This Halloween, make sure you follow your HOA's guidelines for trick-ortreaters in your neighborhood!! Some suburban neighborhoods will have lowered speed limits, rules about outdoor lights and decorations, and curfews, while more rural areas may have a gathering place for festivities, street-facing light rules, and restrictions to yard/ farm work as well. So it's important to check online or over the phone with a representative who can give you all the information you need! If you would like to be sent the Covenants and Restrictions for your neighborhood: email "C&R" and the name of your subdivision to office@indianahomeexperts.com!

Hello LinkedIn friends, family, and acquaintances, today is NATIONAL COOLER DAY | Friday Before Memorial Day! What more could you need than a cold drink for the official launch of summer? Something to keep it cold, of course! National Cooler Day, the Friday before Memorial Day, makes staying cool easy this summer. As simple as the design of a cooler may seem, it wasn't until the 1950s that the first cooler or “portable icebox” made the scene. In fact, the material needed to make coolers didn't even exist until 1944. While we rely on coolers today to keep our food and beverages cold for various outdoor activities - they do so much more. Coolers save lives during disasters by carrying food (cold or hot) to areas affected by loss of power. Sporting events, fundraisers, and parades run more smoothly when volunteers bring their coolers along. They also keep medications at the proper temperature during shipping. Of course, the combination of durable portability makes the cooler an essential tool in many ways. It is our spare seat, prep station, and umbrella anchor, too. Despite the wear and tear endured, they faithfully provide us with an ice-cold drink on a hot day – until the beverages run out. #NationalCoolerDay #DallasHarrisTips

Across the country, people who love and take pride in their region want to share it with loved ones, employees, or customers.

Two posts in one day? Yep, that’s because we’re also awarding Christmas Cottage and Santa’s Workshop today. Each entry was carefully scrutinised, especially for Christmas Cottage. The idea of Santa’s Workshop came about because we both, Mark and I, remember the big Christmas displays in shops like Myer and David Jones in Brisbane. Back then, there was a sense of wonder as we watched the marionettes dancing, the trains and the twinkling lights.  We both felt that simply because we live in a rural location, there is no reason the children should miss out on that wonder. The shops that participate, put a lot of thought into their entries, ensuring the children’s imaginations are engaged. It’s very rewarding to hear the children chat after seeing them, and there’s a second win, because if parents take the children, they look inside the shops. They see what is available and often you will find that they then frequent those shops. A win-win for everyone. Even better, the trophy (a mounted Santa) is awarded to the winners, the style changing annually. Some stores now have multiple Santa’s and it’s gratifying to see them in the windows, noting their success as winners each year. Of course, it’s never a foregone conclusion that if you won last year, you’ll win this year too.  To ensure even the smaller locales have an opportunity to win, we’ve grouped the townships and villages together, so everyone gets an opportunity to win. Christmas Cottage is because there was community support for a single house, with lighting to entice and dazzle. We listened and this newer initiative was born in 2023. No financial gain is involved, but the perpetual trophy moves from town to town depending on the winner. It stays for the year before a new name is added. At the end of the day, the Christmas Initiative is about hope, joy and cohesion. It’s about communities coming together to help and support each other, to give the children an opportunity to experience the innocent fun we enjoyed. #spiritofchristmas #collaboration #meaningful #morethanjustlights #SocialCohesion #doingourbit
