"The distance between your dreams

and reality is called action." 


– Pinterest 

In the words of my 14-year-old, yesterday was, "Epic"! From start to finish I traveled all over the Elkhorn area with the fabulous, Ben Jones. I watched Ben capture several aspects of what we all love about our quintessential small town. It did not hurt that the weather was perfect and the blue skies offered a gorgeous backdrop to every place we visited.


A huge thank you to Evergreen Golf Club, Friends on the Square, Level 9, Honestly Divine Creations, Apple Barn Orchard & Winery and Duesterbeck's Brewing and our beautiful park district for hosting photo locations. An even bigger thank you to the handsome couple, Greg and Julia Ingersoll, and their pup, Sully, for walking the streets of Elkhorn to highlight our fabulous downtown district. And we had the cutest clan join us for apple picking. Thank you to the O'Neill Family for eating so many apples and sharing your brightest smiles!


I have worked at the chamber for over six years and this is a dream fulfilled. It goes without saying that partnering with talent like Ben and our videographer, Shawn Slawson, is a game changer for the marketing efforts that highlight how amazing the Elkhorn area truly is.


Talent shows up in all shapes and sizes too! During the week of the Walworth County Fair we had our second Shrpa Creator Visit! I cannot tell you how adorable the Sironi Family is and how amazing their photos and videos are that aid in telling the story of Elkhorn, WI. Scroll through Sipping and Shopping Around the Square and you'll see exactly what I mean!


Stay tuned for more sneak peeks as we launch into the fall season!
