A Milestone Worth Celebrating
On Sunday, September 14, 2025, the Harmoning Agency reached a milestone that few small businesses achieve, 25 years in business. Joel and the team were thrilled to celebrate the occasion alongside their loyal customers, many of whom have been with the agency since its early days. The anniversary open house was a wonderful mix of gratitude, community, and celebration.
Community Support on Display
Between 50 and 75 customers stopped by throughout the day to join the festivities. Guests were greeted with a warm welcome, plenty of giveaways, and the chance to win some fantastic door prizes. A variety of Carhartt lunch boxes, backpacks, and even a home safety basket were raffled off to lucky winners. Every customer who attended also went home with a gift from the agency, including Harmoning Agency t-shirts, pizza cutters, and window breakers, practical tokens of appreciation that spoke to Joel’s dedication to both customer care and everyday usefulness.
Sweet Treats and Good Conversations
Of course, no celebration would be complete without good food. Linda baked a batch of homemade cookies that quickly became a hit among guests, while the friendly atmosphere encouraged conversation and connection. Customers shared stories, reminisced about years gone by, and celebrated not only the agency’s longevity but also the relationships that have grown stronger with time.
A Heartfelt Thank You from Joel
For Joel, one of the best parts of the day was getting the chance to personally thank so many people who have supported the agency over the years. As he put it,
“Thank you to all our customers. We couldn’t have done it without you! There’s been so many people who have supported us and put their trust in us all these years. Thank you to all the people who have trusted us all these years.”
His words carried the heartfelt sincerity of someone who knows the value of community trust and loyalty.
Honoring Long-Time Customers
The event also carried a special moment of reflection when Dennis and Donna Hanlon stopped by. The Hanlons have been with the Harmoning Agency since December 2, 2000—nearly 25 years themselves. It was a powerful reminder of the long-lasting relationships that make the work so meaningful. Seeing them together with Joel and Linda, sharing memories and laughter, perfectly captured the spirit of the celebration.
Looking Ahead
Looking back on the past 25 years, the Harmoning Agency is grateful not just for business success, but for the friendships, trust, and shared stories that have made the journey worthwhile. Joel and the team are looking forward to many more years of serving their community, always guided by the same commitment to honesty, service, and care that has carried them this far.
