“
Every year on Independence Day, something beautiful happens in Ely. The air crackles with an electricity that is hard to describe, but you know it when it happens. It’s a homecoming. A yearly All Class Reunion of sorts. Locals and visitors. Neighbors and strangers.
All walks of life, celebrating our nation’s independence. An incredible experiment as a democratic republic.” - CHRIS ELLERBROEK
