Parade of Homes..
 
What is a Parade of Homes.. here is the web definition.. The Parade of Homes is a showcase of new homes held annually in several regions throughout the United States. The Salt Lake Home Builders Association started this nationwide tradition back in 1946 with 66 consecutive Parades since then. In 2011, they hosted the infamous "UP" House from the Disney/Pixar Movie. Alternatively known as the Tour of Homes in some locales, it is often presented by the local Home Builders Association (HBA) or Building Industry Association (BIA). The Parade of Homes typically showcases high-end designer homes, both new construction and remodeled homes. Showcases can include single-family homes, condominiums, duplexes, and town homes. Some locations allow tours for free; other locations require an admission ticket to view the homes. Some locations offer awards for the best homes.

I thought I would share this one with you...

That outhouse is a lot nicer than the ones we had in the desert when I was growing up! I bet it smelled a lot better too. Young people (thankfully) don't know of these and it did bring back memories to make me even more thankful for modern appliances!!!

This is a lot better than the one I used for the first 18 years of my life. We had to go outside.

Definitely brought back memories of visiting my great uncle's farm and other relatives. Quite nostalgic but definitely better than the originals!
