PARADE OF HOMES™ Contracts to participate in the 2021 Parade of Homes™ are due by 4 p.m. on Thursday, February 25, 2020. This is the final contract submittal date and no application will be accepted after this date.

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE TABA Members, Normally, we would be preparing for the Home Products Show at this time of the year. But as most of you know, we have decided to skip the Home Products Show this year due to the current Covid situation. However, we’re already looking ahead to next year and hope to see many of you back as exhibitors.

We will have a Parade of Homes™ this year! Builders, please note, there are many deadlines approaching for the Parade of Homes™. Be sure to read the Parade section of this issue, as well as the 2021 Parade of Homes™ contract.

We will not have After Hours in February, but we are hopeful to resume most events in the second quarter of 2021.

Also, be sure to save the date for an event we are adding this year - a Spring Sporting Clay Shoot, scheduled for Thursday, March 25th at 5H Sporting Clays in Frankston.

Members, the Spring Sporting Clay Shoot is not a HOMEPAC fundraiser, which means we can accept corporate payment, so hopefully this will make it easier for some of you to participate. We’ll be updating you with more information, but please contact TABA staff if you have any questions.

Thanks, Drew Carlyle TABA President
