I just wanted to let you know that Springs Bargains is officially starting summer break now.
While I’m still keeping an eye on things and would love to post some great deals and events, there’s obviously not a lot going on right now – but in my head it doesn’t actually feel like a “break” unless I make it official! I may pop in your inbox from time to time if I find a handful of things to share.
Frankly, I have a hard time sharing deals for large chain restaurants and stores when I know that many locally-owned businesses, who care deeply about our community, are struggling financially and will not make it without our support. Though I know it’s not always possible, I would encourage you to choose locally-owned businesses this summer when you can. More of the money you spend stays local when you choose a local business and right now, I’d rather encourage you to support my fellow business owners who personally live, work, and play in our beautiful city.
While I am uncomfortable being controversial, I truly believe that if we don’t stand up for our freedoms right now, we will lose them permanently. We’ve been told that the quarantine was put in place to flatten the curve, but the curve has clearly been flattened and we are still subject to oppressive restrictions. If you agree, please take courage and stand for freedom and not fear.
We’re still selling houses and helping buyers, and yes, we’re still working on The Gannon House. The market is crazy in all sorts of ways right now, but our listings are still selling! (All 8 homes we’ve listed in 2020 are sold or under contract!) We’d love to have you consider hiring us if you’re looking to buy or sell this year – check out our real estate website or just reply to this email to get in touch.
Work on The Gannon House slowed, but we’re starting to ramp it back up again so I hope to start sharing more updates on Instagram. We’re committed to make it an amazing home (to sell) no matter how long it takes us!
I wish you and your family many happy memories this summer!
– Carrie

Welcome to Springs Bargains, a service of our real estate business, Circa Real Estate Group! I’m Carrie, and since 2008 I’ve been sharing free and discounted ways to eat, play, and enjoy life in Colorado Springs.
Carrie! Thank you so much for vocalizing the need to stand up for our freedoms and to NOT live in fear. Thank you for all your work on Springs Bargains. Looking forward to getting more updates from Springs Bargains after your break and when local deals are back!
I appreciate your support of your local businesses! I would encourage you, however, to use your time away to learn about actual oppression. Being asked to wear a mask in public and keep a social distance is hardly oppression, unless you are referring to some other restriction. White people in Colorado do not suffer oppression.
Carrie, that is beautiful what you said. I agree greatly and I so appreciate you being willing to speak up. Keep it up and God bless you!!
