Bright sun, blue skies of Ground Hog Day in Mink Creek --- lifting to the spirits, but if the adage rings true about the varmint seeing his shadow we have more winter challenges ahead for some weeks. Thus far, nearly two weeks later, winter is still upon us, even when it is bright and sunny, the cold temperatures are gripping. No complaints being heard from those who frequent our canyons for snowmobiling.
There were some concerns about a misplaced snowmobile rider in the Birch Creek area recently. A command post was set up in the Birch Creek parking lot and it took some time, but the results were good. Gratitude is expressed for our County Law Enforcement and Search and Rescue organization and anyone else who assisted.
Timber Blake Christensen, the son of Kerry and Lacey Christensen, became the newest member of the Mink Creek Ward of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints when he was baptized and confirmed a member of the church the morning of February 4th at the Preston North Stake Center in Preston. He had lots of support from family and friends. Both sets of grandparents were able to be there. Beverly and Doug Bruderer live in Mink Creek. Timber’s fraternal grands, Forrest and Patti Christensen, came all the way from their home in Florida to celebrate this event.
Chris Egley participated in the Weber State Honor Band in Ogden, UT, recently. This is only his second year as a percussionist with the Preston High School Band and Chris has found that he and drums are a perfect match. His family, that of Jared and Juli Egley, were able to go down to Utah and offer support for Chris and enjoy a whole weekend of fun activities.
We still have at least one active cougar out and about in our village. There has been some tracking done and they cover a large area. There is no question as to whether or not the coyotes are active, they have choir practice frequently.
