That’s a little bit<br />
how we were last<br />
weekend at Okoboji.<br />
We were determined<br />
to get out and enjoy<br />
summer, even though<br />
Mother Nature was<br />
behaving as if it were<br />
the end of April rather<br />
than nearly June. We<br />
did our best not to let<br />
anything stop us from<br />
having a good time, but<br />
it was a challenge.<br />

Saturday afternoon our son and his<br />
friends were determined to go boating.<br />
They were all wearing hooded sweatshirts<br />
as they left the dock and though they took<br />
towels with them, they returned with everything<br />
and everyone still very dry. Later on<br />
we enjoyed an evening boat cruise around<br />
East Lake. The sky was lovely, the lake rather<br />
quiet — and we were bundled in our jackets<br />
and cuddled up under blankets to stay<br />
warm. One lone wave runner was still out<br />
on the lake and we all shuddered to think<br />
how cold that ride must have been.<br />
On Sunday to and from church we saw<br />
a few glimpses of sunshine through the<br />
clouds. The temperature felt a bit warmer<br />
than the previous day, and the wind was<br />
definitely calmer. After lunch we decided<br />
to catch a few rays. Armed with towels and<br />
beach blankets “just in case” we got situated<br />
on our lounge chairs. Ten minutes later the<br />
sky was filled with clouds and we had the<br />
blankets pulled up to our chins and over<br />
our toes.<br />

Catch some wind<br />
Worthington hosts Windsurfing Regatta<br />
The residents of Worthington,<br />
MN, are harnessing the power of<br />
the wind.<br />
Not for electricity via wind turbines,<br />
but instead they are harnessing raw<br />
wind power to highlight a fun sport<br />
and offer a weekend of unique events<br />
for the whole family. The 16th annual<br />
Windsurfing Regatta & Musical Festival<br />
will be held June 12-14.<br />
Worthington’s Lake Okabena is<br />
uniquely suited to host a windsurfing<br />
regatta as it consistently has the most<br />
important thing windsurfing requires<br />
— wind.<br />
“We complain about the wind here<br />
all the time, and now, we’re taking<br />
advantage of it,” said Ken Moser, one<br />
of the main organizers of the event.<br />
The Windsurfing Regatta & Music<br />
Festival began in 1999 and has become<br />
an annual event that features<br />
entertainment on the water and on<br />
the shore. Spectators can set up their<br />
lawn chairs on the shore and watch<br />
competitive windsurfing races or they<br />
can get out on the water for a free<br />
windsurfing instruction session.<br />
Last year, the Windsurfing Regatta<br />
in Worthington was the host for the<br />
U.S. Windsurfing National Championship.<br />
Worthington previously<br />
hosted the championships in 2004<br />
and 2008.<br />
This year, the three-day regatta is a<br />
part of the MoWind circuit of races<br />
around the Midwest. The Windsurfing<br />
Regatta is a straight surfing race with<br />
timed events.<br />
The regatta usually draws a crowd of<br />
thousands of people each day.<br />
But it’s not just the windsurfing that<br />
they come to see. There are plenty of<br />
other fun activities for the whole family<br />
over the weekend.<br />
Along with plenty of windsurfing,<br />
the Windsurfing Regatta & Music<br />
Festival will feature a number of local<br />
bands to enjoy for free.<br />
“After 15 years, we had a lot of<br />
people asking for different kinds of<br />
music, so we listened,” Moser said.<br />
This year some of the bands that<br />
will be performing outdoors for anyone<br />
who wants to pull up a lawn chair<br />
or blanket will include Maiden Dixie,<br />
Too Drunk 2 Fish, Rebel Queens and<br />
the Guilty Pleasures Orchestra.<br />
Windsurfing and music aren’t the<br />
only things on the agenda for the<br />
weekend. There’s more.<br />
“Each year we try to have an arts<br />
component,” Moser said.<br />
Worthington will play host to the 16th annual<br />
Windsurfing Regatta & Music Festival on June<br />
12-14 at Sailboard Beach on Lake Okabena.<br />
PHOTOS COURTESY OF THE DAILY GLOBE.<br />
They are fulfilling that goal in two<br />
different ways. They are bringing in<br />
an artist who will be doing sidewalk<br />
chalk art and will host a clinic to teach<br />
kids some of his tricks. They will also<br />
be hosting the Arts on the Shore arts<br />
and crafts event on Saturday once<br />
again this year.<br />
Saturday will also see a bunch of<br />
activities for the wee ones at the Kids<br />
Zone. From 10 a.m.- 5 p.m., kids can<br />
enjoy carnival games, face painting<br />
and playing in a giant sandbox.<br />
There will also be some opportunities<br />
for the more athletically inclined to get<br />
moving. Friday night will alight with<br />
color with the Worthington YMCA UV<br />
Splash Color Dash 5K. If running isn’t<br />
your thing then hop on a bike.<br />
The Regatta Bike Ride will take off<br />
on Saturday morning and bicyclists<br />
can choose from the 15, 30 and<br />
50-mile routes. This year there will be<br />
a new seven-mile family trail ride for<br />
those who want a quicker ride.<br />
Whether your interests lie in the<br />
direction of art, music, athletics or<br />
just having a fun time, feel free to grab<br />
some wind and sail up to Worthington,<br />
MN, for the 16th annual Windsurfing<br />
Regatta & Music Festival. F<br />

