Strengthening Our Community
Annually, the HBA produces the Home & Garden Expo and Parade of Homes. Members of the association present their businesses and finished homes to the community through these events. The organization and its members give back to the community through charity events such as, Fast-Built, Ramp-a-thon, and the HBA Truck Pull. Please see our Community Projects Page
