Thursday afternoon Lincoln welcomed another new
business to the heart of the city with a ribbon cut for USA Mortgage
located at 604 Broadway Street. The new business, owned by Tiffany
Winebrinner was celebrated with a good turnout of folks to stand
behind the ribbon with Winebrinner as well as several folks there to
witness the event.

Those who joined Winebrinner behind the ribbon
included her husband Brent, her parents Larry and Liz Barnes, Logan
County Clerk Theresa Moore, Lincoln Alderwoman Wanda Lee Rohlfs,
City Clerk Peggy Bateman, Mayor Tracy Welch, L.E.A.D. Director
Andrea Runge, Logan County Tourism Bureau Director Alice Roate, and
Logan County Fair Queen Caroline Ahrends. On hand representing USA
Mortgage corporate offices was Brittany Pflum and Jeremy Knox. Karen
Hargis and Nila Smith of Lincoln Daily News assisted with the ribbon
cutting.
It was also noted that there were downtown business owners there to
watch the ribbon cutting and welcome Winebrinner to the heart of the
city. Among those were Michelle Bauer of Country Financial and
Kathie Williams of Small Town Creations, and Seth Goodman and staff
members from ME Realty.
The event began with a reminder as to why the cutting was taking
place. Winebrinner has recently struck out on her own, partnering
with USA Mortgage to open a new office, the first for the company in
Lincoln.
Winebrinner was asked to say a few words. She noted that she wasn’t
all that great at addressing crowds, but did want to say thank you
to all those who had come for the cut. She is excited about her new
adventure which was something she didn’t see herself taking on until
the opportunity presented itself. She praised the folks she has
worked with at USA Mortgage saying that they have been very helpful
in getting her going and she looks forward to the future with the
company.
Jeremy Knox with the company also spoke saying that USA Mortgage was
delighted to be coming to Lincoln. They were excited about having
Tiffany as part of the USA team. He said that her transition to USA
had been quick and had gone well because she is perceptive and very
easy to work with. He wished her all the best moving forward.
It was noted that this ribbon cut represented what the community
wants to see, an investment by our younger people in their hometown
communities. Wanda Lee Rohlfs echoed that sentiment saying that it
is good to see younger generations take an interest in being a part
of the local business community.
Lincoln Mayor Tracy Welch was the last to speak saying that he was
quite proud of Winebrinner for taking the leap into her own business
and appreciated her investment in the downtown area for her offices.

With speeches concluded, Winebrinner and the group posed for the
traditional pre-cut photo then when prompted, she snipped the ribbon
on her new office.
The afternoon activities included an open house that was to run from
right after the 2 p.m. ribbon cutting until 4 p.m. Food and
beverages were offered inside and everyone was invited to come into
the office, enjoy a snack and get acquainted with Winebrinner and
USA Mortgage.
In addition to the food, guests had the chance to admire the
“Welcome to Lincoln” gifts from other businesses in town and pick up
some free swag courtesy of USA Mortgage.
