March is here and that means it’s time for the Parade of Homes℠. This year Pratt Homes has four homes in the Parade of Homes℠. In addition to the Parade of Homes℠, the Minneapolis Home and Garden Show continues for its second weekend. Of course March means hockey tournaments, hopefully not tournament snowfalls, and St. Patrick’s Day. Hope to see you at the Parade of Homes℠!!
