ELFF will be held on just one day this year in The Dalles - Tuesday, Dec. 5 between 5 p.m. and 9 p.m. Instead of firefighters going from neighborhood to neighborhood, participants are asked to drop off their food items at Fire Station 1 at 1400 W. 8th Street, The Dalles, and enjoy some holiday cheer. 

Spreading holiday cheer is top of mind for Cheri Michaelson and Miki Caldwell of the "Elfing Elks," a group of ladies, members, spouses, and community members supporting the Mt. Adams Elks Lodge #1868 in White Salmon.
