WHAT A JOURNEY!
To all who attended the sixth annual BKRT in Ellsworth and Lincoln counties + community of Lucas, thank you. You made a lot of magic happen and you did it with fun and by being yourselves.
WE'D LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU

Would you be willing to share your cell phone photos so that Ellsworth and Lincoln counties + Lucas might use them for future promotion, for relocation guides, for tourism, and social media? They would be glad to give you photo credit. Send photos by June 1 to this Google Drive link.
