Karin Housley's Weekly Update

I Can Hardly Contain Myself

 

All I’m sayin’ is…Monday Night.

 

Football.

 

<insert squeal>

 

I want to thank everyone who donated to my jail sentence to benefit MDA. I had the most online donations ($1,700) so I won a Wii! Thank you, thank you, to everyone who donated. I really appreciate it. I’m donating the Wii to the benefit for Stillwater Police Officer Brienne Heroux on Nov. 15^th. Save the date, more info to come (it’s at O’Garas and there are some great bands playing.)  

If you missed the Vine Valley Harvest Throwdown last Sunday night, don’t miss it next year! It was a great event, and surpassed our first year goals! The food was fabulous, auction items to die for, and my favorite, the wine was spectacular. Mark Hanson, from Marx in downtown Stillwater, was voted the Valley Favorite, by a slim margin, and went home with a Crystal Glass Stanley Cup, or something like that. Thank you to all the chefs from the area restaurants who participated. I’m still full.

We’re Busy at Karin Housley Headquarters…

Always something happening back at Karin Housley HQ. We’re having an Open House Blitz again this weekend, with homes in Liberty on the Lake, Woodbury & the St. Croix River open Sunday from 1- 3. Go to KarinHousley.com for details. (Please don’t forget to bring me a Diet Coke and a Reeses. Shout out to Gloria for her donation!) We also have a quite a few new listings, land options and new homes, waterfront and Victorians. You can see all of our listings at KarinHousley.com or find us on Realtor.com as a featured agent. (Can I throw in the 2009 Mpls/St. Paul Super Agent designation here again?) We have a new home on Guslander Trail with 38 acres, one on Pioneer Trail, Newman Trail, land on Neal Ave, and 73 acres on the St. Croix River in Hudson. The one featured below will hit the MLS shortly. Like I said, we’re busy, but we’re selling some too!

The Karin Housley Show – Tomorrow morning at 10:00 AM on the radio show we’re going to be talking with Jim Leonard of Fury Motors about what’s happening in the automobile industry. Also, attention Norwegians, I’ll be chatting with our remote correspondent at North America’s Largest Scandinavian Festival in Minot, ND, Norske Hostfest. We’ll also be spicing things up a bit with someone from the Chili Cook Off in Stillwater happening next weekend and how you can enter. Also, The SAHA Music Department is having their annual rummage sale October 10^th…if you’d like details, listen to the show, or email me back. They need donations, and customers. As always, we'll be talking real estate! Listen on the dial at AM 1220 or on the web at klbbradio.com. We might just talk a little David Letterman too, just because I want to. I hope I don’t parlay that into a spiel on Roman Polanski. If you want to hear any of our past three shows (Fran Tarkenton dissin’ a bit on Brett Favre) here is the link to our previous podcasts.

 

One more thing, if you want to get the Ponies Score of the football game live each week, you can follow it on Twitter... www.twitter.com/PoniesScore

 

Have a great & stay dry weekend!

P.S. Julie, my assistant, is so excited that hockey has started that she can’t stop watching this Miracle on Ice pre-game speech. You were born to be a hockey player, Julie!!
