As a non-profit organization, the ETBA organizes several special events every year. These events not only provide funds for the association, they also allow for networking opportunities for members. 100% of the Sporting Clays net proceeds benefit the James H. Kilpatrick Scholarship Fund. Also, remember to click on the Parade of Homes and Home & Design tab on the home page.
Parade of Homes™
Each Spring and Fall, the Longview area Parade of Homes™ showcases the latest in home design. If you’re thinking about buying a new home, it will be worth your time to tour the Spring and/or Fall Parade of Homes™. Even if you’re not looking to buy a new home, it’s always enjoyable to go and walk through some of the area’s best new homes. When you’re ready to build, you’ll remember that house you loved or that builder you met.
The parade homes are a great source of decorating ideas — after all, houses are frequently professionally furnished and decorated to reflect the latest trends. Consider these other benefits: You’ll also see first-hand the latest in architectural design, color, interior finishes and home technologies.
The Longview area Parade of Homes™ also allows the public an opportunity to meet the builders and gather information about products. Click here for the most up-to-date information for the 2026 Parade of Homes™.
In addition, each Parade of Homes™ showcases the work of top architects, interior designers, landscapers, home automation specialists, kitchen and bath designers, manufacturers and suppliers of building products and services.
