HBAL Presents Home Show and More

For 46 years, the Home Builders Association of Lincoln has produced the Nebraska Builders Home & Garden Show. It’s the perfect “one-stop shop” to start your home building or remodeling project. This year approximately 250 exhibitors will be featured in Pavilions 1 and 4 at the Lancaster Event Center the weekend of February 9-11. You can find a directory of exhibitors and a schedule of events at www.hbal.org/builders-home-garden-show.

In addition to the Home Show, HBAL also promotes home building and remodeling through its annual Spring and Fall Parade of Homes and the Tour of Remodeled Homes. Did you know HBAL has also given over $138,000 to the Lincoln community as well as to communities devastated by Mother Nature? In 2014, $16,000 was given to Beaver Crossing and Pilger to help them rebuild after tornados leveled homes and businesses in their communities. Last year, $5,000 was sent to Houston for hurricane relief efforts.

Almost one-third of HBAL’s financial contributions go towards scholarships for students entering a residential construction field. Applications are currently being accepted for three scholarships valued at up to $750 each. These scholarships are awarded to high school seniors attending The Career Academy in the building pathway who plan to continue their education at SCC-Milford. There is also a $1,000 President’s Scholarship offered, which is awarded to a high school senior who has a parent, grandparent or other relative who owns or works for an HBAL member company. For more information about these scholarship opportunities or the Lincoln Home Builders Care Foundation, please contact the HBAL office at (402) 423-4225 / info@hbal.org.
