Artisan Home Tour builders, committee members, sponsors, customers and family gathered to celebrate the launch of the Artisan Home Tour on May 30 at the Ferguson showroom downtown. “The Artisan Home Tour is different from the Parade of Homes for several reasons, but the biggest one is that it highlights the work of custom home builders exclusively,” said Bruce Rieke, chairman of the Artisan Home Tour Committee. “I am proud to say that we have six of the finest custom home builders presenting seven homes for people to visit and each home features elevated standards of design, superior craftmanship and exquisite products.” Also speaking at the event was Mike Jeffries, director of development at Ronald McDonald House Charities. Jeffries thanked the HBA for again partnering with RMHC to support its mission of keeping families close. Several Artisan builders hosted parties at their homes to kick-off the tour and raise funds for Ronald McDonald House Charities. Through the first weekend of the tour, Artisan homes received over 3,500 visits.Appreciation goes to the Artisan sponsors: US Bank and its Private Wealth Management Group, Ferguson, Samsung, Kansas City Star and Spaces, Stewart Title, and Tradition Home Group.
