The Tent is Down on another successful Parade and Community Festival in Downtown Tustin. As we look back on the 2nd Annual event, I want to personally thank all who contributed to its success. The funds raised from this and other events sponsored by T.C.C.Y.P. will directly support the dreams and aspirations of kids throughout Tri-County Area of Winnebago, Waushara and Waupaca Counties.

The highlight of the parade was the "4 Men And A Flag" Float - When they came through the parade route there was not a dry eye on the streets. It was amazing that they held their position for a full 50 minutes.

A 4th of July Parade would not be complete without the honored guest "Uncle Sam" Thanks Kevin "Nutty" Kellogg and your talent of walking on stilts!

Who says that a small group of dedicated people cannot make a difference????? It all began in the fall of 2007 when together with a girlfriend we won a local pool ($44) and pledged our winnings to create an organization that would be supported by local events and benefit our community.

We knew we needed help, so we rounded up the girls and began brain storming. After many, many hours . . our child was born! "The Tri-County Community Youth Project" -

Our Mission . . . To provide a positive and supportive opportunity to local youths so they may grow to be successful role models and contribute positively to their community today, and into the future".

On Saturday June 12th, Fox Cities Stadium in Appleton was host to the annual Donald Driver Charity Softball Game! Finally a beautiful weekend here in North Eastern Wisconsin. My hubby Donnie and I headed out to the ball park to watch the Donald Driver Charity Softball game at Fox Cities Stadium. We had really great seats . . . right behind home plate. I took this opportunity to try out my new Cannon Rebel! All money raised from this event benefit The Special Olympics.

The sun was shinning bright and warm, so we jumped on the bike and headed out to the park. If you live in Wisconsin or the Mid-West, you know how quickly the weather can change. One minute we were enjoying the game, player antics while basking in the sun; and just about half way through the top of the 7th inning, the clouds rolled in, temperatures dropped and we were running for cover.

We had a wet bike ride home, but made it safe and sound. It was so nice seeing the players having fun for a great cause.

Here they are demonstrating their quick feet and hands while taking in a mini boxing match!

We left just before the game ended and the defense was ahead by several runs- I am thankful that the rain held out and fun was had by all. Put this on your list of things to do next year. It is a great family event and a great cause.

Buying a home is a big investment, but owning one comes with a new set of expenses you may not have had while renting. It is important to keep in mind that your mortgage payments are just one piece, and a fraction of what the cost will be once you move into your new home.

When you purchase a home, there are several thing to take into account when putting together your budget. Here is a list things to think about when planning for your home purchase.

• Home Owners Insurance. Insurance needs to be purchased before you can get a mortgage. Insurance premiums vary greatly due to the type of home you are purchasing, the location among other items.
• Property Taxes. Your property taxes are based on the value of your home, so the more expensive your home, the more tax you will be required to pay.
• Utilities. If you were paying utilities when renting, you are familiar with this expense, but more space and rooms requires more utilities usage.
• Appliances. Most homes come with most major appliances, but you may have to purchase one or two - most commonly the washer and dryer.
• Furniture. Moving from a well furnished one-bedroom apartment to a two or three bedroom house makes one realize how much space there is to fill.
• Home repair & Maintenance. This expense comes and goes from one month to the next, but be prepared for something to pop up at anytime when owning a home.
• Yard Care. Caring for your yard requires large expenses such as a lawnmower and possibly a snow blower if your location is known for heavy snowfalls. Not to mention smaller tools like shovels, rakes, trimmers and so on to complete your yard care arsenal.
• Remodeling. From small projects, like painting, to larger items like new kitchen cabinets, hardwood floors, carpeting or a complete gutting of a bathroom, the expenses for remodeling projects vary, but often add value to your home.

I hope you have found this little tip helpful! I wish to much success in your house hunting and may you enjoy the many benefits of home-ownership.
