Summit County Parade of Homes Weekend 2011

This weekend is your last chance to enjoy the 2011 Summit County Parade of Homes.  The Parade of Homes will run Saturday, September 24 and Sunday, September 25 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.  Tickets to the event are $10 per person.

The Parade of Homes typically features the most extravagant homes in the county, but this year’s choices take into consideration the current economic situation.  Featured homes include, mult-family dwellings, remodels, net zero energy homes, budget conscious construction and even a few over the top residences.

There are 19 homes involved in the Parade of Homes.

• 5 are in Silverthorne
• 1 is in Dillon
• 1 is in Keystone
• 1 is in Montezuma
• 2 are in Frisco
• 9 are in Breckenridge

Featured Parade of Homes Pick:  Home 14: 382 Fairview Boulevard in Breckenridge, CO

This home is a remodel and the before and after shots featured in the Parade of Homes magazine are amazing.   It is hard to tell they really are the same house.  Colorado Building Company updated this home from a dated early 1980’s home that was in poor shape to a completely renovated dream home that took advantage of the lot’s million dollar views.

All proceeds from the ticket sales of the Parade of Homes will benefit the Summit Foundation, which is a community organization that provides ongoing support to local organizations, nonprofits and programs.  Tickets can be purchased at City Market in Breckenridge or Dillon or through online purchase.  If you are unable to make it to the 2011 Summit County Parade of Homes you can still view the featured home through the online magazine.

 

September Snow in Breckenridge

This morning Breckenridge resident’s woke up to snow on the peak of the mountains!  Not all the snow from last year’s record breaking amount had melted – so not a noticeable change in view.  However, the start of the winter season is always exciting.  Thankfully, Breckenridge has not yet received any snowfall in town.   Also, the trees have started to turn for the season and the next few weeks promise to be filled with golden leaves!  Here are some photos of the new snow!
