Gerstad Builders isn’t just a collection of new McHenry, Williams Bay, Richmond and Poplar Grove homes, we’re a family. So, forgive us while we brag about one of our own.

Recently, we told you about Hailey Thomas, the daughter of Gerstad Builders employee Jennifer Thomas, and her participation in national trampoline events in West Virginia and New Orleans as a member of the Fox Valley Power Tumblers. Well, the National competition and Jr. Olympic events are finished for 2011 in Tumbling and Trampoline, and Hailey Thomas had an excellent outcome.

At Nationals, held in Charleston, Hailey triumphed and took home 3rd place for the Double Mini event and 5th place for the Trampoline event. Her travels then pushed onto New Orleans for the Jr. Olympic competition. Hailey once again was outstanding and walked away from the Jr. Olympics with a Bronze medal for Tumbling and two 4th place medals for Double Mini & Trampoline.

This young 12 year old athlete is mandated into advanced levels for future competitions and a proud member of Fox Valley Power Tumblers of Johnsburg Ill. CONGRATS HAILEY!

Does your child have an affinity for tumbling? We have two communities located near the Fox Valley Power Tumblers including Liberty Trails, a wonderful community of new McHenry County real estate, and The Trails of Pheasant Ridge, featuring beautiful Richmond new homes.

Plus, our new home incentives and affordable prices will make paying for tumbling class a little easier on the budget. Currently, we’re offering 10 percent off the base price of new homes purchased by Dec. 31, 2011.
