Board of Directors

Penny Gellatly

President

Escape by Travel

I'm Penny, the owner of Escape by Travel in Cloquet. I have been working in the travel industry since 2013. When I'm not in my office working, you may find me with boots on the ground touring resorts, scouting out new destinations so I can experience them firsthand. This only allows my knowledge to better service you when planning a trip. I feel that my experience can bring you comfort when planning & exploring that destination. Education is the key to success.

Just some fun vacation planning I can help you with are:

River & Ocean Cruising
European or U.K. Trips
African Safari Tours
Romance Travel (Destination Weddings, Honeymoons, Elopements & Anniversary)
Escorted Tours - Self Drive tours - Private Chauffeur tours
Group Travel (big or small)

I've been with the Moose Lake Chamber since 2013. I've served as a board member for several years & now I'm taking on the role of VP. I look forward to learning more about your business and what you are looking for from a chamber perspective.
Did you know? Escape by Travel donates a portion of our commission back to the Moose Lake Chamber for anyone that books a trip with us. Just tell us you are a Chamber member or an employee of a business that is a Chamber member.

Just a bit about Penny outside of work. I have been married for 22 years, 4 kids & 13 grandchildren. I love the blue waters & scuba diving. I've gone diving with sharks on both Caribbean & Pacific Ocean waters. I love historical drama shows such as Outlander, The Crown, Vikings & so on. I guess that all ties in with my love for traveling to the U.K. & Europe.

Shawn Adams

Past President

Kettle River Snowmobile Club

Shawn has been on the Chamber Board for four years and has lived in the area for more than 10 years. He has frequented many local businesses but not had the opportunity to get to know the management/ownership and the chamber has proved to provide him some of those opportunities.

Shawn works at North Shore Credit Union. He is also part of the Kettle River Snowmobile Club.

When not at work Shawn enjoys his 110 acres along with his variety of animals on his hobby farm. It’s a busy lifestyle for sure – keeping up with trails, fences, fields, woods and of course all the animals that keep him plenty busy.

Connie Peterson

Treasurer

First National Bank of Moose Lake

Connie has been working at First National Bank of Moose Lake since 2017 in human resources and was recently promoted to Chief Administrative Officer in the fall of 2025. Connie has been the Treasurer for the City of Denham for 15+ years, and serves on the Willow River Area School Board, currently in her third term. Connie enjoys the connections she’s had the opportunity to make while holding these various positions, and volunteers for many local events to support our communities.

In her down time, Connie enjoys spending time with her amazing family, gardening, nature and farm photography, and catching a good sunrise or sunset-especially by the water or over a field.

Connie took on the Treasurer role in 2025 and while new to the Chamber, she is very familiar with the Moose Lake Community and surrounding areas and is looking forward to being more involved in promoting and supporting our local businesses!
