MISSING: GNOME

Have you seen my gnome? His name is Lars. He's about 3.5 inches tall, weighs 1-2 ounces, is bearded though he has a youthful smile, and he carries a spade at all times. He's a bit more worn around the edges now than he was when we first met at Target last spring.

Here's a picture of Lars at the RUF Summer Conference Dance Party in Panama City Beach. He knows how to have a good time.

Lars has a great sense of humor, and is particularly fond of trying new foods. He especially loves the food at Summer Conference... and Bubble Tea... and Sushi. He also loves to read and go to plays and musicals.

This was the night he met a gnome friend Ichabod from Oklahoma. That same evening as the dance party, Ichabod was kidnapped by extremists from Texas... Ichabod was recovered a few days later, but only after being badly broken by the extremists. I'm beginning to fear that Lars has met the same fate.

If you see Lars, please let me know. Please.
