MVID Celebration "Family Time In
2009"
Wed, July 1
Date of
Events: Fri-Sun, July 3-5
This weekend is the great holiday weekend that is the signature
for Graeagle, the Mohawk Valley Independence Day Celebration featuring
this year's theme, "Family
Time in 2009." Starting this FRIDAY, July 3rd, FIREWORKS will light up the
sky, but not before an exciting Civil War Battle at dusk. Families are invited
to watch the firework show from the Civil War Camps on Friday evening. Food and
refreshments will be available for purchase at the camps and at the Mill Pond
before the shows.
SATURDAY, July 4th, get ready to dance your socks off with the spectacular
Blairsden Street Dance, which will also include a 1-hour Civil War
Period dance. Feel free to dress up for the dance in Civil War period
clothing if you want, though it's not required to be in the dance.
Food and refreshments will also be served at the event, so plan to
come hungry and ready to move.
SUNDAY, July 5th is the family friendly Day in the Park, which may
hold the record of featuring the most booths ever. Check out the
list on our official MVID page (www.graeagle.com/events/mvid) or
better yet, check it out in person before and after the parade on
the 5th.
And, speaking of the 37th Annual MVID Parade, just wait to you see
the line up! We have a long list of attendees on our MVID page, even
a large handful who have managed to hand in their applications AFTER
we went to press. Hey, it's hard to say no. But, it all means the
party will be grander as it slowly lulls through town. And, look
for a special event happening during the parade.
Also on SATURDAY and SUNDAY, High Sierra Balloon Company will be
giving balloon rides over the Mill Pond from 10 am to 12 pm, weather
permitting. So fly into town to get a chance to fly above it.

A Couple Bucks Can Make A Big Bang
Wed, July 1
If you have a few bucks to spare, please
donate it to the Mohawk Valley Independence Day (MVID) fund and contribute
to the fireworks display on Friday. Every year YOUR donation (even
a few dollars) helps us support our annual event. You may have noticed
the collection buckets in the local shops, and you'll see volunteers
working in the crowds during the Friday pre-fireworks events, so
if you can spare it, even a buck or two, they would truly appreciate
it. You can also send in a check if you prefer. Make it payable to
MVID, and mail it to P. O. Box 1043, Graeagle, California, 96103.
Checks can also be mailed AFTER the event, as well.

Mohawk Valley Associates - Your Real
Estate Partner
Wed, July 1
Jeanette Sassor, owner and the Realtor Associates at Mohawk
Valley Associates understand that the real estate market is in a bit of
hard times with many foreclosures, etc. In fact, the market is really
tough for new homebuyers or business entrepreneurs since many financial
institutions have really tightened their belts in regards to providing
attainable financial opportunities for anyone.
"The market is certainly difficult" says Sassor, "and
that's why it is important to have a capable realtor as your go between
when dealing with the banks and credit unions." Sassor further
states that there are really "good deals" to be had but
stresses the importance of having good credit, which financial institutions
are paying much more attention to these days. "The bottom line
is, members of our team can work as your liaison between the banks
and lending institutions, and help you secure a solid purchase while
shielding you from much of the pressure placed upon you by these
institutions."
Contact Mohawk Valley Associates today and see how
they can partner with you to attain your real estate goals. Call
530-836-2020 or 530-832-1919 to make an appointment today, or click
here to visit them online.
