About Heartland Home Rentals

Why This Site Was Created

The city of Sparta is excited to be the new home of the World Shooting Complex. Beginning in the summer of 2006, the World will host shooting competitions and other events year-round. The largest will be the Grand American amateur trapshooting competition from August 8-18, 2006. This event alone is expected to bring 10,000 to 15,000 visitors to Sparta during those ten days.

Many Sparta residents are offering their homes for rent to area visitors. Heartland was created to make renting a home easier. With Heartland, property owners have a place to list their properties for rent and visitors can browse property listings all in one place. As the need for this common rental marketplace continues to grow, Heartland is prepared to handle the volume and make renting as convenient as possible for both owners and renters.

About Heartland's Creator

Heartland Home Rentals and the Heartland website were created by Marcy Beck, who teaches high school business and computer science, and has also taught community college classes. She hopes that the site will be beneficial to Southwestern Illinois's residents and visitors, and that having the site will help the area to be well prepared to provide hospitality to the thousands of guests it will be receiving. One of the houses that will be listed on the Heartland site is her own.
