Despite the heat, the Preview Party was a great success attracting over 1000 attendees. Here are some quick shots of those that took a first glance at the eight spectacular homes, saw the award winners get their hardware, and enjoyed a fabulous fare from Cameron Mitchell’s.

The BIA of Central Ohio and the New Albany Company announced today the list of builders who have committed to building in this year’s BIA Parade of Homes at Ackerly Park. The parade will run July 24 – August 8.
“This group of builders is a fantastic mix of veteran parade participants and brand-new ones,” said Jim Hilz, Executive Director, BIA of Central Ohio. “We welcome each of them to the largest single-site parade in Ohio and one of our proudest showcases of the talent of our central Ohio builders.”
The list includes (names link back to their web sites):
The Zeppernick Company Custom Homes
“The location of this parade right in the center of New Albany makes it quite special because it is so convenient to dining, our schools, library and award-winning arts center,” said NACO President Bill Ebbing. “We have worked with these builders to not only assure that this is a memorable parade, but the best start of what will be a truly dynamic new neighborhood in New Albany. We look forward to their outstanding homes and the legacy that they will leave our entire community.”
M/I Homes will celebrate its 25th year as a parade participant, the longest of any builder in parade history.
We’re pleased to announce that next year’s Parade (okay, we know we still aren’t finished with this year’s event, but why wait to share good news?) will take place at a beautiful site in the heart of the New Albany community: Ackerly Park.
In 1991 and 1992, the BIA Parade of Homes was one of the first opportunities for people to see the new New Albany community; the event also returned there in 1999. The 2010 Parade site is within walking distance of the majority of the New Albany community’s amenities: Market Square, the school campus, several places of worshiop, and the McCoy Center for the Performing Arts.
If you are a builder interested in participating in next year’s Parade, let Jim Hilz at the BIA office know. The lot selection will likely take place by the end of September/early October.
