RAB Members: Do you have a home that deserves a little extra attention this fall? Dream Home applications for the Fall Parade of Homes are now open! If you've built something special, now is the time to put it in the spotlight.

Apply here: https://shorturl.at/BCMBe

While the Spring Dream Home program will continue to feature multiple homes, in Fall 2026 we are piloting a more exclusive format: selecting a single Dream Home—one in the Twin Cities and one in Rochester—to serve as the season's featured showcase. Our goal is simple: to concentrate attention, storytelling, marketing, and consumer engagement around one exceptional home and the builder behind it—all while supporting the Housing First Minnesota Foundation and its mission to build safe, dignified housing for Minnesotans in need.

The selected home will benefit from:
• Dedicated marketing and promotional support
• Enhanced storytelling and media opportunities
• Exclusive event activations
• Increased visibility throughout the Fall Parade of Homes season
• A unique connection to Housing First Minnesota Foundation initiatives

This is an opportunity to position your project as the flagship Dream Home of the season and be recognized as a builder helping define the standard for residential construction in Minnesota. If you have a home that represents exceptional craftsmanship, innovation, design, and livability, we encourage you to apply.

Everything came together perfectly.

The course was in excellent condition, and we had the pleasure of spending the day with an incredible group of people—a true win in our book.

We may be a little biased, but we happen to think RAB members are some of the best in the business. 🏆

The Post Bulletin's Best of the Best nominations are now open, and we know there are hundreds of RAB members who deserve recognition for the work they do in our community every day.

From builders and remodelers to suppliers, tradespeople, real estate professionals, and service providers, now is a great time to give a shoutout to the businesses and individuals who have earned your trust.

Nominations are open through June 15, so take a few minutes to show some local love and nominate them here: https://www.bestofthemidwest.com/rochester/best-of-the-best-rochester #//

As the school year wraps up, this incredible group of John Adams Middle School students is putting the finishing touches on a playhouse they’ve been working hard on for weeks in support of Family Service Rochester . 🛠️🏠

This project is about so much more than building a playhouse. It’s teamwork, mentorship, learning new skills, and seeing what can happen when local businesses and students come together.

A huge thank you to John Eischen from Carpet One of Rochester, and Jay Burke from Heartwood Homes for dedicating so much time mentoring and working alongside these students throughout the process.

Special thanks as well Kruse Lumber, Knutson Construction, and Home Depot for donating supplies and helping make this project possible.

Stay tuned for the final reveal…
