One year ago today, I took a leap of faith and with encouragement from my family, purchased Farmer & Company Real Estate.

What a year it has been. There have been challenges, lessons, victories, long days (yes, I'm still at my office, editing pictures as I type this) and countless moments that have reminded me why I love this business and this community.

I am incredibly grateful for all the Farmer & Company Real Estate agents, clients, my friends & family and everyone who has supported me throughout this journey from part-time administrative assistant in 2006 to Designed Managing Broker & Owner in 2025. Your trust, encouragement, and belief in me have made all the difference.

As I reflect on this first year, I am proud of what I've accomplished and so excited for what lies ahead.

Here's to Year Two! ❤️🏡

Thank you Senator Fowler and Representative Windhorst for working so diligently to protect this Southern Illinois tradition.

Senator Fowler and Representative Windhorst Advance Legislation to Protect 9-Day Trail Ride

SPRINGFIELD, IL – State Senator Dale Fowler and State Representative Patrick Windhorst have announced the passage of legislation through the Illinois House and Senate that would protect the Nine Day Trail Ride in the Shawnee National Forest.

Following Senate passage, State Senator Dale Fowler (R-Harrisburg) praised the legislation and its impact on Southern Illinois.

“This is a great example of lawmakers coming together to protect a long-standing Southern Illinois tradition,” Fowler said. “The 9-Day Trail Ride is not only an important part of our region’s heritage, but it also brings significant economic activity to our communities. I’m proud to see this legislation pass the Senate and head to Governor Pritzker’s desk for his signature.”

State Representative Patrick Windhorst (R-Metropolis) advanced the legislation to safeguard one of Southern Illinois’ most enduring traditions—the 9-Day Trail Ride, a nearly 60-year-old event that draws visitors to an encampment in the Shawnee National Forest each summer.

HB 4300 updates Illinois law to ensure the annual event can continue uninterrupted. The measure revises the statutory definition of “campground,” increasing the threshold from 6 to 10 days of operation per calendar year. The change became necessary following a change in campground ownership that created a potential regulatory issue for the event.

Without this fix, the 9-Day Trail Ride, typically held in late July in the Shawnee National Forest, faced an uncertain future.

“The Shawnee Forest is a vital natural resource and a major tourism destination that supports local jobs and small businesses,” Windhorst said. “When questions arose about whether the 9-Day Trail Ride could continue under current law, it was clear we needed to act. This legislation ensures this long-standing tradition can carry on for future generations.”

HB 4300 passed the Illinois House in April and passed the Illinois Senate late last week. The bill now heads to Governor J.B. Pritzker’s desk for final consideration.

Isn’t technology fun? Unfortunately, glitches beyond our control can sometimes cause inaccurate property information to appear online. If you come across a home you’d like to see, please reach out — while it may appear to be for sale online, it may not be due to a current glitch.
For the most accurate and up-to-date property information, it’s always best to connect with a real person rather than relying solely on the internet. My agents and I are always happy to answer your questions and help you find the property that feels like “the one”!🏡🥰
