Once again we had a beautiful day, a great crowd of interested visitors, and a tent full of enthusiastic professionals showing their work. This year like last, kids had a blast painting birdhouses while their parents learned the details of geothermal heating and cooling, solar hot water heating and how a Windsor chair is made by hand (I bought two of those).
It is hard to describe the synergy created by over 40 experts and craftspeople in one place talking about what they know best – creating a comfortable, beautiful and efficient home. Whether you were looking for concrete countertops or limestone, they were there. If you want to walk up a beautiful set of stairs, we had some talented stair builders and if you wanted to go straight up to the second floor, there was an elevator manufacturer. We had experts on security, home automation, sound systems, and a company that installs the best whole house generators to keep those things running.
In a sluggish economy we had a great turn out, showing there is always a market for high quality products and service providers with integrity.
I would like to thank everyone who came to visit and everyone who spent their day talking about all the things that make up a fine home.
