Friday night, January 10th Destination Homes
joined homebuilders from across the Wasatch Front at Rio Tinto Stadium to take
part in the Home Builders of Excellence Awards, ‘Denim & Diamonds’. As the
theme title suggests, these were Denim and Diamonds a plenty in attendance.
The pre-dinner mingle allowed guests to visit and enjoy some
delicious cheeses and breads from the hors d’oeuvres table while seeing
builders’ work on display easels and television monitors in all sorts of
categories ranging from home features to advertising campaigns.
While enjoying a delicious buffet-style dinner, the program
commenced for the evening. New HBA officers were introduced and former officers
were honored. Kennecott Land’s Ty
McCutcheon was sworn in as the new Utah HBA president. Andrew Wittenberg took
control of the microphone soon there after to address the awards we were all
curious to find out about, but only after flashing some of his own EMMY’s.
The evening was a great opportunity to see many of our peers
be recognized for quality home building.
We were thrilled to be a part of this elite group when they announced ‘Destination
Homes’ to receive four awards:
- Best Overall Advertising Campaign – “Hill Farms Grand Opening Community Launch”
- Best of State – Custom Kitchen Design “The Iron Chef”
- Best Television or Radio Commercial – “Hill Farms Pandora Ad"
- Marketing Director of the Year – “Ryan Snarr”
