Ellsworth AFB - Food and Fun for All.
August 23, 2007 | Leave a Comment
The Ellsworth AFB community gathered together to take a brief break from the grind of day-to-day life during the base picnic Aug. 20.
Centrally located at the Bellamy Fitness Center, this annual family-friendly event was sponsored primarily by local businesses as a way to say thank you to active-duty Airmen, retirees, Department of Defense civilians and families for their hard work, dedication and sacrifices.
The picnic featured free food, athletic competitions, tournaments and children-specific activities from arts and crafts to jumping castles. (U.S. Air Force photo/Staff Sgt. Shanda De Anda)
A Big Thank You

I have only been involved with blogs during the past few months. Is this the best thing in the world or what? I have heard for a couple of years, at least, that blogs were the “cat’s meow” and now I totally agree.
I have learned more in this blog and hearing from other professionals than I have in all the required courses I take to keep my real estate license up to date. The best thing is the day-to-day applications that these blogs refer to. Real stuff that is happening to real people right now. I look forward to reading and commenting to other’s blogs every night, while I am watching some mindless tv show. To me, these blogs are like reading the local newspaper. It isn’t about local events in my community where I live, but it is DEFINATELY about local events in my cyberspace real estate and Air Force community.
So, a huge thank you for everyone that reads my blogs, everyone that writes blogs and to the networks that started these blogs. A thousand blessings on you all.

A thank you to 2 Ellsworth AFB airmen from “Montana”
August 20, 2007 | Leave a Comment
Hello Everyone,
Yesterday (Sunday) was a first for me. I showed a young couple 6 homes for sale in the $90,000 to $129,900 price range. My kind of client. They live in an apartment and are very excited to move into their own home. After the 3rd home viewing, we came to this intersection where a lady was standing on the corner and a dog’s head was sticking out of a sewer drain. It couldn’t squeeze through the opening.
So I stopped and my clients following me in their car stopped and about 2 other cars pulled over as well. My client was from Ellsworth AFB and so was one of the guys that stopped to help. We got the steel plate off the sewer opening on the corner. But then the dog disappeared and went to another drain tunnel. We called for him, but he wouldn’t come back. Finally, however he did. We got him out of the sewer and water culvert, called the number on his tag and delivered him to his owners. The owners said the dog’s name is “Montana”.
Then we were once again on our merry way to look at the other three homes. I believe in Karma and felt great doing this good deed. After all of this I went to the Central States Fair here in Rapid City, South Dakota and saw Joe Diffie and Collin Raye perform.
What a GREAT day. Thank you to the airmen that helped. What a great asset to the Air Base both of these men are.

August 19, 2007 | Leave a Comment
Hello Everyone,
I want to send this out to any Air Force Personnel that are being transferred to Ellsworth AFB and to any Realtor who has a client looking for a Realtor in the Black Hills. I would like to offer my services. It doesn’t matter when you will be transferred, I can start to help you right now.
The first thing you can do is check out my website at www.duanehosek.com which has a ton of information on Ellsworth AFB, our community, the Black Hills, schools, recreation areas, etc. I think you will find it very useful and informative. While you are on the site, contact me by e-mail at duanehosek@hotmail.com and I can start the next step for you.
I will be happy to e-mail you homes for sale in the Ellsworth AFB area which includes Box Elder, Rapid City, Rapid Valley and others as well. You will receive a link that opens to several home listings. These will include pictures, room sizes, tax info., year built, descriptions, etc. It doesn’t matter if you are moving to Ellsworth AFB in one month or 1 year, I would be pleased to keep sending you these updated e-mails.
I look forward to hearing from you if you are in the Air Force and moving to the Black Hills or if you are a Realtor and are selling a home for an Air Force client you know is being transferred to Ellsworth.
Thanks………….Duane Hosek in the Black Hills of South Dakota 605-391-8424
