#TBT to Some Vintage '86 Larson

#TBT to this vintage '86 Larson merlot I found in the old wine cellar. Delicious!

It had some nutty hints of pomegranate pistachio, along with a pleasantly surprising back-tingle of lemon zest.

I should be a sommelier...

#TBT to King Ricky the Merciful!

This #TBT Throwback Thursday goes back to 1951, during the reign of King Ricky the Merciful.

Elk River, Minnesota--the Larson family's home town--was holding a contest to crown the king or queen baby of the area.

All over town, the local merchants posted pictures of babies in their shop windows--so many babies you would've there was a town-wide missing baby epidemic.

Once they'd surveyed the pictures, people then stuffed the ballot boxes inside the shops to vote for the best baby.

Of course Ricky Larson, barely one year old, put his hat into the ring with this classic picture.

And who could resist that toothless smile? Those jean coveralls? He even had his hands out front in ready position, like he was about to go work on the family farm.

"It was a great photo," Rick says now. "Really compelling."

The town of Elk River apparently agreed, as Ricky Larson won the "Stuff the Ballot Box" contest. ("That was kind of an ass-kicking," he says.)

He was awarded a little four-inch trophy (long since lost to the ages) that declared him King Ricky of Elk River.

So the next time you have Rick teaching your class, don't forget to call him by his true name: King Ricky.

A Secret From Our Archives--LarsonEd

We're letting you in on a little bundle of secrets from the LarsonEd archives.

These are some of the logos we decided against when we first opened the school.

Because we're a family business started by two sons and a father, we wanted a logo that reflected our familial roots.

So we asked for logos that emphasized the "son" in Larson.

None of them felt right (although I do kinda like the red one with the little palm tree covering the S). Then we came across our current logo with the swooshing S, subtly emphasizing the "son," just as we wanted.

And that's how we came to have our current logo.
