April — Mon, 16 Feb 2009 19:19:45 +0000

I saw this on WKBW’s site and thought it would be an awesome thing if we could get the national attention to show what a great community we are!!

Producers are looking for local families who make a difference in the community and the lives of others, families whose homes are in desperate need of renovation or rebuilding.

All you have to do is email a short description of the family to: CASTNEWYORK@gmail.com

The deadline is February 20th. Nominations must include a contact phone number.

You can watch “Extreme Home Makeover: Home Edition” every Sunday at 8pm on WKBW-TV
