Taste our Place Updates + New Collateral
We're pleased to announce sidewalk clings are on the way to all active Taste our Place members! The new sidewalk stickers from Concrete Floor Graphics will stick well to flat or slightly textured surfaces like asphalt, concrete, concrete pillars and walls, and can accommodate pedestrian traffic for three to six months.
We'll be shipping these soon, so if you're a Taste our Place member, keep your eyes trained on your mailbox.

Member Feature: Girl Ran Away With the Spoon
Erin Thormodsgard is a born and raised Miles Citian. She is married to Dan Thormodsgard and they have two sons, Quinn and Luke. She acquired her BFA in Graphic Design from MSU Bozeman and moved back to Miles City after graduation. She owns and operates Girl Ran Away With the Spoon and Spoon Full. Her passions lie in reconstructing old things and breathing new life into them. The basis of Girl Ran Away With the Spoon is hand crafted jewelry made from up-cycled flatware and has recently branched out into large-scale assemblage metal sculpture.
"I am always gathering, collecting, and acquiring objects," she said. "I enjoy the challenge of pushing the boundaries of everyday mundane objects and taking them for their shape, their texture, and their color rather than their function. Taking these seemingly ordinary objects and composing them into something completely new brings an immense amount of satisfaction and I am often surprised by the end result. They seem to orchestrate themselves. I thrive on the challenge of pushing my welding and fabricating skills as these sculptures and art pieces come to life."
