Side Trips<br />
Our Sunday morning schedule during<br />
the summer involves walking to<br />
church on Broadway in Arnolds Park.<br />
Good News Community Church moves<br />
from its regular location in Okoboji to the<br />
Okoboji Bible Conference<br />
grounds in Arnolds<br />
Park in order <strong>for</strong><br />
their worship services<br />
to be easily accessed by<br />
vacationers and visitors.<br />
The building has<br />
five large garage doors<br />
on each side, making<br />
it easy <strong>for</strong> visitors<br />
to slip in — and late<br />
comers to not feel that<br />
everyone is watching<br />
their arrival. We have<br />
MYRNA<br />
WAGNER<br />
firtst-hand experience in that regard.<br />
Something seemed off last Sunday as we<br />
walked the last half block. All of the doors<br />
were closed, a handful of people were gathered<br />
by the front door, and the worship<br />
director held a blow-horn in his hand to<br />
make an announcement.<br />
Then I noticed the poster-size sign taped<br />
to the front door: “Gone <strong>for</strong> Good.”<br />
My mind began to race. What on earth<br />
could have happened? Was there a <strong>dis</strong>pute<br />
over the use of the Bible Conference facilities?<br />
Had something happened with the<br />
pastor or church leadership?<br />
None of the above.<br />
Turns out we were not gathering to worship<br />
that morning, but going out to serve<br />
— in other words, gone out to do good.<br />
Our group was asked to cross the street to<br />
the Okoboji Middle School and help prepare<br />
the building <strong>for</strong> the arrival of students<br />
this week. Dressed in a dress and heels,<br />
I wasn’t expecting to clean lockers, bathrooms<br />
and windows, but it worked. In just<br />
Iowa over In<strong>for</strong>mation<br />
PUBLISHERS AND an PRINTERS hour the crew of would-be churchgoers<br />
covered nearly all of the building.<br />
It felt good to do good.<br />
summer<br />
For whatever happens this<br />
at the Iowa Great Lakes….<br />

Summary:<br />
For 41 years, Smithsonian Institution<br />
recording artist Bob<br />
Everhart, a BMI songwriter and<br />
publisher, has passionately<br />
been hosting an event in Iowa,<br />
the major thrust being the preservation<br />
and per<strong>for</strong>mance of<br />
America’s <strong>for</strong>gotten rural music.<br />
“I love America’s old-time music”<br />
Everhart said. “It’s the very soul of<br />
who we are as a people. Gospel<br />
music is one of my favorite genres,<br />
and when it’s old-time we really get<br />
to hear the ‘soul’ of what Gospel<br />
music is all about. I also like all the<br />
other <strong>for</strong>ms of music that gather at<br />
the festival, and it’s pretty incredible,<br />
traditional and classic country<br />
music; ragtime; bluegrass; folk;<br />
mountain; blues; cowboy; even<br />
western swing and honky-tonk.<br />
Old time music may be going by<br />
the wayside, but not if Bob Everhart<br />
has anything to say about<br />
it. For more than four decades he’s<br />
organized the Old Time Music Festival<br />
and Pioneer in Expo in Le Mars, IA.<br />
The 80-year-old Everhart is a Smithsonian<br />
Institute recording artist, songwriter<br />
and publisher who counts the<br />
late Woody Guthrie has a hero and<br />
like Guthrie has recorded <strong>for</strong> Moses<br />
Asch in New York.<br />
His passion is <strong>for</strong> the rural music of<br />
the country’s past, present and what<br />
he hopes is a long future.<br />
“This is our 41st year trying to save<br />
American rural culture, especially<br />
music,” Everhart said. “In my observation,<br />
rural music is different from<br />
commercial versions because it’s<br />
intensely human and sincere in relating<br />
a story. This music is a singularly<br />
important part of American culture.”<br />
This year’s festival runs from Aug.<br />
29 through Sept. 4 at the Plymouth<br />
County Fairgrounds in Le Mars. The<br />
“ice cream capitol of the world” will<br />
become the “old time music capitol of<br />
the world” <strong>for</strong> that particular week.<br />
And musicians will be coming from<br />
far and wide to join in the fun and<br />
per<strong>for</strong>m <strong>for</strong> fans of old time music.<br />
Buffalo Gals will be coming all the<br />
way from England.<br />
“I’m very familiar with Appalachian<br />
music and they play it really well,”<br />
Everhart said. “They’re coming all<br />
