Careful out there y’all, seriously We don’t need any more frostbite cases at work, and I promise you don’t need that kinda drama in your life.

Do the deep winter precaution things if you have to go out. Or, enjoy the deep, profound joy of cancelling plans and snuggle up with your favorite blanket/animal/person/space heater.

Want to give an official congratulations to Cherish and Aaron Ludlow on their new home! I’m very excited for you both; and can’t wait to see what you do with the place!

Hope everyone has a fantastic weekend!

If you go to Latin Fest on Saturday, I recommend the watermelon/jalapeño margarita 🍉 🌶 🍹. Yum 😋!

Also, I included a few Bridge to Bridge River Drive events but there was way to many!

We’d like to officially congratulate Cyle Metzger and Miriam Geiger on their lovely home!! It was a dream working together. Cyle called us on a Saturday, not even sure they were ready to purchase; as it happened we found them the perfect house and were under contract the following Friday. Sometimes it just works out like it was meant to be. Here’s to many happy years in your new oasis; we’re so happy you’re both in Peoria!!

There are some great events this weekend including some phenomenal fundraisers this Friday! Perry and I will be at Big Bothers Big Sisters Luau 🌺 and if you haven’t been to a Drag N Paint yet go check it out. West Peoria’s cafe Touch of Grey’s last day open is on Sunday so catch ‘em before they close!

This Friday, we hope you'll join us and Heart of Illinois Big Brothers/Big Sisters for their Big Luau event at Crusens on Farmington Road! It's going to be a really fun night, benefiting a great group of people making a difference in our community.

We couldn't be happier to be sponsoring this event, or this organization. Perry has been volunteering time with his little since January, and we really appreciate everything this organization does. If you're interested in joining for the event, the link for tickets is below. If you're interested in volunteering, reach out to HOI BBBS, or give us a call and we can steer you in the right direction!

Cheers!
