We spoke with Dallas CASA’s Ben Wilkins at the kick-off of The Parade of Playhouses at Northpark Center this past weekend — see the video after the jump.

The exhibit, which you can visit through August 23 on first floor beginning outside Macy’s, showcases 14 ingenious playhouses — a few I wouldn’t mind moving into. Rick and Diana Strauss donated the Smart Car featured in the video. The shiny little car as well as all of the houses will be raffled off at the end of the month, and proceeds go to help abused and neglected children.
