My mom Lois Bakkestuen formerly Henry worked as a waitress in the 1980s at the Big River Inn and used to complain and whine about a former boss named Kenny Beck.
My mom, Amy Kumlin worked here. Kenny wasn’t an employee, he owned the place. Things would be out of place all the time. One time she locked up but forgot something inside. When she went back in, there were empty plastic bags scattered all over the floor. She would hear bangs and go in to see the top to the quick bar on the floor, it wasn’t something that couldn’t just fall off and it would happen when nobody was around. Pictures would move constantly. It never really scared her but it was clear there was someone there. And every morning when they would go in to open, there was always a coffee cup sitting on the bar. And apparently Kenny liked coffee.
