are incredible at what they do,
but more than that, they’re
like family. I look forward to
continuing to work alongside
them as we support each other
as we always have. This gives
me more time for what I re-
ally like to do- working with
my team selling houses. ”
Following her 10-year
career with HUFF Realty, Ms.
Harves is prepared to continue
t o move the company forward
in Indiana.
“As HUFF continues to
grow in Lawrenceburg, we
want our community to know
and trust that they can expect
our same core values and
customer-centered approach,”
said Ms. Harves. “It’s our
neighbors here that have
helped us get to where we are
today. We know we couldn’t
have done it without them,
and because of their loyalty,
we’re here to stay in Law-
renceburg.”
Local Artist
Illustrates Kids’
Adventure Guide
Hannah Lohrum illustrated
“The Great Adventure” guide
that each Kid$aver will
receive at this year’s Kid$ave
events held throughout April
at Friendship State Bank. Ms.
Lohrum grew up in Milan and
is a former Friendship State
Bank Kid$aver.
Hannah Lohrum created
the cover of “The Great
Adventure” with colored
pencils.
Ms. Lohrum recently gradu-
ated with an art degree and has
enjoyed creating for as long as
she can remember. In junior
high, she began diving into
her projects and entering her
pieces into contests. She was
encouraged by her success.
One of those contests was
a Kid$ave calendar photogra-
phy contest.
“I remember entering the
photo contest using a teeny,
tiny digital camera. When my
mom told me I won the grand
prize, I asked her what that
meant,” Hannah remembered.
“She told me I won a camera,
and I was so excited. That
camera helped me further
my practice and photography
skills. It was a lot of fun, and I
still have that camera.”
Ms. Lohrum hopes to be-
come a nature photographer
for National Geographic.
“I love nature photography,
especially macro photogra-
phy and its focus on detail,”
Hannah said. “To travel and
explore would be a dream.”
Ms. Lohrum’s attention to
detail can also be found in
her illustrations. She finds
drawing to be a good form of
therapy that creates a sense of
inner calm and peace. “The
Great Adventure” guide cover
is full of detail and was cre-
ated with colored pencil.
“I really enjoyed creating
the cover. I got to put a lot of
detail into it,” Hannah shared.
“It is really my style with lots
of detail and color. It was like
putting together a puzzle.”
Some of Ms. Lohrum’s
favorite things are scattered
throughout the adventure
guide, including a softball
bat, her dog, dream car, and
favorite childhood toys.
Ms. Lohrum shared how
Kid$ave taught her how to
have fun with savings as well
as be a smart saver. She rarely
splurges on items for herself,
but when she does, she has
a lot of fun. She also won’t
deny a love for shoes and was
recently able to save for a
special, custom pair of shoes
that she designed herself.
Ms. Lohrum’s advice to
current kid$avers is to con-
sider a few questions before
spending.
“Be smart with money.
Don’t spend your money as
soon as you get it,” she said.
“Weigh your options when
buying something, whether it
is something you have wanted
for a long time or something
that just popped into your
head. Is it a want or a need? “