this way to see and per<strong>for</strong>m <strong>for</strong> some<br />
like-minded people keeping the music<br />
alive. We also have more younger<br />
people coming this year than ever.<br />
They want to per<strong>for</strong>m and be part of<br />
the group that keeps it alive.”<br />
Ben Steneker, the “godfather of<br />
Dutch country,” will be there <strong>for</strong> “one<br />
last hurrah.”<br />
Musicians from Bavaria and Australia<br />
will be there as well, along with<br />
many from around the United States<br />
who all share an affinity <strong>for</strong> these particular<br />
styles of music.<br />
In all, more than 450 per<strong>for</strong>mers<br />
will grace ten stages during the run of<br />
the festival.<br />
They will per<strong>for</strong>m music from the<br />
genres of gospel, ragtime, bluegrass,<br />
folk, mountain, blues, bluegrass, cowboy,<br />
western swing, honky-tonk and<br />
more.<br />
“This music is about honesty and<br />
sincerity and a love of the artisty and<br />
the musical process,” Everhart said.<br />
“I’ve been playing this music about 70<br />
years now and it’s the kind of music<br />
that permeates our being.”<br />
The late Patti Page once came out of<br />
retirement to attend the festival and<br />
Everhart always remembers what she<br />
said be<strong>for</strong>e heading back to Cali<strong>for</strong>nia.<br />
“She told me and wife, Sheila, to<br />
‘keep it country’ because nobody else<br />
is in this area,” Everhart said.<br />
So ‘keep it country’ they will. And<br />
you can too, all week along at the Old<br />
Time Music Festival in Le Mars. F<br />

Fishing<br />
Gone<br />
Summer<br />
Sights of<br />
Erin Radke<br />
Traveling west on Interstate 90 across South<br />
Dakota, you’ll find plenty of fishing spots<br />
with some delicious catch.<br />
My grandparents have a home five miles east<br />
of Mount Rushmore in the Black Hills of South<br />
Dakota. Growing up, my grandparents, parents,<br />
brother and I would hit up the best fishing spots<br />
western South Dakota has to offer, one particular<br />
spot being Sylvan Lake. At Sylvan we’d limit<br />
out on rainbow trout fish and have a massive<br />
feast the following night.<br />
However, my fishing experience has never really<br />
extended to Okoboji. From time to time I’ve<br />
dropped a line or two in on East Lake, but I’ve<br />
never taken it too seriously.<br />
This week my friend, Zack Herrig, a native of<br />
the Okoboji area, helped me fish. Around 5:30<br />
a.m. I made my way over to Arthur Heights<br />
neighborhood in Center Grove, IA. Located on<br />
East Lake, Arthur Heights hosts plenty of docks<br />
that are perfect <strong>for</strong> an early morning of fishing.<br />
Zack explained to me that by placing my line<br />
in near a dock-supporting post, the fish tend to<br />
wade there and are most likely to bite.<br />
Within 30 seconds of our fishing adventure,<br />
numerous fish grabbed a hold of our lines. Yellow<br />
bass and blue gill were the consistent catch<br />
of the morning. Some of the fish were the size of<br />
my fist whereas others were a decent sized catch.<br />
Every fish we caught we placed back in the water<br />
and prepared more bait on the line. Never in my<br />
life had I experienced such easy fishing. With<br />
minimal ef<strong>for</strong>t I felt as though I could catch the<br />
entire lake’s worth of fish.<br />
As the sun slowly crept over the trees, the fish<br />
catching gradually declined and dense humidity<br />
enveloped the lake. Although there were no<br />
boats on the water just yet, the humming of<br />
motors in the <strong>dis</strong>tance told us that the morning<br />
rush of lake activity was about to begin.<br />
Looking back on fishing with Zack, I’m happy<br />
that I took the time to fish in Okoboji. Just like<br />
golf, fishing is a lifelong activity that can be<br />
enjoyed by all individuals that give it a shot.<br />
Even though I didn’t have a monstrous catch,<br />
it was fun to catch and release dozens of fish<br />
on a beautiful early summer morning. Arthur<br />
Heights is just one of several great fishing locations<br />
in Okoboji. Someday, I plan to experience<br />
each one of them and hopefully catch the biggest<br />
fish in the lake. F<br />

Bees&<br />
butterflies<br />
Nature Center hosts pollinator celebration<br />
Almost everybody loves butterflies,<br />
but bees are a different<br />
story.<br />
Many people don’t appreciate bees,<br />
