Win an Escape to the Sierra Nevada and a Tour of the FHB California 2018 Demo House

Courtesy of Fine Homebuilding and Green Building Advisor, PCBC attendees are free to enter this sweepstakes.

By Michael Moran Alterio

Attendees of PCBC in San Francisco (June 27-28, 2018) or the #KeepCraftAlive Networking & Fundraising Event at the ThirstyBear Organic Brewery (June 27 @ 6 p.m.) are eligible to win a Fall 2018 Escape to the Sierra Nevada & VIP Tour of the Fine Homebuilding House: California 2018.

Located in Nevada City in the Sierra Nevada foothills, this net-zero energy, high-performance house will meet the goals of the California 2020 initiative and comply with the most progressive energy code in the country. When the house is completed, Fine Homebuilding, along with our project partners Mela Breen and David Good of Atmosphere Design Build, will be hosting an event and house tours for our corporate sponsors, government officials and other VIPs, including the lucky sweepstakes winner and a guest.

Wondering how to enter? Visit the Fine Homebuilding and Green Building Advisor Booth #2560 at PCBC or register to attend the #KeepCraftAlive Networking & Fundraising Event at the ThirstyBear Organic Brewery. Everyone who scans their Expo badge or provides their contact information while at PCBC or our #KeepCraftAlive event will be automatically entered.

This spectacular sweepstakes gives the winner and a guest a unique and unforgettable trip which includes travel, food, and a two-night stay valued at up to $1,000!

Surrounded by lush forest and built around beautiful Deer Creek, Nevada City is known as one of the “Most Festive Towns.” Packed with bars, wineries, museums, many fine restaurants and more, this unique city is a must-have travel experience. To learn more about this great city check out the visitor’s guide: About Nevada City.
