This will be our <br />5th year attending. We drive for over 2 hours for all of the event's. Why? Because it gives is us <br />something to do as a family, that is memorable. We have made so many new friendship's, we also get to <br />see alot of our family member's that live around the area more often because they are also there <br />enjoying ERX and all it has to offer. <br />The event's that ERX puts on throughout the year are amazing and are very well put together. The <br />facility is top notch, the organization that is ran by the owner's, employee's and volunteers are truly <br />phenomenal. I have never seen a facility ran so smoothly and safely. My family and I also volunteer at <br />ERX. By being a volunteer you know you are doing something with all of your heart and soul, when all <br />the regular's you see yearly remember you from previous event's and are happy to see you just as much <br />as we are to see them. ERX has become family. Shutting it down would seriously be devastating and <br />heartbreaking for thousands of people that also feel the same way. <br />Not to mention the money brought in to local hotel's, restaurant's and local businesses. We have utilized <br />all of them in all of our trip's to Elk River. <br />I ask you to come to one of their events yourself and see and experience it for yourself. Then you will <br />see and feel the way we all do. ERX must stay open. <br />I stand with ERX and Carlson Motosports. <br />Thank you for your time. <br />Sincerely, <br />Carrie Anderson <br />Carrie Anderson <br />
