News: Ely Summer Times 2012

The summer season has arrived in northern Minnesota and so has the 2012 edition of the Ely Summer Times.  One of my Kawishiwi Falls photographs was chosen for the cover image this year!

After rain for two days and rain in the forecast for the foreseeable future, perhaps featuring water as the cover image is appropriate.  The substantial rainfall is certainly appreciated after a dry winter and spring and all too vivid memories of the last week's fire adjacent to the city of Ely and last summer's raging Pagami Creek fire that burned over 90,000 acres.  Last week the ground was incredibly dry; now the short-cut grass is swimming in expanding puddles.  Splish, splash!




Both the Winter and Summer Times have useful information (events and directories of local businesses and services) for Ely residents and visitors, along with interesting and informative articles of local flavor.  Produced by Raven Productions and supported with advertising from local businesses, the Ely Summer Times is available in Ely, MN at stores all around town.  You may also purchase a subscription and have it delivered to you.  Visit the About and Subscription links at Ravenwords.com.

This Friday and Saturday are the last two days to catch the Open Water Exhibit at the Lyric Center for the Arts in Virginia.  Stop by if you can!  More info in this previous News post.
