Lake Oconee Showcase of
Homes returns to help Habitat
provide homes for those in need
FALL 2021 | LAKE OCONEE LIVING 31
WHAT: 2021 Lake Oconee Showcase of
Homes
INFO: lakeoconeeshowcaseofhomes.org
In what has become an
annual tradition, the
Lake Oconee Showcase
of Homes returns to Reynolds
Lake Oconee this fall.
The event, which supports
Greene County Habitat for
Humanity in their mission to
provide safe, affordable housing
for local families in need,
showcases some of lake area’s
most exquisite homes.
Over the last three years,
the Lake Oconee Showcase
of Homes has raised
enough money to build six
new homes, and this year, as
many are facing an increasing
need for stable housing,
Habitat Showcase of Homes
is committed to continuing
to fill the need. Funds needed
to “Raise the Roof” on these
projects are raised through
sponsorships, donations,
ticket sales and an exciting
online auction.
Last year, despite all the
uncertainties brought on by
the pandemic, the committee
moved forward with the
Showcase of Homes, adapting
the event to a virtual tour
that resulted in unprecedented
success. The professional
video productions reached
viewers in 47 states and 17
countries.
Based on this popularity
and ability to reach a broader
audience, the 2021 Showcase
of Homes tour will incorporate
the online viewing
experience with an in-person
tour.
This year, tour-goers can expect
exclusive, timed-entry,
in-person tours on Saturday,
Oct. 23. The in-person tours
will be structured to ensure
a safe and enjoyable experience,
with health and safety
protocols in place. The online
broadcast will be available
from Oct. 22 to Oct. 24 with
different episodes featuring
the homes on tour, designer
spotlights and more. An
online auction will run from
Oct. 18 to Oct. 24, offering
many great items up for bid.
