Your First Step to Finding a New Home: The 31st Annual HBA Parade of Homes Starts June 21

Providing valuable information to homeowners and prospective homebuyers so they can make informed decisions is a top priority of the Home Builders Association of Northwest Indiana (HBA) and theres no better way to find out whats new than meeting the members themselves.

Thats precisely what youll have the opportunity to do starting next Saturday during the Parade of Homes. From June 21-29, you can tour a great variety of homes throughout Lake and Porter counties during Northwest Indianas premier new construction open house event.

We are proud to present the highest quality builders offering you a wide variety of housing options with many exciting innovations and designs, HBA Executive Officer Vicky Gadd said. Parade visitors will also have an opportunity to win a Toshiba 50-inch 1080p LED HDTV by playing Parade Bingo.

Simply pick up a bingo card at any Parade home and have the card stamped as you visit 8 of the 37 locations. When you receive the final stamp, drop your card in the box for a chance to win. The drawing will be held on June 30th, and the winner will be notified by email.

This years Parade is brought to you by the efforts of a dedicated HBA committee that includes Jeff Brant, Julie Deal, Vicky Gadd, Steve Huff, Dean Jones, Kathy Keene, Ed Kelly, Hal Kemmerer, Palmer Myers, Paul Shinn, Jamie Sulcer, and Todd Olthof, as well as the generous support of platinum sponsor ENG Lending, gold sponsors NIPSCO, Meridian Title and Carter Lumber, and silver sponsor Fidelity National Title.

The HBA serves as an advocate for affordable housing and partners with local and state government to ensure high standards of construction and development are met while incorporating sensitivity to the natural surroundings that reflect our commitment to enhancing our communitys quality of life, according to Gadd.

In addition, consumers can feel confident in dealing with HBA members who must adhere to the association's strict standards of practice and principles of business integrity. When you work with a member of the HBA on any project - from building a new home or remodeling an existing home to updating or replacing fixtures and installing flooring or cabinetry, you can expect professional service and high-quality workmanship.
