, please feel free to come down and shoot it-- there'll be VIPs.) The houses will be open to the public most days, with exhibits in our main tent, along with a kiosk where the public can sign our guestbook. Hope you'll all come visit.
