For those of you in the Rapid City area who may not have heard yet, Allegiant Air has added a new direct flight from Rapid City to Phoenix!  The flight will be two times a week beginning November 21st.  And air fare will be as low as $69 for a one way ticket.  This is exciting news, especially for those of us who love to travel!  I know that I've taken advantage of the direct flights to Las Vegas and to Chicago, but now I can add Pheonix to my list of possibly get-a-way destinations!  For more information visit http://www.allegiantair.com/.

It's time for the 2007 Central States Fair in Rapid City!  It is scheduled for August 17-26th.  This year's theme is "Kickin It Up"  Sounds like fun!  There is something about a fair...it just brings the community together.  There is one event that I just can't miss every year...the Demolition Derby!  It's been my favorite ever since I was a little girl and my family would pack up and head down to the fairgrounds.  The derby is tonight, and I'll definitly be there!Not into Demolition Derby's?  That's the great thing about the fair...there is always something for everyone.  Visit http://blackhillsstockshow.com/index2.php for a complete schedule of this years events.

I just had an interesting evening volunteering at the Central States Fair.  We had to arrive 2 hours before the evening's event (Truck Pull) but after about 20 eager people had been seated we were all ushered into a sheltered building because of severe weather on the horizon.The tornado sirens were going off all over town but we had no contact or information to let us know what was going on other than our cell phones (Thank goodness for technology!).  My daughter informed us that we were getting a tremendous hail storm at our house but that they were all fine and knew to go to the basement if the winds started picking up.Finally the "security" at the fair (a couple college kids I think) let us come out of the shelter but informed us the sheriff's department would not let us go until a s...

Wow - another summer has already come and gone!  Several of the local schools start back in session in less than one week and the public school systems start right after labor day!Although I do feel like another summer has snuck past my busy work schedule, I am anxious to experience the cooler fall weather and the social contact that comes with football games, school activities, PTO, etc!  Our oldest daughter starts her Freshman year so there is added excitement in our home these days.  She also just got her restricted driver's license so my husband and I are learning to slowly loosen our tight parental grip and let her grow up! :)   I'm holding firm to my "no dating before your 16" rule!

The total number of residential listings for the Rapid City area come to 1352.  Which has gone down from the last few weeks.  A good sign for the market.  250 Residential Sales are currently pending.  For the year to date, 319 residential listings have expired and 535 residential listings have been withdrawn. The average days on market are currently at 94 days...a reminder to sellers that with the average days on market being around 3 months it is very important to price your house to sell!For more information on the current statistics in the Rapid City area, please contact the Casey Real Estate Team at 605-716-8809 or email us at serres@rap.midco.net.
