COMMING SOON!

As a disclosure, I KNOW this is not a good professional photo (everyone who knows me, knows I am all about being professional!) The News Leader did a very nice front page add in this weeks paper. They will e-mail me their picture and I will edit this on Monday.

I am so excited about all the work that has gone into getting this new business up and running. I know the people of our town are going to be thrilled to see the doors open. We have our local Apple Butter Making Days coming up in Oct. What a great community event it will be adding a new business to the roster.

Consider this your sneak peek into the before and after (remember it is still in progress) I will do a more formal interview with the owners before the Grand Opening.

The BAYs for BOOTHS are about done. I can't wait to see what types of vendors bring their wares.

The front of the store will house the dollar shop items,- This market will have all my favorites, misc. items, antiques, crafts, hobbies, dollar items, auto supplies, books, and more. The only thing I don't see yet is an auction schedule (hint hint)

Someone call Pepsi to get a machine in here and we are good to go!

How long do you think they will let me store my SOLD sign in the window?

Congrats to all involved, what a fun new business for our lovely town. Glad I can share a peek- be good

Nice Morning cup of coffee and good conversation- what a way to start the day.

Local business man and theatre owner, Joe Levanti, prompter of the Horseshoe was my breakfast companion. We had a nice visit about the area, his plans for his business and a good talk about the Active Rain Network.

Joe is just getting signed up and it may take a bit to totally get his feet wet BUT, this guy is a hoot. We are all going to be blessed with getting to see our lovely part of the state through his eyes.

I will do a more formal introduction once I have a better handle on the whistles and bells, but for now I am excited to see Joe throw his hat into this ring. It will be a good time for all of us.

Yeah, the RE/MAX Balloon will be at the Aurora High School Track on Friday the 30th at the RELAY for LIFE event.

RE/MAX Properties will have a couple different things going on that night.

Balloon rides are a favorite, so if you have not had a ride in a tethered balloon, mark your calendar- here's your chance! I will be there- will you?

Also, our office BROKER, John Mareth has been "growing" his pony tail out for the past year + (I am not even going to offer my usual words of sarcasm here).

AS A FUND RAISER we are selling tickets to CUT the TAIL off the HORSE'S Pa-toot! (Yep, John is the ultimate horses ...... I didn't start it!) I have tickets for sale, you can call me with your order and I will have them filled out and available for the drawing to see 'who' wins the honor-

If you don't have aspirations of scalping my wonderful leader, I will be more than glad to be your stand-in if your name is drawn. Tickets are offered at $5.00 each and I will throw in a additional buck for each one purchased where I am designated as the "SISSOR-GAL of record"

See ya in Missouri!
