The 53rd annual Spring Parade of Homes is in full swing across the Kansas City metro area. Builders have reported heavy traffic to the 340 homes entered in this year’s parade. Kansas City’s Parade of Homes, the second largest in the nation, is a testament to the pride and commitment of our builders, developers, subcontractors and suppliers to promote the dream of homeownership. After judging was held on April 24 and 25, winning entries in the American Dream Awards contest were announced on April 29. Results of the contest will
appear in the June issue of the Building Business News. The Parade of Homes is always an exciting time for the Kansas City Home Builders Association and this year’s event has been no exception. We extend our appreciation to all builders and developers who make the Parade possible, to the members of the Parade Committee for their leadership, to Rocktops Granite & Stone Fabrication for delivering the Parade Guides and to the Parade Sponsor, Stewart Title.
