Real estate office adds new agents
Three new agents are working full-time for Brown County Real Estate.
Managing Broker Danny Key has hired Erin Engelking, Jackie Craven and Kelli Oleksiak. All are licensed to sell commercial as well as residential properties, but these three will primarily specialize in home and land sales, Key said.
Key has been in business since 1997; he opened Brown County Real Estate in 2014.
This year, the business has sold more than $4 million in real estate and is poised to sell more before year’s end, Key said. “I’ve had a spectacular year here,” he said.

Fitness studio moves back downtown
Less than a year after she started in the Launch Brown County space over PNC Bank, certified personal trainer Erica Weddle has moved into her own space off Jefferson Street.
In June, Weddle had moved from the Launch space to the Brown County Inn. She wanted to find something downtown, but couldn’t find a space that was cost-effective.
The new space at 175 S. Jefferson St., behind NBC Nails, is “cozy,” said Lindsey Huesman, one of Weddle’s clients. “It’s comfy. I like it.”
Up to eight people can fit into the space to work out at a time. Weddle said she rarely has had classes larger than that anyway. But even if she has increased interest, now that she has her own space, she could simply add more classes.
“I just unlock the door and here I am,” she said. “I don’t have to roll up mats and move them to a different room.”
Weddle continues to work with clients on the Salt Creek Trail as weather permits, she said. There is a small patio at the new location that could allow classes to happen outside as well.
Christy McGinley said she likes Weddle’s classes because it’s more enjoyable than going to the gym and dealing with machines.
“It’s just your body and some hand weights and that’s it,” McGinley said. “I probably wouldn’t be doing anything at all if it weren’t for her.”
When she started working with Weddle, McGinley was dependent on a chiropractor to manage hip pain. After taking yoga for the past year, she has “pretty much no pain,” she said.
Yoga also seems less strenuous than other exercise, Huesman said. “It doesn’t seem like, ‘Oh, I’ve got to go work out.'”
Most of the time, it feels more like looking forward to a night out with friends than getting ready to go do exercise, she said. There is also no sense of being watched and judged by strangers as there can be at a gym, she said.
Weddle is also offering free classes twice a week to county employees who work at the County Office Building, through the first or second week of January.
Weddle can be reached at 812-343-3560 or [email protected].
