Victoria Gazette - Hook Line & Sinker Column

Did you get a chance to see all my online photos in Sue's Album, from the recent Victoria Ice Fishing Contest on Stieger Lake? The Victoria Firefighters always help make it a very good time. Maybe you noticed that Mike Wartman wasn't in the picture this year, having escaped to a warmer clime with his bride Jodene. As I write this paragraph, I still haven't heard from him. Hope he's home safe and sound.

When I dipped into the minnow bucket this month, I pulled out Sara Guidarelli of Victoria. Now that's a new name! Reminds me of Ghirardelli Chocolate. When we were in San Francisco a few years ago, we visited the place where that delicious chocolate was made. In any case, congratulations, Sara. Your $10 prize will be on its way to you shortly!

In the meantime, there's another fishhook hiding in this issue of the Gazette. If you find it and wish to be part of this little drawing, email Sue@VictoriaGazette or drop a line to P.O. Box 387, Victoria, MN 55386 telling of its location and sinker in the mail! And remember, life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're going to get.
