Victoria Gazette - Hook Line & Sinker Column

Most of the time you just gotta get that hook right into the fish's mouth before you can get him into the boat. And so that's what I did last month. I put the fishhook right into the fish's mouth -- at the bottom of page 38 in the item about Victoria Elementary Lakers -- and, sure enough, plenty of you found it and got yourselves immersed in the minnow bucket in June.

When I dipped into the shallow waters and swirled around a bit, I pulled out Marlene Loose of Chaska. She had written, "I haven't had success locating the fishhook but I gave it another try and found it!" Congratulations, Marlene. The ten dollar prize will be on its way to you shortly.

I hid another fishhook in this issue of the Gazette. If you find it and wish to be included in this monthly drawing, email Sue@VictoriaGazette.com telling of its location or use P.O. Box 387, Victoria, MN 55386 and sinker in the mail. That's how you become part of the pool in the minnow bucket! That's how you become eligible to win the ten bucks -- which will purchase most any appetizer or glass of wine in any of the establishments in downtown Victoria. On Classic Car Nights it would purchase you two very delicious pork chops on a stick sold at a stand on the streets.
