Ebenezer’s on his way here
Guess who’s coming to Elk River this holiday season? (And HE’s not happy about it.)
Welcome to Elk River, Minnesota, home of the Elks, a dozen lakes and one crotchety old miser named Ebenezer Scrooge.
Ebenezer Scrooge is the proprietor of Scrooge and Marley Property Management Ltd. in Elk River.
Scrooge is the proprietor of Scrooge & Marley Property Management Ltd. in downtown Elk River. When he’s not counting his properties or evicting delinquent renters, Scrooge scowls and rants at his good-hearted clerk, Bob Cratchit.
But on the best of all days of the year, Christmas Eve, Scrooge is given a chance to redeem his misspent life when he’s visited by three spirits. The Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present (Jolly Old St. Nick) and Yet To Come take him on a midnight journey, in hopes of thawing his chilly heart with the warmth of human kindness — before it’s too late.
