As the president of the Building Contractors Association of Southwest Idaho (BCA), I want to express my deepest gratitude to all those who contributed to the success of the 2023 Spring Parade of Homes and who made this event possible. First and foremost, I would like to thank Autumn Blume of our staff for her enduring strength, leadership, and commitment to our success. Next, I would like to extend a special thanks to Liz Amar of Biltmore Building Company, our Parade Chair, and her dedicated committee members. Their unwavering commitment and tireless efforts have ensured that this year's Parade of Homes is nothing short of exceptional. 

The Parade of Homes stands as a testament to the talent and innovation of our local builders in the Treasure Valley. It is with great honor that we showcase their remarkable craftsmanship and dedication to their craft. Your presence and support at this year's show have been instrumental in our mission to promote responsible development and support our community.

I would like to emphasize the importance of the Parade of Homes as our largest fundraiser. Through your participation and generous ticket purchases, we are able to better serve our community by monitoring and fighting regulatory matters that keep the cost of development and building down. Last year alone, we managed to reduce the sales price of a single-family home by an astounding $16,000.

I invite all of you to consider joining our organization, the BCA. By becoming a member, you not only gain support from fellow industry professionals but also contribute to the growth of the building industry, local economy, and educational opportunities within our community. 

Please visit www.bcaswi.org to join us today!

Looking ahead, I encourage you to mark your calendars for the Fall Parade of Homes in October. We are excited to announce that Fall Parade tickets will be complimentary, although they will still be required for each participant. This is an opportunity you won't want to miss!

Thank you for being an integral part of our growth and our mission. Together, we will continue to shape and uplift our community through responsible and innovative development.

~ Cody Weight, 2023 President of the Building Contractors Association of Southwestern Idaho
