Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood!

It was a beautiful day in the East Village neighborhood yesterday. It was the third week of the Sunday Bazaar. The weather was perfect, clear and crisp with a nice breeze. The vendors were plentiful and varied. There were vendors with jewelry, clothing, art, vintage furnishings. A live band was keeping the atmosphere lively. Food vendors also had varied offerings. It was good to see so many people out enjoying the day and the East Village. Check it out next week!

East High Victory

Friday night was a perfect night for football, even for someone who does not like football! The weather was clear, cool, perfect for all the things that go with high school football; cheerleaders, dance team (i.e. Steppers), marching band, and of course the football team. East took an early lead, then Sioux City North came back. But the last few minutes of the game made it a nailbiter to the last play. Congratulations East High Scarlets! Do it again this Friday for Homecoming.

Consider Battery Sump Pump as Back-up Insurance

Now that we've survived the floods of 2010, give this a thought. Often basements flood because the electricity is off and the sump pump fails to run. It's a common occurrence that electricity goes off during summer storms. There is a simple, reasonable, economic solution. A battery back-up sump pump system. In a normal sump pump pit, the float is set to start the pump and empty the water in the pit. In a back-up system, there is a second pump with the float set a little higher. If the first one fails, the second one kicks on and protects your basement. The back-up pump is powered by a marine battery. It is water-proof, it's continuously being charged while the electricity is on, but works when the electricity is off. It's cheap insurance and assurance. It you need more information give the Eisenlauer Team a phone call.

Pleasant Hill Summerfest 2010

The Pleasant Hill Summerfest 2010 has come and gone - and was a fun time for all involved. Bill Eisenlauer, a.k.a. the Parade Man, did a wonderful job. Our parade had over 150 entries. (As a point of reference, we participated in Prairie Meadows 3rd Annual Classic Parade the following weekend. They had 30 entries.) So Kudos to the Parade Man - Way to Go Bill!

He's also an excellent Realtor - call with any

real estate needs or questions.

Pleasant Hill Summerfest July 31, 2010

This Saturday is Pleasant Hill's annual celebration - Summerfest. Bill is Parade Man again- and he has, with the hard -working help of others, lined up a extravaganza of a parade. It will start at Doan's park at 10:00 AM, go north on Pleasant Hill Blvd, turn east at Pleasant Hill Elementary. The parade will follow Oakwood to Shadyview where it turns north, then west on Maple, where it ends at City Hall. Be sure to "holler" at us, so we can wave and throw candy to you.

The parade is only one of the many things to enjoy that day. The full schedule is on Pleasant Hill Chamber of Commerce website. There's a pet show at noon, talent show at 1:00. The ski show at 5:00 is a great time to relax and enjoy Copper Creek Lake. Top off the night with fireworks. There's more- so check the schedule. Or call your favorite Realtors

West Des Moines Campus of DMACC

I took a class last week at the West Des Moines campus of DMACC. I had never been there, was not familiar with the area or the building, but was definately impressed. When you drive up to the building, it's street appeal is striking. It looks futuristic. The inside is equally impressive. It seems to have all the lastest technology in all the classrooms. It even has a Cyber-Cafe! I always enjoy learing something new and this was a great environment for that.

If you need some schooling on any matters of real estate, pick up the phone and call Bill or Bob. They'd love to be of assistance.
