Fun Facts about Leap Day: https://www.rd.com/culture/february-29th-leap-year-facts/

What is Leap Day? ​​Every 4 years we add one extra day to the calendar, February 29th. 

• Do you know why? Each time the Earth rotates on its axis we experience one day on Earth. As the Earth rotates it also revolves around the Sun. It takes the Earth 365 1/4 days, or one year, to completely orbit the Sun.                      We take the 1/4 of a day and add it in as a full day every four years!

Who wouldn't love one extra day of sleeping in late? - Daylight savings time is around the corner!

As we move into Spring, don't forget to think about coverage for your boat, other boaters, and your fishing gear!

Ask us how! We are an independent agency able to provide quotes from several carriers, and we will be sure to find the right coverage for you!

Check out the short video above to learn more about Renter's Insurance.

Who needs renters insurance?
Renters insurance is for anyone renting an apartment, condo, dorm room, house, etc. (if you're a landlord renting out a home, there are specialized policies for you).

If your landlord/complex requires insurance, you can get a renters insurance quote with us. We'll send proof of insurance to your landlord/complex and help you make sure your policy meets their requirements.

The average renter has nearly $28,000 worth of belongings. If your personal property is stolen or damaged in a fire, your landlord typically won't cover anything. That’s why you need renters coverage to help protect everything you own!

Every day millions of tons of goods are transported across the country by way of tractor trailers.

Learn how to share the road with these professional drivers, and make the roads safer for everyone!

• Respect: Show respect to these large vehicles! They not only need more space to do everything from merging to turning, but also stopping! NEVER cut off a semi - it cannot stop as fast as you!

• Take Responsibility: Don't leave all the work to the semi driver. If you see them coming, yield! They are already balancing a number of other conditions that make driving difficult, and they aren't able to make corrections as fast or see as well as you. Give plenty of room to the big rigs!
• Avoid Blind Spots: The truck you are driving too close behind or sitting next to may not be able to see you! Understand that big trucks have different and larger blind spots than most private passenger vehicles!
