Summit County Parade of Homes 2011

The Summit County Parade of Homes is two weekends September. September 17th and 18th, 24th and 25th. Besides the homes it's a great time to visit Summit County to view the autumn leaves.
It's always fun to see the latest trends in building and decorating. Tickets are $10.00 which are good for both weekends, it benefits the Summit Foundation. On Friday the Realtors are invited to check out the homes, which is a fun but exhausting.  The homes are spread out from Breckenridge to Montezuma to north of Silverthorne.

Normally the homes are all brand new construction, but this year several of the homes had been remodeled or had additions.  That was particularly interesting to me - I see so many additions that don't make sense.  I saw thirteen of the seventeen homes that were open.

This is a view of Breckenridge Golf Club from on of the homes.
It's fun to see the latest trends.  Some of the homes had whole-home electronic systems to control the heat, security, music and TVs.  I'm looking for the "fun" trends - like TVs built in to the bunk beds and showers that would hold several people!  I saw them both.
TVs at each bunk bed!

Giant steam shower - big enough for a party?
