HOMEARAMA® Cincinnati 2018

HOMEARAMA ® : The Ultimate Showcase of
New Home Possibilities | By Adam Cristo, President
People keep coming back, year after year, for the
Cincinnati summer tradition of HOMEARAMA ® ! Over its
55 years of existence, HOMEARAMA ® still serves a vital
role in peoples’ lives—as the ultimate showcase of new
home possibilities!
If you’re interested in knowing what the new color
trends are—you will find it there! If you want to see
some really trendy kitchens, HOMEARAMA ® has that
too. If home decorating or outdoor living spaces are
your things, HOMEARAMA ® will show you some of the
best of both.
Each of the show sites and show homes are unique.
From the one-of-a-kind floor plans to the spectacular entertainment centers and
bathroom suites, HOMEARAMA ® will not disappoint. The expert craftsmanship
never ceases to amaze. This year we are excited to provide a unique and
unforgettable experience with both the new tiny home trend and multigenerational
homes. You will see examples of both!
If it’s your first HOMEARAMA ® or your fifty-first, you are still in for a one-of-akind
experience. This year’s community, the Highlands at Heritage Hill, provides
the ultimate location for some of Greater Cincinnati’s most talented custom
builders to demonstrate their unique skills.
Photos and videos of all homes, both inside and out, are welcomed
and encouraged. Post them on Facebook and Twitter using the
hashtag—#WowHOMEARAMA! Special prizes will be awarded to
those who post the most creative comments, photos and videos.
Remember to complete the kiosk survey for your show favorites—Decorating,
Landscaping, and Favorite Home. All who participate are eligible for a chance to
win two airline tickets to Chicago on Ultimate Air Shuttle and $250 in cash for
hotel or spending. Check out the street displays for other home products and
services. Many of them also have special door prize offerings. Get your punchcard
validated at all street exhibitor displays for a chance to win a 55" TV.
Don’t miss out on the incredible array of special HOMEARAMA ® events
scheduled throughout the 16 days of the show. Visit CincyBuilders.com for
a schedule or see page 15 of this publication. Also, download the Cincinnati
HOMEARAMA ® app on your mobile device.
This year we will be offering a two-day pass for those who want to spend
more time at the show and save on a two-day admission fee. The two-day pass
is only $24 at the gate—an $8 savings. With the two-day pass you will have more
time to discover the many wonders of the 10 magnificent homes in the show and
the true character of the Highlands at Heritage Hill community.
The possibilities are endless, but the show days are not. HOMEARAMA ® runs
through Sunday, August 5th.
As always, thanks for your support, which allows us to provide this new home
showcase year after year, with new possibilities for better living experiences.
Sincerely,
HOMEARAMA ® 2018
