Minocqua Popcorn Company And A Trip Down Memory Lane

Once in awhile we get to play tourist and have some fun in downtown Minocqua. We stopped in at Minocqua Popcorn Company as someone in our family knows someone working at Minocqua Popcorn And here is our favorite Popcorn lady Michele on the right who is responsible for making our family addicted to cheese and carmel popcorn combo. There are always friendly folks working at the store and the best popcorn around They have also added a Jelly Belly line. We had to sample and try out a few varieties. There is now a beer flavored bean and Troy can attest to the fact that it does taste like beer They just added a new jelly bean game. You spin the dial to see what flavor you get to eat I am afraid to play....... but it would be entertaining Back at the resort Steve is hard at work at some Fish House improvements. It is slowly looking better It just takes some good whacks with the wrench Lets look back to yesteryear 1960 when the fish house was built Gasp, are those straight and new boards that Maynard used to built it? It must be, and the reason the fish house has lasted this long and is celebrating 55 years this summer. I think that calls for a party.... just not at the fish house please Back to fish house repair. See Steve for any changes you might want out there While looking for the fish house pics I ran into this fun one from 1958 launching the raft. Launching the raft has been an event every spring and little has changed. It still gathers the family together to see what could possibly go wrong Only change is now it just takes one person to do it and the rest on shore shouting out directions. Maynard Black in the red chair enjoying seeing the resort open and everyone having a good time Here are Craig and his brother Dave Black doing the same thing as Maynard 50 years later. They were in the first picture of the raft pushing it out into the water. Times change but they stay the same Want to join in on summer at the resort we have had a few cancellations the last couple of days for July. Give a call for details
