The Kentucky Derby Raffle is one of the largest events the SSHBA hosts.  For the 200 people attending in past years, the event is always very exciting, businesses flourish with many new found relationships and its most definitely full of good, old fashion “fun”.

This year’s event promises to be better than ever.  The Kentucky Derby Raffle will be held on Friday, April 29th, from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. at Harrah’s Casino in Joliet, IL.  The Grand Prize this year is $2,500 (based on a minimum of 250 tickets sold).  

An $85 ticket entitles the holder to a chance at the $2,500 prize, buffet, and open bar for 3 hours.  This event has proven itself, year after year, to be a serious, networking opportunity to expand your business.

Returning this year, you again can race a wooden horse! Paint/decorate it yourself or sponsor a pre-decorated horse to be “raced” that night! Call our office ASAP for details and to get your  name on the list as we need to get the horses to sponsors very soon! Spectators will “bet” on horses to win by purchasing raffle tickets to which can be used to win any of our amazing raffle prizes. New this year, buy raffle tickets in advance. For $20 you can have a “horse leg” length of tickets waiting for you at registration! 

We are in need of a few more sponsors for our event as well. Please check out the flyer below and let us know if you are willing to help!

Last but not least, there will again be a contest for ladies’ best hat and men’s best dressed. The winner in each category will win $50 so start putting together your best Derby outfit!!

Your two raffle tickets have been mailed out to you and should arrive soon.  They are all numbered and assigned individually so please do your best not to lose them.  Tickets may be purchased by filling out the ticket stubs and returning them with a check made out to:  “SSHBA” or registering through the link posted above. If mailing, please be sure to mark on the ticket stub if you will be attending the event. Winner of grand prize drawing need not be present to win.

Please have your purchased tickets sent to the SSHBA Office by no later than Thursday, April 21st, 2022.

Tales from the SSHBA- March 2022

March 10, 2022

We are a couple months into 2022 and are off to a great start already.

SSHBA Member U.S. Bank started our year of events off with a Lunch & Learn teaching us all about their programs for construction and lot loans.

Next, our Professional Women in Building Council held a Sip & Paint at Bloom Art Studio in Mokena, IL

To end the month of January was our highly anticipated Chili Cook Off hosted by Brakur Custom Cabinetry in Shorewood, IL We had 8 amazing contestants but ultimately our winners were Chad Kurtz from Brakur and Sherry Wille from Brian Wille Construction

The month of February was quiet around our office but not in Orlando, FL where many members attended the International Builder Show! IBS is always a great spot to learn about new industry trends and learn about what’s happening in the world of residential home building. Stay tuned for next year which will be in Las Vegas!

Speaking about what’s going on in the industry, we just recently held our 2022 Economic Forecast last week. Danielle Leach of Zonda Advisory presented to over 60 SSHBA members and gave us a great outlook on what’s happened and what may be to come. Special thank you to Silver Lake Country Club in Orland Park, IL for providing us with a lovely venue and, as always, delicious meal!
