City of Elk River Partnership
Among the many events we sponsor and volunteer at each year, one of our favorites is the City of Elk River's Riverfront Concert series. On average, our employees volunteer more than 180 hours each summer during this event. They greet concertgoers while handing out water, raffle tickets, and fun giveaways. We also coordinate intermission prize packs and more! Watch the video to see our employees in action!
