Side Trips<br />
What was I thinking Saturday? The<br />
forecast my daughter shared with<br />
me said 80 percent chance of rain,<br />
and Friday evening’s little shower had certainly<br />
already set the<br />
tone for more to come.<br />
Yet, I was optimistic<br />
and set off for Risefest<br />
(the Christian music<br />
festival that takes<br />
place less than a mile<br />
from my home in<br />
Sheldon) wearing my<br />
(nearly) new Birks.<br />
MYRNA<br />
WAGNER<br />
I had visions of<br />
stretching my legs<br />
out in front of my<br />
camp chair and catching<br />
a few rays. Wearing<br />
socks and tennis shows would leave<br />
me with white feet, and walking through<br />
hay stubble with flip-flops leads to painful<br />
scratches and scrapes. Birkenstocks were<br />
the perfect solution. Easy to walk in. Comfortable<br />
for extended periods of time. Thick<br />
soles to keep away the prickly hay.<br />
All was well until the downpour.<br />
We were fortunate and waited out the<br />
deluge in the safety of a steel shed on the<br />
property adjacent the festival grounds.<br />
Once the all-clear was issued, I tip-toed my<br />
way around several puddles and managed<br />
to stay relatively dry. The mud crept up the<br />
cork soles of my sandals, but didn’t ooze<br />
over the edge.<br />
But for the final two bands of the night<br />
— Crowder and Toby Mac — I decided to<br />
get the up-close experience right next to the<br />
stage. Packed in with dozens of teenagers,<br />
the energy level and enthusiasm were contagious.<br />
Dancing in the mud and wet grass?<br />
Not so great.<br />
Once home I took a scraper, then a big<br />
brush, to my Birks. Bottoms, sides, tops,<br />
cork, leather — every inch of them had to<br />
be scrubbed.<br />
Right now they are propped above an air<br />
vent to dry. The jury is still out on whether<br />
they survived.<br />

Ann Bishop McGregor<br />
brings pastel work to<br />
Arts on Grand<br />
There is beauty all around. It’s in<br />
the people and places we see every<br />
day. It’s something artist Ann<br />
Bishop McGregor recognizes and is<br />
bringing to Arts on Grand in Spencer.<br />
The exhibit, “Beauty in the Ordinary,”<br />
will be on display from June<br />
20-July 29 and features McGregor’s<br />
pastel work covering a range of subjects<br />
from landscapes to still lifes,<br />
along with people and animals.<br />
Arts on Grand curator Joanne Schar<br />
is looking forward to the exhibit and<br />
thinks it’s one everyone can enjoy.<br />
“There aren’t as many pastel artists<br />
as there are with other mediums, so<br />
it’s fun to have one here,” Schar said.<br />
“Her still lifes have a sense of humor<br />
and her landscapes are calming images<br />
of Iowa. They’re scenes we’re familiar<br />
with that are fun to see as new<br />
Ann Bishop McGregor currently has a show at Arts on Grand in Spencer.<br />
Her exhibit is entitled “Beauty in the Ordinary.” PHOTOS BY RYLAN HOWE<br />
through an artist’s interpretation.”<br />
McGregor was interested in art since<br />
she was a child and often took classes<br />
and lessons before earning a graphic<br />
design degree from Iowa State University<br />
in Ames.<br />
She’s continued with art classes<br />
throughout her adult life as well. It<br />
was during one of these classes, while<br />
working with oil paints and studying<br />
Old Masters techniques, that she first<br />
began to experiment with pastels.<br />
“The teacher was demonstrating<br />
with pastels, which you work dark to<br />
light like with oils, and that was intriguing<br />
to me,” McGregor said.<br />
So about six years ago, her pastel<br />
work began and McGregor continually<br />
adds new pastels to her collection.<br />
She has become a signature member<br />
of the Iowa Pastel Society, enjoying<br />
all the workshops, classes, shows<br />
and competitions they have to offer.<br />
“It’s been fun to experiment these<br />
past few years. I like the way pastels can<br />
look like oil paintings,” McGregor said.<br />
McGregor’s landscapes focus on<br />
typical Midwestern scenes of farm<br />
fields, ponds, pastures and the like,<br />
many of which come just a short drive<br />
around her rural Charles City acreage.<br />
Her still lifes are a study of pumpkins,<br />
squash and gourds, with a dash<br />
of humor coming from the various<br />
titles and arrangements. They are<br />
also an opportunity for McGregor to<br />
practice the sight-size method where<br />
one places the canvas next to the<br />
subject and continually steps back to<br />
a marked point to observe before stepping<br />
forward to paint or draw.<br />
“It can be a good bit of exercise! And<br />
it’s very accurate,” McGregor said.<br />
Landscapes, still lifes, people,<br />
pets. The beauty in it all can be seen<br />
through McGregor’s eyes during the<br />
next month at Arts on Grand.<br />
“I hope people come away from<br />
the show with an appreciation of the<br />
beauty in the ordinary things around<br />
us. There’s beauty to it all. You just<br />
need to stop and look,” McGregor<br />
said. F<br />

