If you live in Poplar Grove, please consider Kristi for your vote! I have had numerous conversations with her, and I feel she is truly all about supporting, building community, and has the town’s best interests at heart! She volunteers endlessly and is a true asset to our community!

:::ANNOUNCEMENT:::

Over the last 8 months we have all continued to witness the ongoing and unnecessary drama that has plagued our community from moving forward. It is that unnecessary drama and a few personal family reasons why I chose to resign as Village Trustee last February. It was all too clear that focusing on Village needs was not the priority. Although I do not regret the decision I made at the time, I will not sit on the sidelines while our community continues to struggles.

I have decided to run for the Village President of Poplar Grove.

I have been humbled by all the residents who have reached out to me asking, encouraging, and pleading with me to run for this position. I am grateful for your support.

At first when this was suggested to me, I was hesitant, because I wanted to ensure I was ready for the political mudslinging that would ensue and how that would affect myself and my family.

Since the end of May, I have re-engaged the community, and it has become clear the residents of Poplar Grove are looking for an advocate who is community centric, respectful and open to all ideas, questions and opinions brought forth. Someone who is an effective communicator ensuring positive, transparent, and relevant information is provided to the community on an on-going basis and an individual who has a balanced approach to addressing community issues and concerns. I believe I have demonstrated to be all those characteristics.

It is also clear to me the people are exhausted with the ongoing drama that has continued to hinder our community from moving forward in a positive manner. I believe I have shown I can conduct myself in a positive professional manner that will help rebuild trust among our residents, the incoming board, the village staff and our vendors.

Going forward, we have choice. We can continue to let past ideas, past conflicts, and past poor behaviors continue to plague our town or we can make a change.

I believe in putting community first!

I am ready to lead Poplar Grove to a more positive future. One that focuses on the needs and desires of its residents, businesses, and non-profit organizations. One that wants to see our children, families, friends, and businesses thrive, truly making this a great place to call home.

With your support and your vote on April 1st 2025…WE CAN DO THIS!

I can’t get over these pictures. I had been anxiously awaiting Kelsey & Austin’s wedding for what seemed like forever! My favorite color palette is any combo of bold colors, and Kelsey was not scared to infuse every detail with all the best colors! She knew what she wanted her day to look like, and we kicked it up to the next level!

This was no easy task, and I am forever grateful to the six freelancers who helped bring all the pieces to life!

Hidden Creek Estates is such a beautiful venue- a great place to host your wedding or next event, and to also grab a bite and a beverage during their wine bar nights!

EK Cakery NEVER disappoints with her cakes and sweets! Her stunning bespoke artistry is only rivaled by her expertly paired flavor combinations. Erica, the owner, is just as sweet as her treats, and is a pleasure to work with!

And last but not least, Erik Anderson-Photography 1000000% nailed it! I can’t stop looking at these photos. Breathtaking, stunning, jaw dropping… I could go on, and that doesn’t even begin to do his work justice! I’m a HUGE fan of the light and airy aesthetic, and this was the first time he captured a wedding we have done. I hope it won’t be the last time! He had excellent time management and control over getting the shots taken, and was a pleasure to speak with during the down time along with the videographer and EK Cakery!

So incredibly sad. I'm so glad there are so many people and organizations who were willing to help! It took one person (or a small handful of people) to do such an atrocious thing, and it took so, so many more to try to turn this around. I'm proud to be in a community full of such love.

Prayers for all the pups- I hope they all come through ok and find the loving homes they deserve.
