A fun time was had by all at the Junior Wiggy on January 21st. We were fortunate enough to be able to celebrate Uncle Phil Clough’s 90th Birthday! Now that’s something to Brix-Brax about! Colorado is the place to be for a “taste of Winona”, at Winona’s Restaurant in Steamboat Springs. Hannah Saujet, mother of Felix and Theo, sent along this photo during a recent trip. It reminded them of good times in Maine! Felix and Theo Saujet Our new camper (but not new to Winona, due to many seasons as a Family Camper), Frank Sherlock, had Winona on his mind when he made this great, Pinebox Derby car with his Boy Scout troop recently. Mom reports that he placed 15th out of 25 overall. Great job for a first time racer! A Winona gathering of a different kind...the tailgating kind! Winona families attended a Patriots game at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, MA this fall. LtoR: Gus Kolva, Jeff Kolva, Ned Kolva, Clay Miles, Henry Pomeroy, Cort Pomeroy, Garret Kearns, Jeff “Uncle Bubba” Dropkin, Andy Kearns, Ellery Kearns(WYO), Nina McDonald, Kevin McDonald, Derrick McDonald, Bruce McDonald, Brooke McDonald(WYO) More NEWS FROM HERE AND Winona 20?? Here are a couple of potential Winona campers in deep discussion about how to best put up a platform tent or how to catch the BAT. This would seem unusual, but not if one of your parents is Winona’s Director of Maintenance, Jeremy Longpre and the other is former counselor, Uncle Ross Whelchel. Wade Whelchel and Silas Longpre brought along their folks to help celebrate Uncle Phil Clough’s 90th birthday. LtoR: Ross & Wade Whelchel and Silas & Jeremy Longpre Winona Campers and Family Campers Unite! The unusually warm February weather led this group straight to the shores of Moose Pond.
