It's my birthday today and it has been a spectacular day.  My Facebook page, twitter feed and my email have been lit up like a Christmas tree with a tremendous outpouring of Happy Birthday wishes and I sincerely thank you.  Today started off great and has kept getting better and better as the day continue.  Our team arranged a nice birthday lunch for me at the office and we shared pizza, birthday cake and our team knows me so well that they they gave me gift cards to my favorite stores including a stack of Apple "iTunes" cards.   

Thanks for all the Happy Birthdays and I hope you get a kick out of my birthday video wish. Those of you who REALLY know me well know that beyond my family, my love for high performance cars, guitar music...I am constantly thinking about technology and our real estate business so remember that even on my birthday I am thinking about helping buyers buy, sellers sell and real estate promotion.  

Thanks again for helping make today a truly "Super Fantastic" day and here is my birthday wish link.

The Tomato Show in Fredericktown, Ohio has a little something for everyone.  The Tomato Show is a small town street fair with a community parade, fair type amusement rides, food vendors, entertainment, a 5K run and some exciting competitions featuring local residents.  Some of my favorite featured activities are the bathtub races, the tomato toss, the lip sync contest, baby crawl races and the pedal tractor races.  There are arts and crafts and it is a great place to meet up with friends in a relaxed and casual atmostphere.  The Tomato Show is always held the first Wednesday - Saturday after Labor Day.  

Below we have featured a one minute video highlight of the Saturday Fredericktown Tomato Show Parade.

We also created a video highlight of the Tomato Show activities including the bathtub races, tomato toss, fair rides and some other fun activities.

August 2011 home sales in the Knox County Ohio MLS were up for the month.  According to our local MLS, there were 52 residential home that sold ranging in price from $19,500 to $360,000.  The average sales price for a Knox County Ohio home that sold in August was $123,858 which is up from July which averaged only 35 homes sales.  52 home sales compared to 35 is a significant increase and a positive sign.  A side benefit for existing sellers who have their homes for sale is that the increased August homes sales removed 52 competing homes from the market.  This creates more opportunity for those who have their home on the market today and increased their changes to sell their home this year.

Those of us who are using the iPhone 4 in your real estate businesses are already experiencing the power of this amazing tech tool.  I personally love the integration of all the spectacular features built into such a small and useful package.  It wasn't all that long ago that we would carry a Palm Pilot, a digital camera, a video camera, a mortgage calculator, a cell phone and today all those features and a lot more are already built into the iPhone 4.  

I picked up what I believe is a must have accessory for the iPhone 4.  The iPhone has an impressive digital camera and video camera that is built in but the iPhone lacks a threaded location to attach a tripod.  THEGLIF.com makes a product that quickly and easily attaches to your iPhone 4. so that you can connect your iPhone 4 to a tripod in both portrait and landscape mode.  This is an amazing product and it is listed at SKU: GLF001BK and retails for about $20.

The Knox County Ohio Fair Week is an exciting time for those who live within or near our community because every day at the fair they feature something fun and entertaining rancing from truck pulls, tractor pulls, harness racing, tough trucks, a musical concern and many other exciting event.  Today we are featuring two unique types of racing that you may have never experienced before.  The first is lawn mower racing where racers use their modified garden tractors and these things fly.  The second type of racing is the School Bus Races.  When I first saw these full size school buses on the track I just shook my head because it became immediately obvious that these buses are going to banging into each other and they sure do and the spetactors go wild.  If you have never seen a school bus flip over onto it's side be sure to watch the entire video because the figure 8 race towards the end of the video is flat out crazy.
