I have seen a few all grain clones of this beer... Does someone have any idea of where to start for an extract clone?

I want to brew it for my family who love the beer and can't get it where they live in Indiana....
 
I would be interested in this as well in an all grain form, I tried this last year around the holidays, it was good stuff.
 
Here is an All-grain version i have seen posted... Haven't tried it, but looks about right based on what i know about the beer!

Doesn't the label of this beer say it's brewed w/ cherries? Where is that in the recipe above?

Yes this is deff. missing the cherry addition to the beer. It looks like a version of their Naked Elf they release in small batches if you live near the Harrisburg area.
 
Just swap out the Pilsner malt with enough Extra Light DME to get the same gravity.
