You are invited to the Spring Parade of Homes being held the first two weekends in June. This popular event, presented by the Capital Region Builders & Remodelers Association, consists of twelve spectacular new homes designed and built by some of the region’s finest home builders, architects, interior designers, carpenters and other craftsman. You will find the latest trends and technology in home building as well as cultivate ideas for your new home and remodel project as your tour these homes valued from $200,000 to over $1,000,000.

CRBRA is proud to be making a generous donation to the local chapter of the American Cancer Society from ticket proceeds. Please join me in thanking the dedicated American Cancer Society volunteers that will greet you at each Parade Home and encourage you to cast your ballot as you will be judging each home you visit. The winners will be announced on June 15.

New this year: Langan Audi East will showcase a full range of vehicles from luxury to SUV to high-performance vehicles including the all new Audi A3. These amazing vehicles will match the lifestyle of each Parade Home-offering something for everyone. Enjoy the double tour this year and bring your auto enthusiast friends! Added value bonus, Hoffman Car Wash will provide vouchers for a free car wash with the purchase of each ticket when you vote.
