The weather was warm and windy and certainly not conducive to thoughts of Christmas Sunday afternoon and evening.

However, the Ripley Christmas Tour of Homes still brought a great crowd, strolling through seven houses and the Huron-Kinloss municipal council chamber.

Organizer Sonya Watson said 345 people took part in the tour, 50 more than the 2009 event.
