It’s a milestone day for the Stacie Sanow State Farm Agency, celebrating 10 years of serving the Windom community. To mark the occasion, the agency is hosting an open house on Friday, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at its office at 1515 1st Avenue N in Windom. Sanow says the event is all about thanking the community for its continued support over the past decade. Sanow stated, “I’ve always believed in supporting the town you live in and we’ve been blessed with support from this town, so yeah, just a thank you.”
Guests are invited to stop by for a casual lunch featuring hot dogs, chips, cookies, and beverages. With a positive weather forecast for tomorrow, the event will be held outdoors in their parking lot. The Sanow agency has called its current location home since 2016. Over the years, Sanow says the business has grown in both customers and staff, now employing five licensed team members. While State Farm is known for home and auto insurance, Sanow reminded listeners that her office also offers a full range of services including life, disability, pet insurance, annuities, and other financial products. Stacie believes that educating yourself is always better than just putting your head in the sand and stated that even if you’re insured elsewhere, they are happy to sit down and help you understand your coverage.
Sanow encourages everyone to stop by the open house, whether it’s for lunch, questions about coverage, or simply to say hello. Regular office hours are Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., with evening and Saturday appointments available by request. Mark your calendars for Friday from 11am to 2pm to help celebrate State Farm Stacie Sanow Agency’s major milestone of 10 years of serving the Windom area.
