Happy Thanksgiving from Flury-Hinderks Insurance Agency! We are always grateful for our fantastic customers year-round, but want to take a moment to express how thankful we are for you this time of year!
Thanksgiving is a time to enjoy with family and friends, and we hope your celebration is a happy and safe one this year!
There are a surprising number of things that can happen over Thanksgiving that may warrant a call to us as a result – fires from a failed attempt at deep frying a turkey, sliding your car on the ice, a fender-bender during your annual Black Friday shopping spree, etc. While we're always happy to hear from our customers, we hope that it's not because of one of these! So please be safe this weekend!
That said, here are some fun facts to share with your familiy this weekend!