and other pollinators, <strong>for</strong> that matter,<br />
like the Dickinson County Nature<br />
Center believes that they should.<br />
That’s one of the reasons they have<br />
decided to host an annual Bee & Butterfly<br />
Festival and this year it is set to<br />
take place from 4-7 p.m. on Friday,<br />
Sept. 2.<br />
“Without pollinators, our world<br />
would cease to exist as we know it. We<br />
wouldn’t have fresh food or beautiful<br />
flowers without pollinators, such as<br />
butterflies and bees, doing their duties.<br />
The pollination of bees is responsible<br />
<strong>for</strong> one in three bites of food<br />
that we take, so just imagine one-third<br />
of your food intake gone,” said Kiley<br />
Roth, the community relations coordinator<br />
with the Dickinson County<br />
Nature Center. “We need to see just<br />
how important these creatures are and<br />
just how delicate they are. If we don’t<br />
take care of the environment so they<br />
have food sources and habitat, we will<br />
have devastating consequences.”<br />
But don’t worry. The festival is<br />
geared towards fun <strong>for</strong> one and all —<br />
no matter your age.<br />
“All ages are welcome at this event.<br />
It is fantastic <strong>for</strong> families with young<br />
children, but the speakers will also be<br />
great <strong>for</strong> teens and adults,” Roth said.<br />
“This is the biggest event the Dickinson<br />
County Conservation Board hosts, and<br />
we love having hundreds of people<br />
come to the nature center <strong>for</strong> an entertaining<br />
and educational time.”<br />
One of the most exciting events<br />
at last year’s festival was a live demonstration<br />
by Ocheyedan beekeeper<br />
Marlene Boernsen. She will be back<br />
again this year at 6 p.m., to demonstrate<br />
how honey is extracted from<br />
honeycomb in her hives.<br />
“People often see the white hive<br />
boxes in fields throughout the area,<br />
and we see honey <strong>for</strong> sale in stores,<br />
but we miss the process in between,”<br />
Roth said. “We want people to attend<br />
the honey extraction demonstration<br />
<strong>for</strong> several reasons. First, when people<br />
get a behind-the-scenes glimpse of<br />
any activity, they make a memory and<br />
have a story to tell. That gives them a<br />
more vested interest in that activity.<br />
We hope that people will gain that<br />
vested interest and appreciation <strong>for</strong><br />
honeybees through this program so<br />
that they will then want to learn more<br />
about how to save our honeybees and<br />
native bees.”<br />
In addition to the live honey extraction<br />
demonstration there will be<br />
plenty of other fun things to do.<br />

An outdoor tent will be set up <strong>for</strong><br />
bee and butterfly crafts as well as vendors.<br />
Pollinator Para<strong>dis</strong>e will be open<br />
during the event so people can tour<br />
the area.<br />
“This event has something <strong>for</strong> anyone<br />
who wants to get outside. We<br />
have vendors, crafts, lawn games, door<br />
prizes, photos with Sweetie the Bee,<br />
the Iowa State University Insect Zoo,<br />
the honey extraction demonstration<br />
as well as a magician,” Roth said. “The<br />
Farm to Fork food truck will also be<br />
on site.”<br />
There will also be an opportunity to<br />
tag monarchs inside the Nature Center.<br />
“We love the monarch tagging,<br />
where people can get up close to a<br />
monarch butterfly. We love seeing<br />
kids’ smiles when they are meeting<br />
Sweetie the Bee or making a fun craft<br />
to take home,” Roth said. “All of the<br />
staff absolutely love what we do and<br />
the impact that the Dickinson County<br />
Conservation Board is making, and<br />
we are passionate about fostering an<br />
appreciation of the environment in<br />
others, so this festival is just one way<br />
to do that!” F<br />

The Barefoot Bar is sending summer<br />
off with a party.<br />
Labor Day is the unofficial<br />
end of the summer season, and <strong>for</strong><br />
the past 10 years or so, The Barefoot<br />
Bar has used the day as a means to<br />
celebrate not mourn the passing of<br />
another summer season.<br />
“It started as a way <strong>for</strong> the staff to be<br />
able to cut loose after a long summer.<br />
We bring in ‘celebrity bartenders’ so<br />
most of our staff can be on the other<br />
side of the bar <strong>for</strong> this event,” said<br />
