Creston Valley Gymnastics Club should have a brand-new, 6,000-square-foot home by September 1, thanks to the Vigna family. Mike Vigna, owner of the Creston Dairy Queen franchise, is personally motivated to build a new gymnastics facility because his wife, Heather, is the head coach for Creston Valley Gymnastics and two of their three sons are enthusiastic members of the club. The new building is located adjacent to the Dairy Queen, and Vigna will lease it to the club. “I’m not looking to make a profit,” he said, “I just want to cover my costs.”
