Having grown up in Elk River, gone through the K-12 school system, and now raising my own <br />family in this community, ERX is exactly what was missing when I was younger. I'm so grateful to have <br />ERX and the variety of outdoor -focused events that they host be so conveniently located. The many <br />events we have attended there have always been family friendly, respectful, patriotic, and entertaining. <br />The consistent community of people that attend these events are equally cordial and steward this <br />amazing resource with the respect it deserves. The charity and fundraising opportunities that they host <br />go way beyond what we have experienced before locally. <br />Upon hearing that there could be limitations or cancellations of certain events that could ultimately lead <br />to us losing such a coveted event location, I was deeply troubled and disappointed that some members <br />of our community would even consider taking such a senseless step back in the growth of our area. <br />I support ERX, Carlson Motorsports, and all of their kind/generous staff that allow these events to take <br />place. I hope we never lose what is hands down the most beneficial, and positively impactful addition to <br />our community in the last 15 years. <br />Best regards, <br />Kevin Skalicky <br />
