Parade of Homes 2004 participants and major show sponsors were honored at a recent VIP kickoff and reception for the Niagara County Builders Association home show. Niagara County Legislative Chairman, Bill Ross, was honored for his role in garnering tremendous support for the home show from the Niagara County Legislature.

NCBA President Stan Swogier and Parade of Homes Co-Chairman Murdoch Mitchell presented a plaque to Ross in recognition of his contributions to the highly successful show. A special proclamation signed by Ross was presented before the legislature during their recent session and was also read aloud at the VIP party.

"This year's home show was a tremendous success according to all the builders who participated," commented Swogier. The NCBA is planning another multiple-site home show next fall. Visit www.ncbuilders.com to keep up to date on next year's show and all other NCBA news.
