General Information The Parade of Homes is an annual event where builders, subcontractors and suppliers join together with the Builders Association of Northeast Indiana to demonstrate the American Dream at its finest. The first Parade of Homes was held in 1992 when Mike Quance was President of the Builders Association. Thousands of people attend this highly recognized event which extends for 9 days, August 9-17. The extended tour allows visitors to view only a couple of homes per day if they wish. They can choose to visit any number of homes on display in any order. Potential home buyers and those who are looking for great decorating ideas can visit the Parade of Homes to see beautiful designs, state-of-the-art materials and a variety of home plans and concepts. Homes are open Weekdays from 1 pm to 7 pm and Saturdays and Sundays from 10 am to 5 pm. The Northeast Indiana Parade of Homes is a scattered-site show, which means the homes are located in a variety of communities. Tickets Visitors may purchase their Parade of Homes passport tickets, which includes detailed directions to each home, at the following area locations: Scotts Food Stores - Angola, Kendallville, and Auburn. Signs are strategically placed along the roads to assist in directing visitors to the homes. Passport tickets are $6 and admit the visitor to each home once during the 9 days of the event. If visitors wish to purchase their passport ticket at one of the homes, they will need to pay with cash. People's Choice Awards Each visitor to the Parade of Homes is afforded the opportunity to vote for their favorite home. A ballot is provided with the passport and can be dropped off at any of the homes on the tour through Wednesday, August 13th. The People's Choice winner will be announced on Thursday, August 14th. Door Prize Individuals touring the Parade of Homes also have the opportunity to enter to win a door prize. This year the door prize entry form is on the People's Choice ballot. The door prize tickets can be entered throughout the entire Parade. Designer Sale As visitors tour the homes featured in the 2008 Parade, they will notice signs displayed to let them know which furnishings and accessories in the homes are for sale. |
