🌟 MEMBER MONDAY BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT 🌟

This week we’re shining the spotlight on Abel Insurance Agency, Inc., a locally owned independent insurance agency serving Mountain View and the surrounding community since 2008!

Owner Lucinda Burton worked in the insurance industry before deciding she wanted to own her own agency. Today, Abel Insurance is focused on something simple but important: helping people, saving them money, and providing great customer service. ❤️

As an independent insurance agent, Abel Insurance has the ability to shop around for its customers to help find coverage that fits their individual needs. They offer a wide variety of insurance options, including:

🏠 Home & Mobile Home
🚗 Auto & Commercial Auto
🏍️ Motorcycle & ATV
🚐 RV
🚜 Farm
🏢 Business Insurance
🏗️ Builders Risk
🏚️ Vacant Property
🛻 Trucking

And there’s something NEW happening at Abel Insurance Agency Inc! 🎉 They’ve recently added a new homeowners company for new and previously built homes, giving customers another option when shopping for coverage.

Community is also very important to the Abel Insurance team. They support local organizations and causes, including the Mountain View Family Youth Center, Veterans Day activities, S.C. Job Olympics, UPP and others. They also offer discounts for military members, educators, and certain occupations.

When asked their favorite part about doing business in Mountain View, the answer was easy: "The people—the community.” ❤️ And they summed it up perfectly:
“We are very thankful to live in this community and help others.”

📍 Abel Insurance Agency, Inc.

📣 LOOKING FOR A WAY TO PROMOTE YOUR BUSINESS & SUPPORT PIONEER DAYS?

We still have a few sponsorship opportunities available for the 36th Annual Pioneer Days — including one that’s guaranteed to get some attention. 😉🚽

PORT-A-POTTY SPONSORSHIPS — $200 EACH

Yep, you read that right! Your business can sponsor one of the port-a-potties located throughout downtown during Pioneer Days.

Each sponsored 🚽 will feature a sponsorship sign with your business logo, giving your business visibility throughout the day while helping the Chamber cover an important event expense. This sponsorship also gets your logo list on back of the official Pioneer Day T-shirt along with a shoutout on the PA during the day.

This sponsorship helps us provide necessary facilities for the many visitors, vendors, volunteers, and community members who will be downtown enjoying Pioneer Days.

✨ Promote your business.
❤️ Support a community tradition.
🚽 And put your logo somewhere people are definitely going to see it!

We only have a limited number available, so claim your potty while you can! 😂

Interested in this sponsorship or one of our other remaining Pioneer Days opportunities? Send me a message or give me a call!

👖🥾 HEY FOLKS — I’M ON THE HUNT! 🧤🧥

It’s that time of year when folks are cleaning out closets, having yard sales, and getting rid of things they no longer need…so before you toss or donate, I’m looking for a few items for one of our Pioneer Days activities this year!

I’m searching for a few pieces of OVERSIZED clothing, such as:

👖 Large pants or overalls
🥾 Large work boots
🧥 Oversized coats or jackets
🧤 Large gloves
👕 Oversized shirts
🎩 And other fun, oversized clothing items!

I’ve started hitting yard sales and thrift stores and have managed to find a few pants and hats, but I’m still not finding quite what I need.

I’m not looking for a ton — just a few good pieces! They definitely don’t need to be new or pretty. In fact, old work clothes are PERFECT!

If you have anything tucked away that you’d be willing to donate (or let us borrow), please let me know!

Thanks for helping me pull together another fun activity for the 36th Annual Pioneer Days! 🤠
