The community Winter Dinner Night Out event was enjoyed by many. A nursery was provided for the benefit of those attending who had children needing a babysitter. The evening took place in the recreation hall of the LDS Church building and the room was full with ten round tables, seating eight at each table. The theme for decorations, of course, was Winter. Those in charge for the dinner were members of the activity committee: Lacey Christensen, Kim Christensen and Clare Christensen, all separate families, a common surname in this area. The menu was Beef brisket with a barbeque sauce, baked potatoes, mixed vegetables, rolls. Dessert was a choice of chocolate presentations, provided potluck style by those attending. The warmth of mutual friends was felt throughout the night.
Laura Cheney and Cindy Hanson have returned from their cruise to the Bahamas and the Caribbean waters. When they left to enjoy this venture the local temperatures were fairly warm and on their return they found that winter had arrived in this corner of Idaho.
Mink Creek has had two of its youth participating in the winter sports of Preston High School. Hazen Baird, son of LaRon and Liesa Baird was on the wrestling squad until an injury made it impossible for him to be active. Elliot Keller, son of Jesse and Shawna Keller, played on the JV team in basketball.
Connie and Adam Westenskow and Emma spent an overnighter with her parents, Layne and Karen Erickson. The Westenskows live in Logan but this was an occasion of celebrating Connie's birthday at home in Mink Creek.
There is constant change. Is the mud season upon us? But it is only the first few days of March, which came wafting in as the proverbial 'lamb' weather-wise. Seed catalogs have arrived and some residents are even ready to do their indoor planting in preparation for a early spring with their gardens.
