HGTV Star Genevieve Gorder visited the Parade on Saturday, July 31 and brought spectacular energy, enthusiasm and a host of great design stories with her.  After helping to recognize M/I Homes for their 25th year of participation in the Parade,  she toured Kevin Knight and New England’s homes she joined WBNS 10TV award winners for a meet -and-greet at the M/I Homes Foundation House.  Her headline event at the Parade stage was hosted by design-centric Andrea Cambern from WBNS 10TV where their conversation delighted attendees and answered a wide-range of pressing issues from how tall she is (without heels, 5′10″) to where to find the fabric ‘that goes to die’ at discount prices!

The photos below are a sampling of those from the complete collection.
