Welcome to our parade!

Being involved in the Cache Valley Parade of Homes has an amazing way of connecting the efforts of the members of the Utah Home Builders Association with your dreams. The Utah Home Builders Association is comprised of builders, subcontractors, suppliers and other related professionals dedicated to bettering their business and the community around
them. As you pass through each home, diverse in décor and layout, you will be able to take the time to learn what makes a home a great investment for your family and your money.

The Cache Valley Parade of Homes has become known as a ³livable² home show, and with over 8,000 people from varying stages of life envisioning themselves in each home, it is no wonder that so many people look forward to and enjoy the Parade of Homes.

I would personally like to thank the members of Utah Home Builders Association and the time and effort they have put into this non-profit organization. Participating with them gives me pride in my own occupation and in the members of our community. I would especially like to thank our 2003 Parade of Homes chairman, Darrell Simmons and his remarkable committee for their countless hours of service for this great annual event. I would also like to thank the numerous sponsors who have contributed to better our show this year.

We know that as you come and enjoy the parade, you will gain information and contacts to the various businesses in the area that are dedicated to making better homes and neighborhoods for our community.

Enjoy the show!

Sincerely,
Dan Fuller

What A Great Event!

I have learned that in any great undertaking, it is not enough for a man to depend simply upon himself. This year¹s Parade of Homes, like in years past, is the cooperative undertaking of extremely talented builders, sub-contractors, suppliers and committee members sharing their craftsmanship and professional experience to stage a great event.

The Northern Utah Homebuilders Association can be proud of their builder members and affiliates. Those attending the show should take time to inspect their work, ask questions and become familiar with many of the building professionals in Cache Valley.

Many local businesses are sponsoring the parade this year by contributing prizes and advertising. You will find interesting displays, have the chance to win valuable prizes and be able to vote for your favorite home in various categories. Please take time to vote and increase your chances to win one of the many valuable prizes.

The 2003 Parade of Homes committee has been an absolute delight for me to work with and really deserves ³all the good² credit in administrating the parade. I genuinely like these people, and I recommend that you take some time to become acquainted with their businesses and the services they offer. We have learned firsthand that ³to have a winner, the team must have a
feeling of unity; every player must put the team first ­ ahead of personal glory.² ‹Paul Bear Bryant. On a personal note, may I congratulate and thank all of the committee members for a job well done!

Thanks again for every contribution made to the 2003 Cache Valley Parade of Homes. We hope that you will enjoy the parade and spread the word to your friends. Please buckle-up and drive safe.

Thanks for your support,
Darrell Simmons

Willow Park Education Building

NUHBA donates time, labor and materials to a Cache Valley treasure.
Included in the mission statement of the Northern Utah Home Builders
Association are several goals, one of which is to 'provide public service to
the community.' The National Home Builders Association also has a goal that
each local association give service to their communities in a project titled
' Home Builders Care.'

As an association, we were looking for a project in which we could give
service back to the community. The Zoo Education Building in many ways fit
the bill just right. Roylan Croshaw of Croshaw Construction, a member of the
association, found out about the project and discussed it with the board of
directors and executive committee of the Northern Utah Home Builders
Association. A commitment to support the project was agreed upon. Although
construction has been slow because of some donated labor and materials, the
building is progressing nicely and will be a beautiful addition to the zoo
and the city.

Upon completion of the building, the zoo will have a facility that will
serve as an educational and learning center to inform school children and
adults of the life science of many animals. Another benefit of the education
building is to enable the zoo to acquire many more species of animals to
enhance the zoo itself.

Grant money and other funds, along with generous donations from companies
and individuals, have made construction possible to this point. Donations of
labor and/or materials have come from the following individuals and
businesses:

• Croshaw Construction (Roylan Croshaw)
• LeGrand Johnson Construction Company
• Chris Mortensen Construction
• Bruce Hauser Plumbing and Heating
• Lawson/Yeates Plumbing Supply
• Choate Electrical Service
• David Grange Construction
• Lynn Hulme Construction
• Firelight Construction (Dan Fuller)
• Hickman Land Title (Deon Hunsaker)
• Stock Building Supply
• Millers¹ Northern Utah Glass
• Rocky Mountain Concrete Pumping
• Euclid Timber Frames
• Western Mechanical (Jack Egbert, Bruce Speth, Mike Egbert)
• Johnson Drywall (Rex Johnson)
• Logan City Light and Parks Department

A special thanks needs to be expressed to Rod Wilhelm and Dale Ashcroft of the Willow Park Zoo for their help and support.

Construction continues and completion is expected before the end of the year. Many other companies and individuals have expressed an interest in contributing to this project, and we look forward to their and others¹ support as well.