Debbie Parks, the marketing director<br />
<strong>for</strong> Parks Marina. “It’s a very relaxed<br />
night and most of the volunteer bartenders<br />
come back year after year, and<br />
work <strong>for</strong> free drinks and a t-shirt!”<br />
The Labor Day Dock Party will be<br />
preceded by another event that has<br />
become an annual celebration as well.<br />
On Monday, Sept. 5, the Arnolds Park-<br />
Okoboji Fire Rescue will host a fundraiser<br />
at The Barefoot Bar at 1 p.m.<br />
They’ll be hosting their annual Firemen’s<br />
Auction. People can come to<br />
bid, donate items or just to have fun.<br />
“It’s a great tradition and a lot of<br />
fun, that will start at 1 p.m. You can<br />
drop off any donations here at Parks<br />
Marina or come that day and bid on<br />
the items <strong>for</strong> a great cause,” Parks said.<br />
The Labor Day Dock Party kicks off<br />
officially at 5 p.m. with half-priced<br />
drinks and a per<strong>for</strong>mance by Tim<br />
Horsman and the Traidmarx.<br />
“It has been a long standing tradition<br />
<strong>for</strong> Tim Horsman and the Traidmarx<br />
to play this event. They have<br />
one of the best brass sections I’ve ever<br />
heard. When they play here, it’s an<br />
absolute treat! Sometimes Butch and<br />
I even get up to sing or attempt to play<br />
an instrument,” Parks said. “Many<br />
times, we have some very talented<br />
guest appearances that join the band<br />
<strong>for</strong> a song or two.”<br />
In addition to enjoying the tunes<br />
and some fun beverages, Parks said<br />
that people often let their hair down<br />
and enjoy some of the other things<br />
The Barefoot has to offer.<br />
“I would also not be surprised<br />
to see some adults going down the<br />
waterslide, or some of the staff being<br />
dunked in the beer tanks,” she said.<br />
Overall, this event <strong>for</strong> which there is<br />
never a cover charge, is a great way <strong>for</strong><br />
locals and tourists alike to say farewell<br />
to the summer season.<br />
“It’s just a great way to celebrate the<br />
end of a fun summer, and the start<br />
of another beautiful season at Okoboji,”<br />
Parks said. “I love all the locals<br />
and tourists that show up and there’s<br />
lots of hugs and a few tears as we<br />
say goodbye to some of our summer<br />
staff.” F<br />

IRRMA Hall of Fame inductees to rock the Roof Garden<br />
This weekend party starts and ends<br />
with a show. More specifically, a<br />
rock ‘n’ roll show.<br />
The Iowa Rock ‘n’ Roll Music Association’s<br />
Hall of Fame Induction<br />
weekend begins with a kickoff concert<br />
by The Senders at 6 p.m. Friday, Sept.<br />
2, at the Roof Garden in Arnolds Park.<br />
Tickets are $10.<br />
“As it’s been from day one, we use<br />
this weekend to recognize and induct<br />
those who’ve had an impact on rock<br />
‘n’ roll in the state of Iowa,” said John<br />
Senn, president of the IRRMA board<br />
of directors. “And every year we add<br />
some new things to the weekend. This<br />
year one of those things is the concert<br />
Friday night with The Senders, which<br />
is kind of continuation of our summer<br />
Rock the Roof Garden series.”<br />
Other new events this year include<br />
a silent auction and musicians swap<br />
meet at the Roof Garden.<br />
Saturday starts off with a pancake<br />
breakfast be<strong>for</strong>e the opening ceremony<br />
and a march down Lake Street to<br />
the rock ‘n’ roll museum. Drummers,<br />
guitarists, horn players. Anybody and<br />
everybody is invited to march in the<br />
parade and play some music along<br />
the way. There is also a vintage car<br />
show, Battle of the Bands and inductee<br />
meet and greet.<br />
“We get some old cars around that<br />
goes right along with classic rock ‘n’<br />
roll music,” Senn said. “And the Battle<br />
of the Bands competition <strong>for</strong> a recording<br />
contract with Catamount Studio<br />
of Cedar Falls is really fun. These<br />
young groups are very good and will<br />
strive to be part of the hall of fame<br />
one day themselves.”<br />
Sunday begins with an omelet<br />
breakfast at the Majestic Pavilion in<br />
the morning then moves to the Sami<br />
Center in Spirit Lake <strong>for</strong> the induction<br />
ceremony in the afternoon.<br />
“The Sami Center is a beautiful<br />
place. It’s always fun and a great thing<br />
to honor these musicians and inductees,”<br />
