would have never crossed paths with had I not the opportunity to work with them and their families.\u00a0 It hasn&#8217;t been easy, the business building.\u00a0 Its long hours of work, constant learning the technical aspects of my craft, keeping up with trends, and just the daily grind of &#8220;business stuff&#8221;, like paying taxes, maintaining an old building, and boring administrative work.<\/p>\n<p>But we had some hard times this summer.\u00a0 That wind storm was a doozy, and though you may not have seen the damage so much from the outside, the inside of our Main Street business was destroyed.\u00a0 The roof was left with multiple holes, one as large as 5&#8242; in diameter and showing sky.\u00a0 The water damage was massive.\u00a0 The entire ceiling and all the insulation came down.\u00a0 The electrical system was fried, the air conditioners were ripped from the rooftop.\u00a0 Everything was soaked, the gym equipment rusted immediately and the cardio equipment was ruined.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2519 size-full\"

gym doors and it still is not quite finished.<\/p>\n<p>I am thankful that the only damage done to the studio side was water across the ceiling and some coming through the dividing wall between the gym and studio.\u00a0 But fear of the ceiling coming down in studio, prompted me to move everything from the camera room into the entry and office area.\u00a0 Along with gym equipment, it all made for a lovely window display out onto Main Street.\u00a0 Many people thought I was closed down as well and that hurt.<\/p>\n<p>But here&#8217;s the thing&#8230;.there are so many great people here!\u00a0 So many that jumped up and said, &#8220;how can I help&#8221;!\u00a0 And I don&#8217;t know why this surprised me, but it did just a little.\u00a0 This wasn&#8217;t a personal tragedy as if our home had been destroyed.\u00a0 It was a business&#8230;not so personal to most.<\/p>\n<p>Jesse Flath and his dad Warren, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/WesternFrontierInsuranceAgency.Hazen\/?pnref=lhc\">Western Frontier Insurance<\/a>, were the first.\u00a0 They were there immediately, helping salvage what we could right away and even trying to patch the roof while the rain still came down.<\/p>\n<p>James Sayler, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/westdakotalumber\/\">West Dakota Lumber<\/a>, came home from his vacation and got the ball roll rolling right away to get us the materials we needed to start repairs.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Speidels\/\">Speidell&#8217;s<\/a> found us the

the electrical system and got us back to code.<\/p>\n<p>Keith and Crystal Kruckenberg (and their kids), Kruckenberg Construction, worked like banshees getting the ceiling put back up and the walls covered in fresh paint.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Specialized-Cleaning-Restoration-Inc-150315338313065\/?fref=ts\">Specialized Cleaning and Restoration<\/a> was fabulous and

&#8211; the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/hazenchamber?fref=ts\">Hazen Chamber of Commerce<\/a> and the Hazen Lion&#8217;s Club sponsored a Fleischkeuke Benefit for the businesses effected by the storm!\u00a0 Something that had never done before.\u00a0 And the turn out was more than incredible!\u00a0 It was over whelming and left me feeling quite humbled.\u00a0 I saw friends frying up the fleischkeule, running back and forth trying to keep up with the demand, some of our youth sitting in the rain taking the donations, and people arriving with armloads of baked goods to donate.\u00a0 When the line became too long for the fry truck to keep up with, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Krauses-SuperValu-137459069672809\/\">Krause&#8217;s Super Valu<\/a> volunteered their kitchen to help!\u00a0 I watched people standing in line in the rain to order up some fleischkeukle.\u00a0 I know they are delicious and hard to make and these benefits are a great time to satisfy the craving for them, but still&#8230;all these people were spending their money knowing that it would help out some of their local businesses and friends!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"

examples through the years about what a special community we live in.\u00a0 I myself have\u00a0 participated in benefits and even organized one myself for a friend I love.\u00a0 I suppose I just never thought we would be on the other side of the story and it was humbling to find ourselves there.\u00a0 The urge to say, &#8220;Oh, thank you, but we can manage&#8221; is strong.\u00a0 But we needed this&#8230;maybe spiritually most of all.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not the biggest fan of that tired saying, &#8220;Its takes a village&#8221;&#8230;.\u00a0 so let&#8217;s say it takes a town&#8230;it took <em>our<\/em> town to come together and make us feel like our businesses mattered, that our Main Street is valuable, and they want to see us get back on our feet and succeed.\u00a0\u00a0 We really do have an awesome little down town.\u00a0 Its busy and thriving and cute.\u00a0 And as sad as it is to say, that&#8217;s a little unusual these days.\u00a0 Small local businesses struggle to stay afloat and many small town Main Streets have empty holes where businesses used to be.\u00a0 I am proud to say that Hazen is the home of our businesses because our town cares, shops and supports the businesses and families that run them.\u00a0 It couldn&#8217;t be done without the whole town!<\/p>\n<p>And thank you to those who waited patiently for the gym to reopen&#8230;who didn&#8217;t jump ship and find another place.\u00a0 Really, that means more than we can say!<\/p>\n<p>And thank you to those who called and asked for photo sessions, wondering if I was working or not, but still called!\u00a0 I needed that!\u00a0 I really did.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>The gym is officially re-opened and the studio is (as always) booking photo sessions!\u00a0 Please give us a call!\u00a0 And Thank You!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Please continue to support our local businesses by shopping and using local services.\u00a0 Its the only way to keep
