It sure seems like the Elk River is not in Elk River. We have the mighty Mississippi instead. I know the Elk River is a tributary of the Mississippi, but that doesn't really explain where it is! It certainly isn't downtown. Here is a view of the river as it runs past downtown Elk River.
If I stay in the same spot and turn around, This is what I see - a mural of the river. We seem to be surrounded by water. So which one is the Elk River??
We also have elk living in our town. Here is one of our most prominent citizens. In fact, this elk lives pretty close to Jamie Kalvestran, who is the featured designer today in the Minnesota Designer Blog Hop. Jamie has a background in product design and she brings this experience to her fabric and pattern designs. Stop over to Scrapbags - Jamie is "dying" to share a technique with you today! Remember to leave her a comment so that you are eligible for one of the grand prizes.
Your tutorial was very interesting! Your talent is unbelievable.Thanks!

It seems to me we visited Elk River a long time ago - when the kids were small. I believed we liked it there. Thank you for joining in this blog hop. I have thouroughly enjoyed it.

Thanks for filling us in on the Elk River. What a lucky town have two such talented women running businesses there! But I missed not seeing a picture of food today!!!

Here I am in not yet daytime Honolulu appreciating pictures of Elk River! My dad was born and raised there. While he moved away, most of his 5 siblings stayed in the area. His sister-in-law Alverta Malmstrom drove the school bus AND cooked in the school cafeteria. My cousin Wally coached the M Zephyrs until retiring. Another cousin's grand daughter was the 500th heart transplant recipient at UM. Yet - I have never been there! Thanks for the tour. Aloha, Jo
