Peoria, IL - The Home Builders Association of Greater Peoria (HBAGP) has announced details of its 21st Annual Parade of Homes.







The Parade of Homes is a freestyle new home tour showcasing new construction in multiple area communities. See one home that suits your needs, or take the tour and see them all! You decide where to go and which houses to see on this self-guided tour of incredible homes. This year's entries include homes located in Chillicothe, Peoria, Dunlap, Edwards, Brimfield, Trivoli, Hanna City, Pekin, Morton and Washington!







The event is open to the public and will feature 12 Builder Members of the Association proudly displaying 18 newly-constructed homes. The event will be held two consecutive weekends; June 16-17 and June 23-24, and the homes are open all four days from 1:00 to 5:00 pm. Admission is free to tour the homes.







An official "Tour Guide" featuring information on each home and driving directions to the homes is available free of charge after June 13 by visiting any area CEFCU Member Center. The book will also be distributed in the Saturday, June 16 home delivery of the Peoria Journal Star. Visitors can even get started on the tour without a book in hand, as driving directions to visit the homes during the event dates can be obtained from the Association's web site at www.peoriahba.com. Once you reach a Parade Home, books are available in each of the homes.







Parade Home visitors have a chance to win a $4,000 above-ground pool from Backyard Living! Visitors must obtain stamps at 10 different parade homes on an official entry form that can be found in the Tour Book and on PeoriaHBA.com. No purchase is necessary to win. Complete contest rules are available on PeoriaHBA.com.







The 21st Annual Parade of Homes entries include single family and multi-family construction. The wide range of home locations offers visitors the opportunity to see homes in a wide price range, from starter homes to luxurious dream homes. Some homes are fully completed, landscaped and furnished; while others are still in various stages of construction, which offers potential buyers the opportunity to still make some personal selections for the home prior to completion.
