This Saturday, September 29th, kicks of the Town and Country in Fort Wayne. The Town and Country showcases houses from around the region and is very similiar to the Parade of homes.
Jeffrey Thomas, President of the Home Builders Association had this to say.
"This HBA [Home Builders Association] event allows us as an industry to show off our many abilities and talents. We have homes scattered throughout the various neighborhoods. We have many developments and lots that give you a chance to see many different price points and building opportunities in our area. Town and Country is one of our most attended HBA events of the year. Remember there is NO COST for visiting any of these sites. It is all underwritten by the HBA."
