Strawberry Fest Logo Winner 
Tracy Detzler from Cottage Grove submitted the winning logo for the 2010 Strawberry Fest Committee and she will be the GRAND MARSHALL for the parade on June 19th, 2010. Congratulations, Tracy!
Tracy has lived in Cottage Grove with her husband, Elwin, for 18 years. They moved into their house a couple years after they were married and have been here ever since. Tracy and Elwin have three children, Ron (17), Brett (15), and Marea (13). The boys attend Park and Marea goes to Oltman. All three spent their younger years at Pine Hill Elementary. She has always loved Cottage Grove! From the first day they moved here, they have felt welcomed and ‘at home’. She says they have found themselves surrounded by a group of wonderful neighbors and they have made many great friends. "I cannot imagine living anywhere else".
Her days are spent working at home as a licensed daycare provider. For the last six years or so, she has been taking care of little ones. She loves being able to be home for her own children as well. Before she made the decision to start her own business, she worked in the laboratory at St. Joseph’s Hospital in St. Paul. She was there for eleven years and loved it.
Girl Scouts is something very dear to her heart and takes up quite a bit of her spare time. She has been a troop leader for many years and she serves on our local service team. She is also a scrapbooker, a stamper, and a fan of all arts and crafts. Tracy has always loved to design things, draw, and play with graphic programs on the computer… so when she heard that the Strawberry Fest Committee was looking for a logo idea, she thought she would give it a whirl. Tracy says “The Strawberry Fest is something our family always looks forward to. We have watched the parades, have cheered for friends in the royalty contests, and have had tons of fun at the various activities. It is always a great time for their family to get to know some new people, and reconnect with old friends." She is so glad she gets to do something to help promote the Festival this year!
