When the producers of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition decided to completely rebuild Trisha Urban and her daughter Cora's 300 year old cabin, they created a fairytale inspired dream home, with the help of Scenery First. The local Tilden Township community in Hamburg, PA hastened together to volunteer food, labor, and emotional support. Trisha and Cora were left alone and in serious debt when Trisha's husband died suddenly of a congenital heart defect.

The internationally known Scenery First consists of a team of brilliant scenery design and manufacture specialists. The company is located just outside of Philadelphia. For over 18 years, Scenery First has built and designed sets for prestigious institutions like the Philadelphia International Flower Show, The Kennedy Center, Philadelphia Theater Company and Carnival Cruise Lines.

"We're thrilled to be a part of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. We've done scenery for hundreds of shows all over the world, but it's great to see our work stay so close to home," said Jack Doyle, president of Scenery First Inc. Scenic Designer Michael Barone adds, "The whimsical garden structures that we built for the Urban Hideaway Farms' garden are one of a kind and I hope the Urban family will love them for years to come."

The episode will air August 6 on ABC. For more information about Scenery First, visit SceneryFirstInc.com
