Ty Pennington and his crew of home remodelers are in town lending their skills for an Extreme Makeover in Gainesville, and they need your help.

An Extreme Makeover Home Edition pep rally started this morning at 8 at the Grace Methodist Church on Newberry Road. All skilled and unskilled volunteers were asked to attend. This event will help one lucky local family get their dream home.

ABC's Extreme Makeover Home Edition is getting ready to film an episode here in Gainesville in the next few weeks.

The Gainesville homeowners who are chosen will be notified on Dec. 7.
