Fall ShowcaseSM and Remodelers ShowcaseSM Two for One Weekend
9/8/2009

This fall, the Parade of HomesSM will begin with a very special weekend. Both the four-week-long new home tour and the three-day remodeling tour will launch simultaneously on September 11, 12, and 13.

“We wanted to combine the excitement of these two great events with one powerful weekend,” explains 2009 Builders Association of the Twin Cities President, Mike Swanson. “We know many families are weighing their choices between buying a new home or remodeling their current home, and what better way to do that than to look at both options at once.”

Moving the Remodelers ShowcaseSM from mid October to early September gives remodelers and their clients a little more time to meet and plan out their remodeling project before the hectic Holiday season. “We liked the idea of joining forces with the new home Parade of HomesSM for a lot of reasons,” says Remodeler ShowcaseSM chair and remodeler, Jack Williams. “The earlier time frame helps, as does the ability to tap into the huge following that the 61-year-old Parade of HomesSM has created.”

Showcasing the talents and highlighting the possibilities for home construction today are what the Parade of HomesSM is all about. Whether constructing a new home or renovating an older home, today’s professional builders and remodelers rely on state-of-the-art techniques, technologies, designs, materials and products that can make a home more comfortable, durable, energy-efficient and healthier. The new two-in-one Parade of HomesSM weekend is the perfect place to investigate all the options open to today’s homeowners and home buyers.

“The Parade of HomesSM has become a destination for many families today,” Swanson says. “Certainly, when a family has a lifestyle or household change, they use the Parade of HomesSM to explore their options to find the right home, builder or remodeler for their needs. But we also see plenty of families who participate in every event just for fun and to see what’s new and interesting on the home front. That’s what makes the Parade of HomesSM so special.”

The Parade of HomesSM is the region’s most comprehensive shopping opportunity for new homes, builders and remodelers. Twice every year, free tours feature hundreds of new homes and dozens of remodeled homes to visit, and the award-winning Web site, www.paradeofhomes.org features informational resources, search opportunities to help organize Parade HomeSM tours, and now, a year-round open house directory, the Parade of HomesSM OnTour, where visitors can find hundreds of new homes to tour any day of the year.
