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 />

The Headliners showcase their skills in Okoboji<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 />

California<br />

It’s not a place. It’s a band.<br />

And they’ll be performing at<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 />

Ever participated in a buffalo chip tossing contest? If you are like most people,<br />

then the answer to that is most likely: no. But if you want to be able to<br />

answer a resounding yes to that question then you will have your chance at<br />

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