Gonvick American Legion honored

The Gonvick Legion was honored during the Blizzard Bonanza. That was part of the Oklee Firemen’s Annual fund raiser.

The Gonvick Legion was presented with a wooden plaque, made by Deer Park Creations, for their help in this event last year and also for cooking the walleye for the dinner. The Gonvick Legion has a monthly walleye dinner and has become experts at this job which was appreciated by the Firemen and the hungry folks attending the event that was held the night before the Super Bowl.

Tim Eggebraaten was the emcee and as usual did a great job. The Newlywed game was the game/entertainment asking for members of the audience to participate. Four brave couples volunteered for this event: Richard & Jamie Hendrickson, Kent & Patty Bergerson, Steve & Andrea Eskeli and Bill & Danielle Paradis. The questions were first asked of the women while the men were out of the room. For the second round the women left and the men answered the questions. 

Another presentation was made by the Gully Sportsman's Club to the Oklee Fire Department for their volunteer work as firemen coming over to the Gully area to help fight wildlife fires over the past few years. The club donated $500 which Chief Kent Bergerson accepted.