LIVE<br />
at the Lake<br />
Concert series set for<br />
another spectacular<br />
season<br />
Bring your lawn chairs and get<br />
ready to rock. Live at the Lake<br />
has a jam-packed lineup this year<br />
with musical acts of all kinds ready to<br />
entertain every Saturday night, as<br />
well as a few Fridays, throughout the<br />
summer.<br />
Georgia Satellites will kick things<br />
off on Saturday, June 13, at Preservation<br />
Plaza as the park also begins to<br />
celebrate it’s 125th anniversary.<br />
Other events on that kick-off weekend<br />
will include a sidewalk chalk<br />
contest on Saturday, a parade, free ice<br />
cream and cake, and free carriage rides<br />
on Sunday, as well as the afternoon<br />
tea fundraiser on Monday.<br />
“Live at the Lake has really grown<br />
and that’s continued this year,” Historic<br />
Arnolds Park marketing and<br />
communications manager Di Lorenzen<br />
said. “We’re so fortunate to have<br />
many great sponsors help bring all<br />
these bands to the park. As a nonprofit<br />
we wouldn’t be able to do this<br />
without their help.”<br />
With the help of those sponsors<br />
there are 18 concerts filling this summer’s<br />
Live at the Lake concert series.<br />
Every Saturday night from June 13<br />
through Sept. 5 has a band booked,<br />
as well as three Fridays and Sunday,<br />
July 5. The three-night concert stand<br />
for Independence Day weekend includes<br />
The Rumbles on Friday, Kory<br />
The Live at the Lake concert series will feature a number of free concerts throughout the summer.<br />
& The Fireflies on Saturday, and Uncle<br />
Kracker for a special 125th Anniversary<br />
concert on Sunday.<br />
All the concerts are free this year.<br />
The lineup also includes lakes area<br />
regulars Damon Dotson and The Nadas.<br />
Fans of The Rolling Stones will<br />
get to hear their favorite early hits<br />
from the British rockers with cover<br />
band The Rolling Stoners. Ladies<br />
of the 80’s are back. As is Cowboy<br />
Mouth.<br />
Reggae lovers will be eager to pack<br />
the park for The Wailers and country<br />
fans will line up for Chris Cagle.<br />
These are just about half the shows<br />
scheduled to rock the lake this summer.<br />
“To help celebrate the 125th we’ve<br />
brought in bands like The Rumbles<br />
who played the Roof Garden for<br />
years, as well as returning favorites<br />
like Damon Dotson and Kory & The<br />
Fireflies,” Lorenzen said.<br />
With a lineup full of acts from a<br />
wide variety of musical genres, thousands<br />
of fans, young and old alike,<br />
figure to pack the plaza every weekend<br />
this summer.<br />
“People that come really enjoy the<br />
PHOTOS SUBMITTED<br />
atmosphere, which is so unique being<br />
right by the water with the amusement<br />
park right there as well,” Lorenzen<br />
said. “It’s a family venue with<br />
family friendly concerts so the kids<br />
can come and have a blast along with<br />
their parents.”<br />
Whatever your musical taste may<br />
be, there is a band to enjoy all summer<br />
during Live at the Lake.<br />
With the whole experience of Arnolds<br />
Park at your fingertips bring the<br />
family, take in a show, take in the park<br />
and get ready for a rockin’ good time<br />
along the shores of Okoboji. F<br />

