Log Home Event Slated for Denver in the Heart of Log Home Country

A unique opportunity for builders and log home manufacturers interested in a behind-the-scenes look at the log home industry, this year’s President’s Tour by the NAHB Log Homes Council is being held in Denver, the capital of one of the top states for log home construction.

“Bringing the log homes industry to Colorado is important and exciting,” said the council’s vice president, Mark Feder, of Appalachian Log Structures, “Colorado features numerous styles of log homes, both manufactured and handcrafted, and attendees of the President’s Tour will be able to experience them.”

Feder will become president of the council during the March 20-23 President’s Tour. Held at the Westin Tabor Center in the city’s lower downtown area, the event will include tours, educational sessions, networking and meetings. Event registration is open until March 9.

This year’s itinerary includes:
