Hansen Foods in Suttons Bay has a new owner. Connie Frost, 57, of Maple City said her purchase of the grocery store officially went through last Tuesday. Frost has worked at Hansen Foods since 2002, when she joined original owner Dave Hansen to handle the back room of the grocery store. The store was eventually sold to grocery manager Gus O’Brien, who told Frost in 2011 about his future plan to retire. *** County students were on the sixth day of a 6-day weekend yesterday as the thermometer dropped and wind chills of 20 to 25 below zero were expected.
