JUNE 2015

COMING THIS SUMMER IN CANNONSBURG... The Village of Cannonsburg has a lot

going on this summer! To begin with, the

Cannonsburg Trail is being extended from

Townsend Park to the corner of Joyce Rd.

and Cannonsburg Rd. Construction has

begun in May and hopefully will be done

before the Fourth of July, weather permitting. The new parking lot for

the trailhead and park on the site of the old McCarthy house (across

from the Grist Mill) is being completed. In addition, the Grist Mill will

become a Sunoco branded gas station in June. In a few weeks we

will have all new pumps and a slight makeover. Last but definitely not

least is that the Grist Mill will be serving ice cream and smoothies in

the very near future! With all of this going on, we hope that you’ll be

able to stop by and enjoy in the fun and excitement this summer.

COMMUNITY RECGONITION FOR ‘OUR MAYOR’

OF CANNONSBURG On May 1, 2015 the Rockford

Area Community Endowment

(RACE) honored Judge Stephen

Servaas, Lyle Squires and myself,

Don Kurylowicz , for individuals

who made significant positive

contributions to the community.

I was both humbled and hon-

ored by this recognition. Humbled for being in the company of

Judge Servaas, and Lyle Squires, two men who have made a lifetime

in the Rockford area. Surprisingly honored for just doing my job and

having so much fun for over 30+ years. This honor that I am very

thankful for has to be shared with all the people who helped restore

the Village of Cannonsburg. My father (Red) who was there in the

early days to help, all the staff that have come and gone, and all the

neighbors and friends that have helped support and encourage are

all a part of this honor. To paraphrase the line I truly believe “It takes a

village to build a village”. A special thanks Dick Davies for nominating

me and a big thank you to the members of the RACE committee for

granting this recognition to me.

With June comes a lot of exciting happenings at

The Grist Mill. As we told you in the front page

article, we’ll be branding the Grist Mill as a Sunoco

Gas Station during the month of June. This is going

to help many things in our overall customer service

in the upcoming months. Our biggest sale in June

will take place over Father’s Day weekend where

we will have some unbeatable meat specials

(check some of them out below). Also, during June

we have decided to continue our daily smoke-

house specials and once again we have an unbe-

lievable meat bundle for you. If you have bought

one, this is definitely the month to buy your first!

FATHER’S DAY & SUMMER SOLSTICE

WEEKEND SPECIALS Friday, June 19 thru Sunday, June 21

year all winter and spring. For some reason the

warmer weather has had me thinking about New

Orleans and, in particular, crawfish boils. There are

not many things better than sitting around a table

with friends and a big pile of crawfish with an ice

cold beer.

Oh, you haven’t tried that? Well, here’s your

chance! During Father’s Day weekend on both

Friday and Saturday nights well be having our very

own 1st Annual Crawfish Boil at the HCI. We will

take a very large pot and fill it with water, sea-

soned with Creole seasoning, Lemon, Onions, Gar-

lic, and Mushrooms. We’ll let this cook for a while

and then we add Red Potatoes, Sweet Corn on

the Cob, Andouille Sausage, and at the end, lots

and lots of those little delicious Crawfish. It will

come out to the table in one big pile and then you

dig in family style. If all goes well with the first an-

nual, the plan is to move it outside next year. As

you can see, I’m pretty excited about this. I hope

you’ll be able to stop by to taste some crawfish

and our other specials inspired by New Orleans for

the entire month of June.

Thank you and Happy Summer!