LET FREEDOM RING<br />
Celebrate Independence Day weekend in George<br />
Let freedom ring.<br />
George’s annual Freedom Days<br />
celebration has been going on<br />
for more than a dozen years, and<br />
this year’s event will be held Friday-<br />
Sunday, June 30-July 2.<br />
The Lyon County community’s<br />
event kicks off Friday at 2 p.m. when<br />
the George Museum opens. A pedal<br />
tractor pull and the Miss George and<br />
Little Miss George Pageant will follow<br />
at 6 p.m. and 7:30 p.m., respectively.<br />
Saturday is packed full of activities,<br />
ranging from a 5K fun run/walk,<br />
which drew 150 participants last year,<br />
to a duck race.<br />
The George Museum also will be<br />
open throughout the day, and a parade,<br />
antique tractor pull, games and<br />
inflatables are sure to be a hit as well.<br />
A car show also will be held, and<br />
the event drew more than 100 vehicles<br />
last year.<br />
“We had quite a bit of success,”<br />
said Rob Van Egdom, president of<br />
the George Chamber of Commerce,<br />

“This year, we’re going to start having<br />
awards in a more formal setting.”<br />
A pie auction will be held on Saturday<br />
as a fundraiser for Freedom Days.<br />
“That is always fun, and that’s where<br />
the community really gets behind<br />
what you’re doing,” Van Egdom said.<br />
The band Replay of Sioux City will<br />
perform twice on Saturday, providing<br />
cover songs from the ’60s to today.<br />
A fireworks display will cap off Saturday’s<br />
lineup of events.<br />
“I have only been part of the George<br />
community for three-four years, but<br />
the fireworks display here is amazing,”<br />
Van Egdom said. “The way we<br />
purchase fireworks allows us to put on<br />
a fairly big show.”<br />
The chamber of commerce will host<br />
a Dad’s Belgian Waffles Breakfast on<br />
Sunday, followed by a fishing tournament.<br />
The George Museum also will be<br />
open throughout the day.<br />
Van Egdom is excited to not only<br />
provide entertainment for George<br />
residents, but visitors as well.<br />
“It’s a great family-friendly event,”<br />
he said. F<br />

LATINO<br />
Orange City to host Hispanic heritage celebration June 28<br />
FESTIVAL<br />
Orange City is a town filled with<br />
tulips, windmills and Dutch architecture.<br />
It is a town that is unabashedly<br />
proud of its Dutch heritage.<br />
But on Wednesday, June 28, a festival<br />
will be hosted to celebrate the<br />
city’s rich diversity.<br />
The sixth annual Festival Latino will<br />
be held that Wednesday at Windmill<br />
Park. The fun kicks off at 5 p.m. with<br />
lots of activities that the whole family<br />
will enjoy, including face painting,<br />
mural painting, a soccer challenge<br />
and a new Mayan/Aztec Pavilion.<br />
Just for the kids, there will be a<br />
bouncy castle and a piñata bust.<br />
The band Orquesta Alto Maiz Latino<br />
will take to the stage at 7 p.m.<br />
The band is based in the Midwest,<br />
and they have been performing regionally<br />
and internationally since<br />
1986. They perform a wide range of<br />
Latin musical styles, including merengue,<br />
samba, cha-cha-cha, salsa,<br />
calypso and boleros.<br />
Orquesta Alto Maiz performs original<br />
compositions as well as Latin-jazz<br />
standards by Tito Puente, Ray Barretto,<br />
Eddie Palmieri, Ismael Miranda,<br />
Mario Bauzá, Poncho Sanchez and<br />
others.<br />
Festival Latino is free to attend, and<br />
there will be plenty of yummy foods<br />
available to purchase.<br />
The event got its start because of a<br />
desire to more richly appreciate the<br />
Latino culture.<br />
“Based on conversations we had<br />
with many of our immigrant neighbors<br />
during an Adult Discipleship<br />
series we sponsored at my church,<br />
American Reformed Church in Orange<br />
City, the leaders of that series decided<br />
that it would be important for<br />
our community to better understand<br />
and celebrate local Latino culture,”<br />
said Harold Heie, the chair of the Festival<br />
Planning Team.<br />
“I then worked through CASA of<br />
Sioux County (Center for Assistance,<br />
Service and Advocacy), which I now<br />
co-direct, to initiate an annual festival<br />

