This weekend marks the beginning of the BIA Parade of Homes. It will be held at Tartan Ridge in Dublin and should prove to have the elegant homes of past years. There are eleven builders participating in this year’s event.
It’s always fun to visit the Parade to view new decorating trends or get ideas for our own homes. I suspect some “honey-do” lists get a little longer after the visits.
The Parade runs from July 11 through July 26. Hours are Mon-Sat 12pm-9pm; Sun 12pm-6pm. Tickets cost $12 and parking costs $2. Kids under 12 are free. Visit the BIA Parade web site for locations offering discounted tickets. Tartan Ridge is northwest of downtown Dublin, off Hyland-Croy Rd near Glacier Ridge Metro Park.
I’ll be there on July 18 working at the New England Homes model. This builder has won awards at past Parades, so be sure to visit it. If you’re there on the 18th, be sure to say ‘hi’.

EDITED:
I went to the Parade location today to pick up my pass to work the New England home. Here’s a photo of the New England Homes model where I’ll be on the 18th.
It’s very nice inside with a great floor plan. It’s already sold, but the builder can build one just for YOU!
This is the Duffy home model. I thought it was a very appealing style, especially with the copper roof. I haven’t been inside as there were many workers there today making last minute preparations for Saturday’s opening.
Aren’t you excited just looking at these gorgeous homes?
