“Getting a loan from Independence
Bank/Prairie Kraft for our new kabins in Estes Park was
as simple as 1-2-3. Pam faxed me the paperwork, I filled
it out and boom we were financed. The payment plan is
very simple also.”

“Being a new campground owner
with the KOA system, it was great to find a loan program
that offered flexibility of payment terms. The Go-With-The-Flow
program works awesome! The Bank is very Customer friendly
and the staff at Prairie Kraft helped facilitate the entire
process”

“I just completed making a payment
for the new “Go with the flow” loan program
instituted by Prairie Kraft with help from the Owners
Association and Independence Bank of Montana, and I thought
this would be a good time to give a little plug to this
program.
When Loren first spoke to this at our
March State meeting, it sounded too good. When we cornered
him after the meeting, he assured us that this was a very
flexible program and that it would work for almost any
campground.
After getting back to Fort Collins,
we contacted Carrie at Prairie Kraft and told her we wanted
$100,000 for each campground. She said fine, she would
send out the paper work. Well, fine, we expected the usual
financial goble–gook, but to our surprise, there
were two forms, one for each campground.
We signed a statement on Mile High
that said we would repay with a % of Kabin income, since
we ordered 4 Kabins, a Satellite Bath and a Kamper Kitchen.
For Wellington, we were to repay with $s per camper night,
since we used the money for concrete and a cable/phone
system.
We were still somewhat skeptical after
sending out the forms. A couple of weeks later however
we received a cashiers check with no other paperwork.
Pretty remarkable. The only thing easier would be not
to make payments. Loren says he will work on that!”

Dear Pam,
Just wanted to share with you our good
feelings about the new Development Bank program at Independence
Bank. As you know, we just completed a loan with the bank
for a substantial sum and I was very happy with the simplicity,
flexibility, and speed in getting this financing in place.
Chuck Celania and his assistant, Katie McIntosh-Valdez
made setting up this loan almost fun! They are easy to
talk to. The loan form is short and simple. They basically
just asked me how much, how long, and how do you want
to pay it back? I have to admit I was a little dumbfounded!
My local bank gave me about 10 pages of forms to fill
out and told me once they were all filled out they would
submit them to a committee in some other place for approval
and would let me know sometime. No thanks!
When Loren told me about this loan
program and how easy and flexible it was I have to admit
I was a little skeptical. Not anymore! It really is an
easy, painless process. What a great program and what
a great benefit to the KOA system. Give my thanks to Loren
and PKS for helping to get this loan system off and running.
Sincerely,
Mike Bell, President,
San Diego Metro KOA
