Parade of homes™ contracts due Builder contracts to participate in the 2020 Parade of Homes™ are due by 4 p.m. on Friday, February 14, 2020. This is the final contract submittal date and no application will be accepted after this date.

President’s Message Thank you for allowing me to serve as your 2020 TABA President.

I’m looking forward to the year ahead and hope to see both new and longtime members becoming involved in TABA and contributing to our industry.

Special thanks to Trey Hunt for serving as president this past year. I’d like to welcome our new board members: Chase Williams, Chris Moore, Ruben Watson, and Kerry Hamblett. And thank you to our new board members continuing to serve another year.

It’s almost time for the Home Products Show, an event that rivals our well known Parade of Homes™ in attendance. We still have booth spaces left, so if you are an Associate or Builder, consider jumping in the show and reaching potential clients.

Even if you’re not an exhibitor, there’s so much you can do to support the Home Products Show. Like and share the Facebook event , which can be found on TABA’s Facebook page. And stop by the show to see what it’s all about and visit with exhibitors. Builders, you can attend for FREE on Friday night. Make it a date night, and your wife might just win one of our many drawings at the show! And new this year, we’ll have a Lego™ Contest for children with judging and prizes.

Continue to check out our website for more information on that.

Thanks to our volunteers, sponsors and exhibitors for making this event possible.

Thanks, Steve Latson TABA President