designed to celebrate local Latino culture.”<br />
In an effort to further these efforts,<br />
all of the attendees are invited to wear<br />
traditional clothing from their country<br />
of origin. Prizes are given for the<br />
best outfits.<br />
The festival is going on its sixth<br />
year, and Heie is pleased with how<br />
the event continues to celebrate Latin<br />
cultures and also continues to bring<br />
people of all heritages together.<br />
“My favorite aspect is to see the<br />
marvelous way in which Latino and<br />
caucasian children enjoy numerous<br />
activities together, for it is the bonds<br />
of friendship that they develop with<br />
one another that holds out the greatest<br />
hope for persons of both cultures<br />
to flourish together into the future,”<br />
Heie said. “The purpose of the festival<br />
is to celebrate the riches of local<br />
Latino culture and provide the opportunity<br />
for all local residents to engage<br />
one another over good food, good fun<br />
and good music.” F<br />

History<br />
The idea for Village Northwest<br />
Unlimited was first conceived<br />
in November 1974 when Bob<br />
Hoogeveen, then principal of<br />
Sheldon High School, stopped<br />
to visit a friend, Lamar Esbeck,<br />
who worked at Handicap Village<br />
in Clear Lake.<br />
“That was my introduction to the<br />
disabled,” said Hoogeveen, founding<br />
executive director of the Village.<br />
“I was totally dumbfounded. The<br />
situation of the disabled was foreign<br />
to me until that day.”<br />
The trip to Clear Lake proved to<br />
have a haunting impact on Hoogeveen,<br />
and he was overwhelmed<br />
at his excitement of the possibility<br />
of Sheldon building a similar village.<br />

Celebrate Independence Day<br />
Village Northwest Unlimited has activities for the family<br />
Village Northwest Unlimited’s<br />
annual Independence Day Celebration<br />
has something for<br />
everyone.<br />
“It’s a great, family-friendly event,”<br />
said Samantha Waterstone, events and<br />
volunteer coordinator for the Village.<br />
This year’s event will kick off at<br />
5 p.m. Monday, July 3, with food<br />
booths from Hy-Vee, Pizza Ranch and<br />
Subway in Sheldon and Kelly’s Catering<br />
in Hospers.<br />
A variety of fun will follow at 6<br />
p.m. Carnival games, inflatables, laser<br />
tag, kiddie train rides, a kiddie Ferris<br />
wheel, face painting, an ice cream parlor,<br />
petting zoo, fire truck rides, pony<br />
rides, Mr. Twister, horse-drawn wagon<br />
rides and more are sure to be a hit for<br />
all ages.<br />
“They’ve all done quite well in the<br />
past,” Waterstone said.<br />
At 7 p.m., the Mud Dogs will perform<br />
from a song list of more than<br />
200 tunes, ranging from crowd favorites<br />
like “I Saw Her Standing There” by<br />
the Beatles to Neil Diamond’s “Sweet<br />
Caroline” and more modern day<br />
country songs by Little Big Town and<br />
Jason Aldean.<br />
“We’re really looking forward to<br />
having them,” Waterstone said.<br />
Fireworks will cap off the day’s entertainment<br />
at dusk.<br />
According to Barry Whitsell, president<br />
and CEO of Village Northwest<br />
Unlimited, the Sheldon-based facility<br />
began its Independence Day festivities<br />
more than 30 years ago.<br />
“It started as a celebration amongst<br />
our own residents. They decorated<br />
their bikes and wheelchairs in patriotic<br />
themes, and they would march around<br />
Village Circle,” he said. “It got to be,<br />
‘Let’s shoot off some fireworks,’ and<br />
then, ‘Let’s invite the public,’ so it’s just<br />
expanded and grown over the years.”<br />
According to Waterstone, an average<br />
of about 6,000-7,000 people turn<br />
out for the celebration each year, with<br />
even more showing up for the fireworks<br />
display.<br />
“People are able to participate in<br />
so many different activities, with the<br />
fireworks, with the music group, with<br />
the carnival games, food booths and<br />
inflatables — there’s something for<br />
everybody, really,” she said. “Our<br />
hope is to be able to celebrate with<br />
the community and really share what<br />
the Village is all about and be able to<br />
draw people to our campus.” F<br />

