Jason Davis was "On the Road" in Dawson to learn about the Legend of Gnometown. He talked with several of our Gnomes including Joe Givens, Dr. Phil and Jean Maus, Eloise Ronning, Del Thielke and gnome wife, Pat Michaelson. He also found time to visit Sharilyn Bates, Loren Femrite, Ruth Solem and Alta Roesch to hear about their contributions to our Gnometown traditions. The story is available to watch online at KSTP.com. Click here to view photos from Jason's visit in Gnometown.
