It is that time of year when aspiring pedal bikers are practicing for the upcoming LOTOJA race that takes place annually in the fall. A portion of the race takes place on East Highway 36 as it climbs the canyon here in Mink Creek and drops into Montpelier. Even these hot afternoons do not discourage these athletes as they pedal their way through Mink Creek.
Rodeo weekend is another “come home” event. Dean and Michelle Wilde and family were down from Pocatello. Daughters of John and Edith Olsen came up from their various homes in Utah, so glad they still consider Mink Creek 'home.' Peggy and Jon Flinders and children of Rigby, and Dana and Charles Peterson's family of Meridian were spending this time with their parents, Jimmie and Anna Beth Olson.
Elder Erik-Niklas Danfors is home with his parents, Per and Cassie Danfors, after spending two years of missionary service in Tanzania, Africa. The Danfors family have moved to Mink Creek while Erik has been gone so he is becoming acquainted with new territory even on his return.
The infant son of Walter and Jillian Iverson was given his name and a blessing while the Iverson family gathered at the home of grandparents, Kurt and Margret Iverson. The baby was named Wells Walter Iverson. All of the Iverson siblings shared this day: Johnny and Gabby Iverson and children from Texas, Andrew and Annalise Iverson and Charles and Taylor Iverson of Provo, UT, Alexis and David Strong and children now of Colorado, plus Conner, now a senior at PHS. Great grandparents, Johnny and Jeannine Iverson were excited for the joy of this day.
Our community has had some dog problems lately. Some canine, or canines , on the loose during night hours, have gotten into a couple of flocks of chickens and killed them all. Hopefully the culprit(s) will soon be located and taken care of.