Join a hike to Judd Wildlife Area.<br />
The next installment of the Dickinson<br />
County Nature Center’s<br />
Hike the Wild series takes intrepid explores<br />
to the 236-acre area southwest<br />
of Milford.<br />
It will be a new experience for Bryanna<br />
Kuhlman, environmental education<br />
coordinator at the nature center,<br />
as well.<br />
Kuhlman will go on at least one exploratory<br />
hike herself before leading<br />
the group through the area next Tuesday,<br />
June 27, when those interested<br />
will meet at 9:30 a.m. at the nature<br />
center before venturing out to Judd<br />
Wildlife Area for the hike.<br />
“I’ll go out and explore beforehand<br />
and maybe take our vegetation specialist<br />
along to point out some the<br />
restoriation work he’s been doing as<br />
well as any rare or fun plants growing<br />
in the area,” Kuhlman said.<br />
She can then pass on this information<br />
to the hikers, as well as any other<br />
observations and facts about the local<br />
flora and fauna that come up along<br />
the way.<br />
Still fairly new to the area, Kuhlman<br />
enjoys getting the chance to explore<br />
her new surroundings right alongside<br />
her fellow hikers.<br />
“What I really love is that we get a<br />
core group of people coming back as<br />
well as newcomers each time,” Kuhlman<br />
said. “It’s so much fun to go out<br />
with like-minded and curious people.”<br />
Kuhlman noted that some people<br />
enjoy looking for prairie flowers while<br />
others are more into birding, and<br />
some just enjoy having someone lead<br />
the way in a new place to explore.<br />
“There are a lot of flowers and a<br />
lots of species in general out there.<br />
Blanding’s turtles have been seen out<br />
there,” Kuhlman said. “Overall it’s a<br />
community learning experience and I<br />
hope people find a new place they can<br />
explore or take their families when<br />
they visit. And if they learn some<br />
factoids and can walk away knowing<br />
a little something more than before,<br />
that’s great.”<br />
With a wide swath of meadow, as<br />
well as a prairie stream winding its<br />
way towards the Little Sioux River, the<br />
Judd Wildlife Area will provide plenty<br />
of space for visitors to enjoy as they<br />
explore a new patch of the beautiful<br />
land around the Iowa Great Lakes. F<br />

Expertly written<br />
dialogue key to ‘Plaza’ success<br />
Comedy takes the stage for week two of theatre season<br />
Travel to New York City and the<br />
Plaza Hotel for the second week<br />
of the Okoboji Summer Theatre’s<br />
60 th anniversary season.<br />
The comedy “Plaza Suite” is a classic,<br />
penned by Neil Simon, and coves<br />
a variety of human relationships. OST<br />
delivers the production with grace,<br />
under the expert direction of Bernard<br />
Monroe.<br />
There are three short stories that unfold<br />
on the stage, each taking place in<br />
the same hotel suite and dealing with<br />
human relationships and conflict.<br />
In the first scene, Karen and Sam<br />
Nash, played by Hannah Elliott and<br />
Michael Fisher are celebrating their<br />
23rd or 24th wedding anniversary<br />
(they can’t seem to agree how many<br />
years it has been.)<br />
The two are on completely different<br />
pages, she working to create a romantic<br />
celebration, and him distracted<br />
by his work. The dialogue between<br />
the two is well done, sharp and witty.<br />
Karen uses humor and sarcasm to disguise<br />
deep hurt and suspicion.<br />
Sam finally admits he would like a<br />
“do-over” and his mid-life crisis has<br />
gotten the best of him. He admits to<br />
having an affair with a young woman<br />
from the office.<br />
The scene ends with the wife begging<br />
him to stay despite his indiscretion.<br />
As the curtain closes the audience<br />
is left feeling her heartbreak.<br />
Story number two features high<br />
school sweethearts meeting up after<br />

