President’s Message

Welcome to the 2023 Parade of Homes sponsored by Builders Association of Elkhart County (BAEC)! The BAEC is very grateful that you chose to spend your time and money to view the homes in this year’s parade. As one of the builders in this year’s parade I join with the other builders in thanking you as well.

This is the BAEC’s third year to feature a Legacy Builder – a BAEC member who has been building homes in the area for decades. This year’s Legacy Builder is Fireside Homes. Tim Miller (founder) crafted his first parade home in 1985 and has presented beautiful custom parade homes every year since! Following Tim’s retirement in 2019, James Byars purchased Fireside, continuing the legacy Tim created.

I have been proud and fortunate to be involved in and a part of the residential building industry in Elkhart County since the mid-nineties. I have been involved in the BAEC for about the same amount of time and continue to be impressed by what the BAEC does and represents. Niki Groves and her staff of one, Jennifer Meier, deserve a huge thank you! I also want to thank Bill Hays, this year’s Parade of Homes committee chair as well as the entire Parade of Homes committee for the time and effort they have put into the event this year.

Thank you also to the companies who have sponsored this year’s parade – please make note of them on the following pages. My last thank you is to the BAEC associate members, - the suppliers and trade partners whose individual components and contributions culminate in each exceptional home you are visiting.

Again, thank you for visiting the homes and supporting the builders and the BAEC, your source for everything “home”.
