Edina Realty, Heitz-Gardner in Big Lake, held a ribbon cutting ceremony Tuesday afternoon on a mild, sunny day. 

Several guests were invited including the realtors and their families as well as members of the Becker and Big Lake Chambers. Alec Robbins — the local formula drift race car driver (son-in-law to Stacey Stanley of Heitz-Gardner), was also on hand with his race car to pose for pictures and sign autographs. The public was welcome as well.

Edina Realty held the event out back of their building at 690 Humboldt Drive, NW (next to McPete’s) where they celebrated their office grand opening.

Chow Town BBQ furnished the food and drink where pulled pork sandwiches were featured along with cole slaw and yummy desserts.

MoeDell entertained the masses with soulful music during the event and a Big Lake Ambassador was on hand to provide facepainting for all the kiddos. MoeDell was nominated in 2020 for ‘Songwriter of the Year’ and ‘Americana Artist of the Year’ for the Midwest Country Music Association Awards.

Realtors Jennifer Baysinger, Stacey Stanley and Angie Gardner were on hand and they announced winners of several giveaways during the three-hour event.
