The area’s premiere new home tour is in full swing and has truly become a part of the fabric in our fall season. Over the past week, the 2017 Saratoga Showcase of Homes has taken center stage. This annual event, now in its 22nd year, has 14 of our region’s finest builders presenting 18 homes. Another blockbuster year!
It began last Tuesday, September 12th with the Realtor & Judges preview tour. The twelve Showcase judges spent nearly ten hours on a bus to judge these newly constructed homes which were divided into three categories: Classic, Executive and Luxury Homes. Each home was judged on criteria in six areas: Landscaping, Interior Decorating, Exterior Design, Best Master Bath, Best Kitchen, Interior Floor Plan. Then on Thursday, September 14th, the popular Showcase of Homes Awards presentation and celebration themed, If You Build It, They Will Come this year, was held at the Saratoga Casino Hotel for over 300 attendees. As is the tradition, we snapped a photo of the participating showcase builders in this year’s event! What a wonderful evening with live acting scenes and music from the movie “Field of Dreams,” great food, special guests, and of course, the builder awards presented by our fabulous emcee, CBS-6 News Anchor Liz Bishop. Please take a look at all the winners and runners-up on our website at www.saratogashowcaseofhomes.com.
This past weekend, the Showcase of Homes tour opened and over 1500 people visited these spectacular new homes. It is a must see! Tickets are still only $20 and can be purchased at the door of any one of these homes or online at www.saratogashowcaseofhomes.com. Tour hours are 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM Saturday and Sunday this weekend and next.
The autumn weather looks terrific for this upcoming weekend, so why not take a drive and visit these homes? It’s an amazing experience and you’ll get to see the newest trends, most innovative products, beautiful décor and professional craftsmanship. Best of all, you’ll be supporting our talented local builders, the more than 75 local showcase sponsors and especially our two extraordinary local charities (Rebuilding Together Saratoga and Habitat for Humanity) who directly benefit from this annual community event.
