While the Big Minnow, Holcombe, has been under new ownership since Jan. 1, new owners Cheryl Belanger and Brian Gutwiler say people should not expect any major changes in the near future.

They heard about the opportunity from Belanger’s sister, the previous owner, as Belanger has helped at the Big Minnow since her sister bought the place.

“We’re keeping it in the family,” said Belanger.

Belanger says her sister has continued to help out a lot.

“We all work together,” said Belanger.