Senn said. “This will be our 20th<br />
induction class and kind of a kick-off<br />
to the 20th year of the association.”<br />
Back at the Majestic Pavilion, there<br />
will be an autograph party. To cap off<br />
a weekend of events there will be the<br />
Induction Spectacular Concert featuring<br />
eight of this year’s Hall of Fame<br />
inductees.<br />
Tickets are $45 <strong>for</strong> reserved seats<br />
and $35 <strong>for</strong> general admission seats<br />
in the Roof Garden. The show begins<br />
at 6:30 p.m.<br />
There are 26 inductees in this year’s<br />
Hall of Fame class, six of whom will<br />
join Class of 1997 inductees, The<br />
Velaires, as well as Dee Jay & the Runaways<br />
who will also be on stage <strong>for</strong><br />
the concert.<br />
Senn is a founding member of<br />
Dee Jay & The Runaways so he has a<br />
unique and close perspective on the<br />
importance of keeping rock ‘n’ roll<br />
alive and recognizing its historical<br />
importance in the state.<br />
“I grew up in a time period when Elvis<br />
came on the scene and the rock ‘n’<br />
roll revolution kicked off. Those that<br />
lived through it saw something culturally<br />
change throughout the country,”<br />
Senn said. “That created a lot of young<br />
groups with an excitement to go try<br />
and make it. It’s an imporant piece<br />
of our history and there are a lot of<br />
things this state has to be proud of.”<br />
NIGHT<br />
Those 2016 inductees to per<strong>for</strong>m will<br />
be Johnny Rogers, Drivetime, Street<br />
Band, Lynn Allen, Mourning Glory<br />
Rock Band and Flying Marsupials.<br />
“This will be some really good entertainment<br />
from some tremendous<br />
acts,” Senn said. “People that have<br />
come to these concerts have said<br />
they’ll never miss another one. We<br />
always encourage people to come out<br />
and see some of Iowa’s best.” F<br />

FLEA MARKETS<br />
Three locations host final flea markets of the season<br />
There is time <strong>for</strong> one more big<br />
antiquing excursion be<strong>for</strong>e the<br />
official conclusion of the summer<br />
season. Labor Day weekend will<br />
see the final shows of the year at Vick’s<br />
Corner World, Treasure Village and<br />
the Dickinson County Fairgrounds.<br />
Each location also hosts antique<br />
shows and flea markets on both<br />
Memorial Day Weekend and around<br />
Fourth of July earlier in the summer.<br />
The shows this Labor Day weekend<br />
all run from Sept. 3-5, though each<br />
location has slightly different hours.<br />
“We’ll probably have the best turnout<br />
in terms of vendor numbers this<br />
weekend compared to the other two<br />
we host earlier in the summer,” said<br />
John Guthrie, a staff member at the<br />
Dickinson County Expo Center.<br />
Hours <strong>for</strong> the show at the fairgrounds<br />
are 9 a.m.-6 p.m. Saturday<br />
and Sunday then 9 a.m.-4 p.m. on<br />
Labor Day.<br />
Guthrie encourages everyone to<br />
come check out the wares offered by a<br />
wide range of vendors on hand at the<br />
fairgrounds throughout the weekend.<br />
“We’ll continue to have some of<br />
the high-end merchan<strong>dis</strong>e in terms<br />
of glassware and jewelry,” Guthrie<br />
said. “There will also be wood crafts<br />
outside and new vendors so everyone<br />
should stop and see what they have to<br />
offer.”<br />
Guthrie noted that it’s not just<br />
new vendors that should interest flea<br />
market visitors, but also the vendors<br />
that make their way to each and every<br />
show as their inventory often changes.<br />
“You really never know so you just<br />
have to stop and see what’s out here,”<br />
Guthrie said.<br />
“Sometimes the vendors really get<br />
into decorating their booths with fun<br />
carnival or ’50s themes. It can be really<br />
interesting to see. There is also the<br />
Golden Buys Truckload Outlet Sale<br />
nearing it’s end-of-the-year extravaganza.”<br />
There will also be two food vendors<br />
on hand.<br />
Between the antique show and the<br />
Golden Buys Truckload Outlet Sale<br />
there will be plenty of merchan<strong>dis</strong>e to<br />
peruse Labor Day weekend and curious<br />
shoppers should stop by.<br />
Three days. Three locations. Plenty<br />
to of vendors to view.<br />
So plan accordingly and get in<br />
all the antique shopping and flea<br />
market bargain hunting possible this<br />
Labor Day weekend in the Iowa Great<br />
Lakes. F<br />
