2010 Clark County Parade of Homes - The New Vision
On February 3, the 2010 Clark County Parade of Homes committee announced their vision for this year's Clark County Parade of Homes. With the struggling economy there aren't many builders who are able to step up and build a home just for the sake of the Parade. Lenders aren't in a position to finance either the lot or the construction and the Clark County Building Industry Association has been forced to be creative.
By creative, I mean that the 2010 Clark County Parade of Homes will not be like the traditional Parade of Homes that you may have attended in the past. This year's parade will have a hub of homes in one subdivision and there will be other homes on exhibit throughout Clark County. The Clark County BIA experimented with this type of format at the 2009 Parade of Homes with great success.
Some interesting points to note about the 2010 Clark County Parade of Homes are:
The 2010 Clark County Parade of Homes is scheduled to run from July 9 to July 25, 2010
The theme for this year's parade are homes that are "Hip, Cool, Green, Smart, and Affordable."
There will be 3 shows running concurrently; The 2010 Clark County Parade of Homes, The Remodeled Home Tour, and the Open House Tour.
The hub for the parade will be Pioneer Canyon in Ridgefield, Wa. There will be 4 to 5 homes there with numerous other homes at offsite locations throughout Clark County. The offsite homes will range from large luxury homes to an extreme green home that boasts passive solar design, solar panels and a wind generator for power needs, and high tech SIP construction.
All of the homes are slated to have energy efficient designs and features.
The offsite map will list the homes by category to help visitors find exactly what they are looking for. Categories will include topics such as green built, high tech kitchen, interior design, etc.
Although the format is changing a bit, the quality of homes that our builders are producing is second to none. Like all of the Clark County Parades in the past, this one will surely be impressive and well worth the price of admission!
As always, as I find out more information, I will share it here. Hoping to be able to sneak some of my infamous "Bootleg Photos" again this year. Stay tuned!

great rates ,..thanks for the Handyman comment....Gary d for Denver
I've been wondering if were going to be having a Street of Dreams this year ourselves. With expensive home sales and new construction both on the decline, I wondered who would be willing to step up. Glad to see you had at least a few that could do it.
How exciting to see green start to go mainstream like this!
