VOLUME 07, ISSUE 01

Welcome to the seventh year of Elk River Living magazine! It’s both an honor and a privilege to celebrate the incredible businesses, people, and events that make Elk River such a special place. In this edition, we’re excited to spotlight the new owner of a former Elk River business. Tim Hogan’s Design Gallery, a trusted name in quality flooring and home design, has expanded with the acquisition and renaming of Smith’s Carpet One. Continuing the theme of family-owned businesses, we’re also highlighting another cornerstone of Elk River’s entrepreneurial spirit, Eden's Body Works. Enjoy!