many years. He is now a famous Hollywood<br />
producer; she is a married<br />
mother of three still living in their<br />
hometown in New Jersey.<br />
Simon’s dialogue is equally clever<br />
and real for story number two.<br />
She is fascinated with his celebrity<br />
status. He is enamored with her innocence.<br />
As their conversation and flirtation<br />
continues, the audience realizes<br />
he isn’t seducing her but they are both<br />
using each other.<br />
Paitra Babb and Dylan Crow feel<br />
genuine and comfortable in their<br />
roles.<br />
The third and final scene is the story<br />
of a frightened bride and her parents.<br />
Stephanie Hockaday and OST favorite<br />
Rob Doyen carry the night. Their line<br />
delivery and frustrations with each<br />
other are hilarious.<br />
Theatre patrons were laughing out<br />
loud on opening night as the craziness<br />
ensued.<br />
Doyen climbing out on the ledge<br />
seven stories up and his tuxedo jacket<br />
ripping up the back were high points<br />
in the hilarity.<br />
The mother’s dismay over her torn<br />
stockings is something women in the<br />
audience can relate to, and every dad<br />
that has ever stressed about the cost<br />
of a wedding will laugh when the father<br />
fusses about the costs of the hors<br />
d’oeuvres and cocktails.<br />
As one might expect, the groom<br />
steps in to save the day, though not in<br />
the thoughtful, loving way one might<br />
have thought.<br />
“Plaza Suite” continues through<br />
Sunday evening and even if you’ve<br />
seen this classic before, is worth seeing<br />
again. Up next week is the comedy<br />
“The Nerd.”<br />

Flea market findings<br />
Three locations hosts annual event flea markets<br />
Fourth of July weekend<br />
Four decades later, Treasure Village’s<br />
flea markets are still going<br />
strong.<br />
According to Garth Neisess, the offering<br />
began around 1976.<br />
The tradition will continue Saturday-Tuesday,<br />
July 1-4, at Treasure Village,<br />
located at 2023 Highway 86 near<br />
Milford.<br />
Neisess is co-owner of the facility,<br />
and he operates the flea markets,<br />
which are held three times each year<br />
during the Memorial Day, Fourth of<br />
July and Labor Day weekends.<br />
The offerings were initiated by<br />
Frank Hastings of Milford, who suggested<br />
to Neisess that he should begin<br />
holding the events.<br />
“He said that he would round up<br />
some vendors, and he found some<br />
people that he knew,” Neisess said.<br />
Now, about 80 spaces are offered,<br />
and about 60 vendors participate in<br />
the flea markets.<br />
“Some of them take up two, three<br />
or four spaces,” Neisess said. “A lot of<br />
them are back in their usual spot, and<br />
we have probably 15 new ones. We<br />
always welcome new vendors. We can<br />
always find a spot for them to squeeze<br />
in somewhere.”<br />
He noted that vendors will start<br />
coming on Thursday to get set up,<br />
while the bulk will pull through on<br />
Friday. The smaller ones will show up<br />
early Saturday morning.<br />
“It’s just a fun time,” Neisess said.<br />
Treasure Village’s Fourth of July flea<br />
markets will have its usual food offerings<br />
this year, ranging from kettle corn<br />
to various types of beef jerky, gyros,<br />
pulled pork, shaved ice and ice cream<br />
cones. New offerings will include root<br />
beer and rice and stir-fry vegetables.<br />
Besides the flea markets, Treasure<br />
Village also hosts the only 27-hole<br />
miniature golf course in the Iowa Great<br />
Lakes, and it boasts a family theatre<br />
program, which is presenting three<br />
shows — “Snow White,” “Aladdin”<br />
and “Beauty and the Beast” — this<br />
summer. Both offerings will be available<br />
Fourth of July weekend, as well.<br />
The location is staffed by its actors<br />
for the most part, and Neisess said he<br />
is continually complimented about<br />
how positive everyone is.<br />
“I hear that from a lot of vendors,”<br />
he said. “They’re actors, so they learn<br />
to be positive.”<br />
What’s more, not only the staff, but<br />
the flea market vendors have become<br />
like a second family to Neisess.<br />
“I always enjoy the vendors. You get<br />
to know them quite well through the<br />
years, which is the same with the theatre<br />
staff,” he said. “I still enjoy it after<br />
45 years. It’s been a fun adventure.” F<br />
