It looks like you had good responses on some people close by, but if it doesn't work out look into joining a local mom's group. I think there is an Elk River mom's group. I belong to At Home Moms Network of Monticello and love it. You can go to as much or as little stuff as you'd like. I have 2 boys so I can't help you out.... I wish I had a little girl. Maybe the 3rd time will be the charm. :) Good luck with finding playdates!
