            To the editor: Thank you to the many visitors who braved the 
			less-than-friendly weather and came to Elkhart's Open Doors Weekend 
			June 10 and 11. Thank you to the Lincoln Daily News on the wonderful
			
			article showcasing our village and why everyone should visit and 
			hopefully choose to stay a lifetime! A special thank you to Town and 
			Country Bank, Illini Bank, and the numerous realtors who helped 
			promote Elkhart as a wonderful place to live.  
			To the WMAY radio personalities and Midwest Family Broadcasting 
			staff, thank you for helping to put us on the map with the "Our 
			Town" stop in Elkhart. A special thank-you to the sponsors of "Our 
			Town," including Elkhart Grain, ICG Viper Mine, Elkhart Hill 
			Estates, Prairie Pointe subdivision, Davis Truck Service, Elkhart 
			Historical Society and Logan County Tourism Bureau, and especially 
			Peggy Brown's Talk of the Town for hosting the two-day event.

              If you didn't make it to Elkhart June 10 and 11, the doors are 
			always open, and watch for more events we have planned throughout 
			the year. Our next event is June 17, when we will be hosting our 
			annual village garage sale day! 
			The Elkhart Open Doors Committee
