Parade of Homes
Presented by the Builders Association of South Central Kentucky, the Parade of Homes runs this week Thursday thru Sunday (September 19-22). This year's Parade features the latest trends, including interiors and exteriors, new colors, floor plans, building products, appliances, home fashions and special outdoor areas designed to enhance your outdoor living. You'll tour both custom-built homes that have been designed for particular families and spec homes that are available for sale to the public.
All homes in the Parade are built by general contractors who have earned Registered Builder designation. The Parade gives you the opportunity to speak directly with many of those involved in the building of the home. You can ask questions and seek advice on anything from design choices to actual construction. Tickets are $10/person and kids 12 and under are free. For a complete list of homes and schedule information, please call 270-781-3375 or visit the website below.
