With the excitement of Preston High's basketball team headed to Boise for the Idaho State 5A tournament a number of Mink Creek residents followed them for the three day challenge. This team has provided many hours of spectator fun this whole season. It was extra exciting when the team proved their prowess and became the State Champions for the 2025 year.
The community was part of the food drive of the Preston East Stake for supplies to be donated to the Preston Community Food Pantry. Some foods were brought to the meetinghouse, others were gathered door to door by the young men and all delivered to the food bank.
LaMar and Claudine McKague's family all gathered in Utah to attend the wedding and festivities of their son Ethan McKague and Caitlin Paulson, the daughter of Clint and Jamie Paulson. There are five McKague siblings and all were able to make the trip: three from southeastern Idaho and one from Vancouver, WA, where the McKagues resided prior to moving to Mink Creek. Ethan and Caitlin will make their home in Lehi, UT.
Eldon and Danita Wilcox have received another mission assignment for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This time they will be serving in Bluff, UT at another historic site. It is the area of the famous “Hole In the Rock” that was part of the early colonization of the church members to the southwest. The Wilcox are due to arrive in Bluff before the end of March and will soon be on their way. Several of their children and grandchildren have made recent visits in Mink Creek, aware of this next time of extended absence of their parents.
Some of the local wildlife are as confused about the spring/winter as are we humans. Migrating birds with their overhead view considering the landscape might think twice about dropping down into a land where the snowplows are busy into the wee hours of the mornings. They may want to have a break further south before resuming their flights.
