Our client spotlight article this quarter features Gary LaFine and his Midway Beach Resort and Campground on Lake Osakis , which he purchased about two years ago . With cabins , docks , and boat lifts ; along with campers , trailers , and some fifth wheels — many of them left parked on the property year-round — Gary has many insurance concerns to take care of ! As a new business owner , many of these concerns are totally new to him ! While preparing for his mid-May to end-of-September season , Gary had some time to meet with Nesbit Agencies in search of answers for those concerns .

With that in mind , we have also included an article in this issue describing the growth of a customer relationship between Gary LaFine and our agent Alisha Paradise . Not only will the article make it clear why Alisha is such a valuable voice at Nesbit Agencies but it will also make clear why businesses don ’ t always see the lowest insurance quote as the best one !

If you would like more information about Gary LaFine and his Midway Beach Resort and Campground , or about Alisha Paradise and how she can meet your insurance needs , we would love to hear from you . Please send inquiries or comments about these articles , or any others in this issue of Risk & Business Magazine , to info @ nesbitagencies . com . +

Thank you . Sincerely ,

Jay Nesbit , Operations NESBITAGENCIES . COM
