A useful notice from the Winneshiek County Sheriff's Office

The Winneshiek County Sheriff’s Office has received several reports of fraud happening when payment checks are being mailed. We have primarily been seeing this scam when mailing payments to credit card companies. These payment checks are being sent in the mail and then the criminals are intercepting, forging and cashing. The criminals are “washing” the checks and making the checks out for a larger value and then cashing the checks. This fraud is occurring at a rapid pace here in Winneshiek County and surround counties. Please stay vigilant when sending payments via the mail or consider other payment methods. Please remember that no method of payment is ever 100% secure.

Please call the Winneshiek County Sheriff’s Office if you experience any suspicious activity with your financial accounts.

________________________________
**from the Sweeney Real Estate Page:
From a one-desk office in 1960 to a full-service real estate firm serving all of Northeast Iowa and Southeast Minnesota —
Sweeney Real Estate has been built on 65 years of vision, grit, and family legacy.

Here are just a few of the major milestones that brought us here:
✅ Ralph Sweeney opens the doors in 1960
✅ Jack Sweeney takes the reins in 1979 and begins developing homes, condos, and modular housing
✅ Stacie earns her broker’s license and begins investing in housing in the early 2000s
✅ John brings commercial, land, and rental expertise starting in 2009
✅ In 2025, John and Stacie step into ownership as the 3rd generation to lead Sweeney Real Estate forward

And while those were defining moments… there are so many others worth remembering:
🏢 The first Waukon condominiums
🛠️ A motel turned into apartments
🌳 Developments like Northgate, Green Valley, and Village Shopping Center
🏠 Dozens of remodels, rentals, and properties that became somebody’s dream home

This legacy wasn’t built overnight — and it wasn’t built alone. It’s been shaped by every client, contractor, and community member who’s believed in us along the way.

⸻

🎉 Join us for our 65th Anniversary Celebration!
📍 Sweeney Real Estate Office, Waukon
📅 Friday, September 12
⏰ 4:00–7:00 PM

Enjoy food, fun, and a walk through the decades — as we honor our past and toast to the future.