It’s time to jazz things up a bit. The Headliners are<br />
coming back to Okoboji to showcase their jazz<br />
talents for what is sure to be a packed house in<br />
Pomerantz Hall at Pearson Lakes Art Center.<br />
The group is made up of eight guys from as near<br />
as Iowa City; Vermillion, SD; and Omaha, NE; to<br />
as far as Los Angeles, Chicago and Colorado. By<br />
day they teach the ways of jazz music to students<br />
at the Reggie Schive Jazz Camp held at Iowa Lakes<br />
Community College in Estherville. By night they<br />
entertain audiences around the Iowa Great Lakes.<br />
“They’ve been here for more than 10 years now<br />
and they’re a great group of guys, great to work with<br />
and they have fun on stage which the audience<br />
enjoys,” Pearson Lakes Art Center performing arts<br />
director Rachelle Fratzke said. “I think they’ll entertain<br />
everyone and especially any jazz lovers.”<br />
The group’s name came from simple necessity.<br />
“They were our ‘headliners’ at jazz camp and we<br />
needed to call them something.” Iowa Lakes Community<br />
College instrumental director Carol Ayres<br />
said. “We made a CD and they needed a name,<br />
simple as that.”<br />
Ayres helped start the camp, named for the late<br />
music instructor Reggie Schive, which is now in its<br />
35th year and runs from June 7-11 in Estherville. At<br />
least one of the Headliners, keyboardist and vocalist,<br />
Tony Gulizia of Vail, CO, has been involved<br />
The Headliners:<br />
Roger Neumann, saxophones, Los Angeles,<br />
CA<br />
CJ Kocher, saxophones, Vermillion, SD<br />
Michael Gurciullo, trumpet and vocals, Omaha,<br />
NE<br />
Dan Cassady, trombone, Iowa City, IA<br />
at the camp every single year. Most, if not all, of<br />
the group members have a connection to Schive<br />
whether it be as a teacher and student or band mate,<br />
or both.<br />
“They’re not just wonderful musicians, but wonderful<br />
teachers and they have a great rapport with<br />
the students getting them fired up to play jazz all<br />
summer long,” Ayres said.<br />
This is the only time of the year The Headliners<br />
get to together as an entire group to perform. Ayres<br />
thinks the concert is a great way for the community<br />
to see the talented musicians that are teaching at the<br />
camp.<br />
“It’s a great way to show the community what<br />
incredible performers they are,” Ayres said. “They<br />
don’t play together the rest of the year and come<br />
together without music or practice and just play. It’s<br />
really impressive.”<br />
As far as the music is concerned, Ayres said it will<br />
be a great jazz concert with a variety of straightahead<br />
jazz, swing, ballads and more. They will also<br />
sit in with the Dick Bauman Big Band on Monday<br />
night at the art center.<br />
For jazz lovers it’s an opportunity not to be<br />
missed.<br />
“I personally love jazz and we don’t get much<br />
around here so it’s nice to have this show on the<br />
schedule each year,” Fratzke said.<br />
So get your jazz fix now and take advantage of<br />
this once-a-summer chance to catch The Headliners<br />
in Okoboji. F<br />

