Ulf seems slightly perplexed as her mother holds her on the moose at Gunflint Mercantile. The name Ulf stands for wolf in Norway, her mother said. It is an Old Norse name that is considered a strong, feminine name. Ulf and her family were visiting from the Old Country when they stopped at Gunflint Mercantile on Tuesday, July 25, as the establishment was celebrating “Christmas in July.” Owner Chelsea Pusc has made holiday Eggnog fudge, buttered rum truffles, pumkin pie fudge, spiced apple truffles, caramel apple floats and more! The holiday celebration runs through Monday, July 31. Joynes, The Big Lake, Java Moose and other businesses around town joined the Gunflint Mercantile in the July Christmas celebration. Santa Claus is coming from the North Pole to the Gunflint Mercantile on Sunday, July 30, so bring an early Christmas wish list.
