Greetings Northlanders,
I hope you will have a relaxing and enjoyable Thanksgiving with loved ones. Amid the fun, food, and football, I also hope you’ll take an opportunity to reflect upon all you’re thankful for in your life. There’s plenty to show gratitude for, and for my part, I’m honored to have the opportunity to represent such a wonderful area of the state with thoughtful, engaged constituents and abundant natural resources and outdoor recreation opportunities.
On Friday, while some folks may be looking to get a start on holiday shopping, that day is also a good opportunity to get outside and enjoy our state because once again, admission to all state parks will be absolutely free. Many of them have special events planned, so check out the DNR’s event calendar to see what activities might interest you and your family.
Across the state, road conditions may be difficult this week, so be sure to take extra caution when driving, give yourself plenty of time and be sure to pack a winter survival kit just in case you get stuck. MnDOT has comprehensive interactive travel maps available so be sure to take a look at them before you head out on the road.
Please continue to contact me with your input and ideas, or if I can ever be of assistance. It’s an honor to represent you at the State Capitol.
From my family to yours, Happy Thanksgiving.
Sincerely,
Rob Ecklund
State Representative
