Elbow Lake Cottage Owners Association

Thank you to everyone who came out to the annual Hayride, Trunk-or-Treat, and Chili & Soup Cook-Off on October 10! Gorgeous fall weather brought out a wonderful crowd for hot dogs, chili and soup, cookies and desserts, the trunk-or-treat, the piñata, pumpkin painting, the 50/50 drawing, and hayrides to cap off the day.

A big thank-you to Sally Rouse and Tonya Patterson for chairing the event, and to everyone who cooked, decorated, set up, cleaned up, shopped, gathered donations, played music, and brought candy for the trunk-or-treat. A special thank-you to those who provided the tractor and hay wagon and drove the rides. Events like this only happen with help, and volunteers are always welcome: reach out at contact@elcoa.org.
