According to Lynn Schneider, assistant vice president of marketing, the theme of this year’s Open House will be “A Stroll through the Decades.”
“The entire community will be decorated to reflect the different eras of the last 100 years,” said Schneider.
Among the eras to be depicted will be the 1904 St. Louis World’s Fair, which will be set up in the community park on The Island and will include several items that were originated at the World’s Fair including a Ferris wheel, floral clock, and perfume fountain. Shell Point’s newest neighborhood, Eagles Preserve will be the site of the 1930s Old West with a chuck wagon of refreshments and country music. Additionally, there will be a nod to the Roaring Twenties; the big band era of the fabulous 40s; and to sock-hopping 50s, the Beach-Boy style 60s, and much more.
