At least two concerned citizens attended the Elk Point City Council meeting on June 4 to inquire about the new development going into the empty field located between the Pointe Golf Course and Country Club Estates.

Timmi Johnson wanted the new subdivision plans to reflect the property she owns on the map better, as the original plan was outdated in that regard.

In the early hours of June 16, a destructive fire engulfed an Elk Point home in the 100 block of W. Jefferson St. The fire was reported shortly after 1 a.m., prompting a swift response from the local fire department. In a coordinated effort, Vermillion and North Sioux City Fire departments also rushed to the scene to lend their support.

Immanuel Lutheran Church and St. Paul Lutheran Church recently hosted an exciting event, the Scuba VBS, which took place from June 4 - 7. It was a huge success, with 29 participants, five teen helpers, and eight adult helpers involved, all led by Pastor Erik Olson. One adorable highlight of the event was the presence of an unofficial mascot, Buck the dog, who enthusiastically participated in the underwater theme by wearing a delightful shark costume throughout the week.