Rocking and rolling all summer long<br />
Rock the Roof concerts kick off June 11<br />
Are you ready to rock?<br />
Because the Iowa Rock ‘n’ Roll<br />
Music Association is all set to<br />
rock and roll this summer.<br />
Once again the Iowa Rock ‘n’ Roll<br />
Music Association will be hosting<br />
their Rock the Roof concert series on<br />
10 consecutive Thursday evenings<br />
at The Roof Garden in Arnolds Park<br />
Amusement Park.<br />
“This is our 13th year of Rock the<br />
Roof concerts. It has evolved and<br />
become an expected tradition,” said<br />
Andrea Wiesenmeyer, the director of<br />
operations with the Iowa Rock ‘n’ Roll<br />
Music Association. “We have people<br />
who will call here and base their vacations<br />
around whose going to be playing<br />
when.”<br />
The Rock the Roof concerts take<br />
place every Thursday evening at 6<br />
p.m. and will start on June 11.<br />
This first concert is being called<br />
“Throwback Thursday” to help celebrate<br />
the Arnolds Park Amusement<br />
Park’s kick-off of their 125th anniversary.<br />
To celebrate the event, they will<br />
only be charging a $2 admission fee<br />
for the Rock the Roof concert on June<br />
11 instead of the normal $5.<br />
“We are excited to help Arnolds<br />
Park Amusement Park kick off their<br />
125th anniversary with our first Rock<br />
the Roof for the summer. The park has<br />
been a large part of our history and we<br />
are excited to help them celebrate all<br />
summer long,” Wiesenmeyer said.<br />
The first concert will feature The<br />
Trademarkz and the DC Drifters.<br />
Many of the members of The Trademarkz<br />
were originally in the band<br />
The Fabulous Traidmarx. The band<br />
is made up of Tim Horsman on keyboards,<br />
Greg Hoekstra and Bob Rusk<br />
on trumpet, Dennis Johnson on sax,<br />
David Lady on guitar and they will be<br />
joined by Mick Buckley.<br />
The DC Drifters are based in Austin,<br />
MN, and have been playing old time<br />
rock ‘n’ roll for the past several decades<br />
all over the Midwest.<br />
The rest of the bands for the<br />
10-week lineup will offer something<br />
for everyone.<br />
“Rock the Roof has a great summer<br />
lineup this year. You’ll see some familiar<br />
names as well as some new ones.<br />
We tried to get a little bit of something<br />
for everyone in this year’s lineup,” Wiesenmeyer<br />
said.<br />
The Rock the Roof concerts generally<br />
bring in a crowd that numbers<br />
around 600-1,000 people each night.<br />
One new thing they are trying out<br />
this year is to partner with a different<br />
local non-profit for each of the concerts<br />
in an attempt to give back.<br />
“One dollar of each ticket will be<br />
donated back to a local non-profit<br />
this year,” said Wiesenmeyer. “It’s a<br />
great way for us to reach out to some<br />
other non-profits in the community.<br />
It will also help boost community<br />
awareness for us and for them.”<br />
Some of the non-profits they will<br />
be partnering with over the summer<br />
include Camp Foster, 4-H, Discovery<br />
House, Dickinson County Trails and<br />
the Humane Society of Northwest<br />
Iowa. The Iowa Rock ‘n’ Roll Music Association<br />
is on a mission to preserve<br />
the legacy of rock ‘n’ roll in Iowa, all<br />
you have to do is sit back and enjoy a<br />
night of that nostalgic sound. F<br />

FLAGS, FLAGS AND MORE<br />
FLAGS<br />
Spencer’s Flagfest set for June 12-14<br />
Flags are about to take center stage in Spencer,<br />
IA.<br />
For the past 31 years the second weekend<br />
is June has been set aside to celebrate something<br />
special. And this year, things won’t be any different.<br />
The 31st annual Spencer Flagfest celebration<br />
will be held June 12-14.<br />
It all began back in 1984 when a group of<br />
people decided to start an event that celebrated<br />
patriotism and community spirit. When that<br />
was combined with the fact that Spencer is one<br />
of the flag cities of Iowa, it seemed natural to<br />
adopt the flag theme for the annual celebration.<br />
All these years later, the flags are still flying<br />
high. Spencer’s Grand Avenue becomes a sight<br />
to see. Flags from all 50 states are flying alongside<br />
U.S. territory flags.<br />
Don’t worry. They don’t forget about Old<br />
Glory. The U.S. flag is predominantly displayed<br />
throughout the weekend.<br />
Events will officially kick off on Friday. For<br />
movie lovers, you can grab a blanket or a lawn<br />
chair and head to East Leach Park for the movie<br />
in the park. This year’s feature film will be “Big<br />
Hero 6.”<br />
Saturday is jam-packed with events and things<br />
get started at a brisk pace with the annual Run<br />
for the Sun 5K/10K.<br />
They say that’s there’s nothing more American<br />
than apple pie, and to go along with the Stars &<br />
Stripes waving overhead, it seems only fitting to<br />
also include that particular pie.<br />

will be hosting an apple pie baking contest on<br />
Saturday, June 13. Later in the day the pies will<br />
be judged and then they will be served up for<br />
free for anyone who wants a slice until the pies<br />
are gone.<br />
Saturday will also feature a few flea markets<br />
and lots of fun activities to keep the kids entertained<br />
in East Leach Park.<br />
The biggest attractions on Saturday are the parade<br />
and the Grand Cruise and Tunes on Grand<br />
Avenue. The Grand Cruise features both cars and<br />
music from the days of old.<br />
Activities continue on Sunday with the traditional<br />
flight breakfast at the Northwest Iowa<br />
Regional Airport, where pancakes and sausage<br />
are served to all who drive in or fly in.<br />
Other Sunday activities will include a free<br />
swim at the Spencer Family Aquatic Center and<br />
performance by the Spencer Municipal Band in<br />
the afternoon.<br />
Flagfest is the place to be for those who love<br />
flags, fun and more flags. F<br />

