Great traditional family home only minutes from MCAS Cherry Point. Tons of upgrades, fenced back yard, low traffic cull de sac.

Thousands of people traveled to Havelock, N.C. for the 29th Annual Havelock Chili Festival October 16 and 17th. As our first major cold front of the year pushed through the area, keeping daytime temperatures in the mid 50's, it was chili eating weather.

Havelock is the" Gateway City" that starts at the front gate of MACS Cherry Point, and active, retired military, civilians both young and old came together for the food and events. This annual event is a big draw for family fun and is very affordable for the family budget.

The last couple of "first time home buyers" that have contacted me did not really understand that they don't have until December 1, 2009 to take advantage of this potential 10% discount on a home. If they buy a $80,000 home they could get up to a $8,000 tax credit on that purchase.

In our area most lenders are recommending that we give everyone 45-50 days to "CLOSE" the purchase. If we figure 30 days per month and subtract 50 days from November 30, we end up with the first week of October as the "beginning of the end". If buyers have not submitted an offer to buy a home and started the loan process and the inspection process, there is a strong possibility that they won't be able to close by November 30. It's my understanding as of today this program will end and there is no extenstion at this time.

I know we are all being bombarded by "Cash for Clunkers" and "Health Care Reform" but I really don't think the potental market for the $8000k tax credit understand time is running out.

There is a video clip on my website www.CherryPointRelocation.com that discusses the end of the tax credit and how to plan for action now. Military families using VA loans need to act now as well.

I commend the goverments effort to inform the public about the switch to digital TV from analog, remember how many ads you saw about the dead line? Where is the urgency from the media, the goverment and the REALTORS about our deadline?

Let's let everyone know, that time is indeed short!

The Walter B. Jones Park in Havelock will be the site of a Military Family Appreciation Day on July 18, 2009 from 2 p.m. to about 6 p.m. This annual event is sponsored by the Victory Chapel of Havelock. This is the 4th event the church has organized.

According to Pastor Gary Monnens, the family oriented event will have something for everyone including games, food, music and fun.

PEDRO will be there as well as working military dogs. You can see the classic car show and participate in various drawings.

A presentation honoring military families is scheduled at 4 p.m. Various bands will perform starting at about 4;30 p.m.

Food tickets are 4 for $1.00 and you can get hot dogs, snow cones, cotton candy and drinks at very affordable family prices.

Proceeds from the car show and the gas grill raffles will be donated to the "Wounded Warriors" fund.

Last year over 600 people were in attendance and this organizers are planning for a larger crowd.

Come and enjoy the fun and fellowship with your neighbors and friends. The public is also invited to this tribute to our military families.
