The student-built Victorian House on Penn College's main campus was featured along the Victorian Christmas Tour, held from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Saturday as part of Williamsport's 12th Annual Victorian Christmas weekend. A short synopsis of the Victorian House, including recipes from the School of Hospitality's Chef Paul Mach, was distributed to all ticketholders. A trolley stop behind Le Jeune Chef Restaurant took visitors to other sites on the historical tour. Le Jeune presented a buffet luncheon from 11 a.m.-2 p.m.; refreshments were served on the west porch of the Victorian House, as well. Several Penn College personnel were integral to preparations, including horticulture instructor Christine A. Fink and her students; Lenore G. Penfield, director of special events; General Services horticulturalists Michael H. Miller and Andrea L. Mull; School of Hospitality faculty/staff and students; and Linda L. Strous, coordinator of conference and guest services. Gail B. Landers, a group leader at the Children's Learning Center, and Linda J. Miller, hospitality sales manager, were campus house co-chairs; and Dina L. Wilson, associate professor of nursing, was a member of the Victorian Christmas Committee.
