This male cardinal is protected by the boughs of the spruce tree during the Christmas season.

Cathie Dyer and Del Scheirer are shown here after Scheirer bought the IGA grocery store from Any Bowser. The new store opened on January 1 as Minonk Foods with Kathy as the manager of the store.

This is the sorry condition of the only state championship trophy won by a Minonk team. The 1985 Minonk Grade School basketball team won top honors that year. The trophy will be repaired and a suitable home for its display will be sought.