Pedaling<br />
for a<br />
purpose<br />
Bike ride seeks to promote<br />
water conservation<br />
Water. It’s what brings thousands<br />
upon thousands of<br />
vacationers flocking to the<br />
Iowa Great Lakes every year. It’s also<br />
something we take for granted.<br />
But that’s something the people at<br />
the Dickinson County Conservation<br />
Board and the Dickinson County Soil<br />
& Water Conservation District are<br />
hoping to change.<br />
The We Pedal Clean Water bike ride<br />
will be held on Saturday, June 13, and<br />
will hopefully fulfill two purposes.<br />
“It’s not only going to be educational,<br />
but it’s also great to get people out and<br />
moving during the summer,” said Kiley<br />
Roth, the community relations coordinator<br />
at the Dickinson County Nature<br />
Center. “Bike rides are a great way to<br />
draw in people of a variety of ages.”<br />
We Pedal Clean Water is a 20-mile<br />
ride around West Lake Okoboji that<br />
will include several stops where<br />
people will be able to learn about the<br />
efforts local people and organizations<br />
are making to positively impact water<br />
quality.<br />
Here is a list of the stops and the<br />
topics that will be discussed at each<br />
stop:<br />
1. Drainage District No. 22: What is a<br />
watershed?<br />
2. Historic Arnolds Park: How pervious<br />
pavers filter water.<br />
3. Milford Municipal Utility shoreline:<br />
The role native vegetation plays in<br />
stabilizing shorelines.<br />
4. West O Beer: Sustainable water use.<br />
5. Garlock Slough wetland complex:<br />
Wetland Restoration & Enhancement<br />
programs.<br />
6. Emerson Bay State Park: Soil health.<br />
7. Iowa Lakeside Lab: Water quality<br />
research and monitoring.<br />
8. Okoboji View Golf Course: Wetland<br />
restoration project.<br />
9. Monarch Cove: How bio-cells function.<br />
Even though a 20-mile bike ride<br />
may seem daunting to some it’s an<br />
event that was planned for a variety of<br />
athletic abilities.<br />
“It’s not a group ride so people can<br />
go at their own pace. They can take off<br />
and ride the trail by themselves and<br />
they can stop whenever they want,”<br />
said Roth. “The event will run from<br />
8 a.m. to noon and the presenters<br />
will just keep presenting during that<br />
whole time.”<br />
People can register the morning<br />
of the ride, which will start at the<br />
Dickinson County Nature Center and<br />
riders will return there to conclude<br />
the event. For people who aren’t ready<br />
to tackle the ride, but want to learn<br />
about some water conservation ideas,<br />
they can simply come to the nature<br />
center and talk with local conservation<br />
professionals.<br />
While getting out and moving is<br />
important, the organizers also want to<br />
stress that water conservation is something<br />
that everyone can do and it can<br />
be something small.<br />
“I hope the that everybody who<br />
comes and participates that day sees<br />
something along the route or talks to<br />
somebody who is doing this or that at<br />
their home already and is inspired to<br />
try something new,” said Jim Sholly,<br />
the Iowa Great Lakes watershed coordinator.<br />
“Efforts don’t have to be<br />
grand structures that are eyesores —<br />
the majority of things being done are<br />
really easy to do.”<br />
One small idea that can have an<br />
impact on water quality include ceasing<br />
to mow all the way down to the<br />
waters’ edge and instead just letting it<br />
grow and replacing that ornamental<br />
grass with native species.<br />
“We hope that we are able to<br />
educate people who might not know<br />
much about water conservation, but<br />
who come because they like bike riding<br />
and that they will learn something<br />
in the process,” Sholly said.<br />
Water conservation is a subject that<br />
should concern everyone as it will<br />
impact everyone, according to Sholly.<br />
“Clean water is something that we<br />
often take advantage of and especially<br />
in this area we base our livelihood or<br />
weekend recreation activities around<br />
it. But it’s also something we often<br />
take for granted,” said Sholly. “That’s<br />
why we want to work to ensure the<br />
water quality for future generation,<br />
not just our generation.” F<br />

Lineup set for annual Parade of Homes<br />
In this parade the floats don’t move. Instead visitors tour each of the floats<br />
themselves at seven locations throughout the Iowa Great Lakes area. And<br />
the “floats” are actually a variety of homes set up for the 2015 Parade of<br />
Homes hosted by the Home Builders Association of Northwest Iowa. The<br />
parade is set for June 6-7 from 10 a.m.-5 p.m.<br />
Tossing buffalo chips<br />

the 31st annual Buffalo Days celebration in Luverne, MN, on June 5-7.<br />
