2 Welcome
On June 1-9, TABA celebrates our 60th Annual Parade of Homes ™. Since 1953, visitors have recognized the Parade of Homes ™ as a standard for craftsmanship and the latest homebuilding ideas. This premier event is still going strong and I’m proud to be part of such a strong tradition.
Months of preparation are involved in hosting this event. Builders, subcontractors, suppliers, staff and volunteers collaborate to produce one of the top Parade of Homes ™ in our state. Special thanks to everyone who participated in making the 60th Annual Parade of Homes™ a success!
Each year, a portion of a portion of every admission ticket is donated to local charities. Charitable recipients this year are Azleway Boy’s Ranch and Camp Courageous by Rockin’ C Ranch. Please take time to visit the 28 homes featured and support these charities as well as our participating members.
