PRESIDENT OF THE TAMPA BAY BUILDERS ASSOCIATION
Peggy Templeton, Templeton Development Corporation


Welcome to the 38th annual Tampa Bay Parade of Homes™, the ultimate opportunity for you to view over 130 fabulously furnished and decorated model homes. These homes showcase the latest trends and technology in the building industry. This year's Parade promises not to disappoint, with a wide range of builders' models and communities that span the Tampa Bay region. Whether you are looking to live in Hillsborough, Pinellas, Pasco or Hernando County, you are sure to find the home of your dreams-homes that are larger and offer more amenities than ever before.

The Tampa Bay region is one of the most desirable places in the country to live. Over the years, the building industry has faced many challenges. The Parade of Homes™ has allowed builders to turn those challenges into opportunities and to showcase new building techniques, additional safety measures and new construction features designed to protect your new home and your family.

The Tampa Bay Parade of Homes™ runs from March 1 through March 16, 2008. The model homes will be open Monday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday from noon until 6 p.m. You will find there is something for everyone as you join us in the largest Parade of Homes™ in the Bay area.

Thank you for participating in the 2008 Tampa Bay Parade of Homes™.
