How does it work?

  • Students in Buncombe County Career and Technical Education (CTE) classes design, build, and market a playhouse (this year’s theme is Beach House).
  • Asheville Home Builders Association members donate materials and mentor the student-builders.
  • Playhouses from five Buncombe County Schools are judged and then displayed at the Build and Remodel Expo on February 1 & 2, 2020 at the WNC Ag Center Davis Arena.
  • Award categories are Craftsmanship and Viewer’s Choice. Be sure to vote for your favorite home on display at the Expo!
  • Playhouses are raffled off to five lucky winners!
  • Raffle proceeds go to each school’s construction classrooms and the Buncombe County CTE program.

Purchase tickets and support the schools

Anyone can purchase raffle tickets for a chance to win their very own playhouse. Proceeds from the tickets are reinvested in the schools’ construction classrooms and Buncombe County CTE programs. Raffle tickets are $5 and include one admission into the Build & Remodel Expo held at the WNC Ag Center’s Davis Arena on February 1 & 2, 2020. Raffle tickets can also be purchased on-site.

Winners will be drawn Sunday, February 2nd at 3pm and the winners will be contacted Monday February 3rd. You do not need to be present to win.
