Last week was perfect weather for ice fishing in Bunyan Bay at 60 degrees below zero. Kanute Gunderson was using Bruce, his ox, to pull his sled with his supplies onto Bunyan Bay when the ice began cracking and Bruce fell through. Grandma Gunderson tried to help push Bruce out and was kicked in the teeth. Grandma was quoted as saying, ”I don’t blame Bruce. It was just an Oxccident. However, Kanute is another story.” Cards, flowers and beer can be sent to her home on Main Street.

Ole Iverson once again won the Annual Crappie Eating Contest at The Bunyan. Ole ate 19 half to one pound crappies averaging 9 to 10 inches long in 1 hour. He won a gift certificate for Dinner for 1 at The Bunyan (after he feels better), 5% off SELECT bait supplies at Kanute’s Bait Mart and a free bottle of Antacids compliments of Stordahl’s Pharmacy on Main St.
