Jimmie and AnnaBeth Olson's family
were very involved in the recent Wasatch Back Ragnar Relay Race,
beginning in Logan and finishing in Midway, UT. This covered a
distance of 200 miles, with one team member running, day and night,
for 24 hours. It takes teamwork and support from the whole gang to
accomplish this feat. Olson family team members were AnnaBeth, Peggy
Flinders, Dana Petersen, Mike and Anna Olson, Jerry and Christin
Olson, Jason Stucki and his son Garrett. They imported 3 others to
make up a team of twelve. Lydia Stucki and Jimmie were chief
supporters and cheerleaders.
Following her unexpected death,
family of Camille Knudson, wife of Jeff Knudson, gathered in Mink
Creek to honor their mother. She passed away in a recreational
vehicle accident on June 21st on the Bear River side of
our surrounding mountains.
The wedding of Mikel Beardall and
Rebecca Frandsen brought the family of Kent and Tammy Beardall all
back home. Michelle and Gary Wall and their children of Grand
Junction, CO, Shawn and Callie Beardall and four youngsters from
Spanish Fork, UT, Laura and Cameron Reeve and their girls of Logan,
Kyle Beardall and Heather Beardall both working in Logan and Nicole
and Ty Beardall here in Mink Creek. A reception and dance was held
at the Mink Creek Ballpark. The following day the couple was married
in Logan.
Brad and Raeone Stuart of Bountiful,
UT, come up frequently. One might call them residents not always in
residence. A daughter of Carl and Lenna Christensen, Raeone spent
her growing up years here, but they have businesses in Utah that need
their attention.
Even on these very hot days
motorcycles roar through our community going both directions, headed
to Utah or Bear Lake. Although it might be just a solo biker, groups
are often thirty or forty in number.
Rain, lovely rain, has come in the last
few days. The weatherman calls the storms thunder showers, but we might
feel they have been temperature breakers. The arrival has put some
energy back into the doing of daily tasks. Heat is such a drainer!
Our thanks to the State Highway crews
for mowing the hedge of weeds that borders the road as it passes
through our village. Residents, both human and wildlife, are grateful. The State now has a new project: replacing the
bridge as the road crosses the waters of Mink Creek and the highway
heads up Strawberry Canyon and into the Caribou National Forest.
