Today is the Day!
Finally! After 106 hours, over 200 daily volunteers, infinite amounts of Roaster's Cup coffee and Country Fair spring water, Clara Ward's house is finally ready to be returned to her today. Only it won't be her old house, but an immaculate new house for her to start her new life with a renewed hope for her mission.
The rain today will not stop the presentation to Ms. Ward and her family, who have been resting comfortable in Disney World Orlando for a much-needed vacation. The presentation of the keys to Ms. Ward is scheduled to occur between 1:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. today. I hope Ty brings an umbrella!
Country Fair is flattreed to have been asked to be participant in what will surely be oen of the most positive events to happen in our community in a very long time. A time where this community could really use some hope.
I have posted a few more photos on our Flickr Web site. Check it out for some of the newest pictures of the brand new house and some of the work that has been done to neighboring houses.

The End is Near...
What a difference a few days makes! Clara Ward's house was just demolished on Saturday and just a few short days later a miraculous transformation has taken place on the site where an old house once stood.
Not only are the volunteers and Maleno Construction crew building Ms. Ward's house, they are also landscaping the surrounding neighbors' yards in efforts to transform the entire neighborhood! Workers continued to persevere through thunderstorms and flooding that took place in the Erie area yesterday. Nothing is going to stop them from finishing this house!
Today, plans are to decorate and move furniture into the home, then turn the keys over to producers for the BIG reveal tomorrow. You too, can be live at the new house to hear Ty Pennington shout "MOVE THAT BUS" tomorrow. An itinerary of events is posted below:
