As you can see from the numbers below, our market is small. RE/MAX Results is located 2 blocks from the county line that separates LaGrange and Noble Counties, we are active in both and they are very similar. I have combined the data to give you a better picture of the local market that isn't skewed by a single sale.

School Supplies-Back to School

LaGrange County Schools

I just got my postcard for the back to school open house in August which means it's time to start shopping for school supplies and getting the kids to bed earlier. My daughter received the sweetest card from her teacher asking about her summer and telling her how much she has missed her. My son wants to keep staying up late and having video game marathons with his friends. I'm ready to get back into the school time routine : )

Here are the 2010-2011 calendars for our local school corporations. You can also visit my LaGrange County Schools page for links to all of the schools for registration times, open houses, and school supply lists.

RE/MAX Results Wolcottville Balloon Event in LaGrange County

If you want to see what it's like to ride in a hot air balloon, join us for tethered rides during RE/MAX Results Day this Sunday at the LaGrange County 4H Fair. Last year this event was so much fun. "Children" of all ages were thrilled to have their first chance for take-0ff in a hot air balloon. We will have a booth set up at 1:00 so stop by for balloons, tattoos, and to sign up for the free "Basket of Summer Fun" prize drawing. The balloon rides are scheduled to start around 5:30. For safety reasons, the pilot will determine start time based on the weather. Minors must be accompanied by a parent or guardian so plan ahead. If you can't make it to the fair this Sunday, RE/MAX Results will be at the Noble County Fair in Kendallville on Sunday July 18th.
