Greetings and welcome to the 2008 Parade of Homes presented by the Builders Association of Elkhart County (BAEC). We are celebrating 41 years of the Parade of Homes. This year the Parade showcases 23 homes built by 22 builders. The central site at Farmington hosts 6 homes and another 17 homes are scattered throughout Elkhart County.

I am honored to be the chairperson for such a wonderful event and want to thank the builders for all of their hard work and creative ideas put into the wonderful homes they build.  Also, I would like to thank Brad Hooley with Bartel & Company for hosting the event at Farmington.  He has worked hard to make this a spectacular event. Many thanks to all the association members who make this event the best it can be each year.
