Welcoming and real

I love how personable these conversations are; I’m learning more about local Elyites that I want to meet, or friends I already know! I have also gotten more involved in Ely events from hearing about them here, and having links in the show notes to connect. I’ve shared this podcast with friends to give a taste of how awesome Ely is. I really like the variety of guests too. Thank you!

Perfectly captures “our special little town”

We moved to Ely eight years ago—best! move! ever! And to hear Lacey, whom I know in person, host this podcast produced by Brett, whom I also know personally, is so fun! I love hearing her friendly chats with Ely folks—learning so much more about them and about Ely events and opportunities—is just so delightful! I feel like I am in the room with them, and it’s such a pleasure! If you want to get to know Ely better—as a local or from a distance—listen to this podcast!!! Lacey and Brett do an expert job with this podcast! Thank you!!!

Love It

Ely has become my gateway to my summer canoe trips. I always enjoy my drive through town when I first arrive. The last few years I spend a couple extra days in town. Listening to this Podcast reminds me why I enjoy this community.
