The 27th Annual PebbleCreek Fall Home & Garden Tour held on Nov. 4 was a success! Thank you, PebbleCreek, for your support of the City of Goodyear’s Shop with a Cop program!

This year, $15,500 was raised through ticket sales and donations. The Home Tour Committee and City of Goodyear Police Department thank all of you who attended the tour and so generously gave donations.

Teachers, police officers, and crisis center staff choose Goodyear children-in-need to participate in the program. A police officer escorts each child through the store, this year at Target, to select items they would like to buy. These children have little to nothing, but often choose to spend their money on other family members. It is a heartwarming experience to see the excitement and joy in their faces.

Goodyear Deputy Chief of Police Santiago “Jimmy” Rodriguez met with all homeowners and volunteers prior to the tour and expressed his appreciation for all that our community does to make Shop with a Cop an annual event.

This event would not be possible without the PebbleCreek homeowners that graciously opened their homes to be on the tour. The Committee would like to personally thank each of them! Your kindness in giving people in our community the opportunity to tour your homes and your time to prepare your homes is deeply appreciated.

This year’s homeowners whose homes were on the Tour were Ron Flathers, Michael and Barbara Slaughter, Drs. Dan and Katie Croy, Dan and Sheri Bovee, Aaron and Sheri Spirek, Kevin Robe and Peggy Coon. Thank you to all our homeowners for opening their homes for this event.

Many thanks to the host and hostesses who volunteered their time to ensure the success of this year’s tour. We could not have done it without your help!

A special thanks to the PebbleCreek Activities Office for ticket sales assistance. Thanks also to Brian Day at BDM Printing for printing the program tickets and to Mary Couzens, Realty One Group, for generously donating the printing cost. This support makes it possible for all money raised to go directly to Shop with a Cop.

Committee Members are Wally Campbell, Chairman; Barbara Hockert, Homes and Homeowners; Charlotte Krause, Hosts and Hostesses; Janet Duke, Ticket Sales; and Suzanne Butler, Publicity/Program.
