That there be publicity about the Large-Elvdal, is an effect of it all that Hoffstad certainly not saying no thank you to.

- Before the moose was set up knew no where Stor-Elvdal was, " says the mayor.

we have been a part of the greater Oslo now, ask the mayor, ironically. He chooses, nevertheless, to rise above it.

- no Matter our moose shine finest in the future also, " says mayor Bob Hoffstad.

he's probably right: While Large-Elvdals moose is shiny silver, is Mac the Moose matte brown color.
