Side Trips<br />
Our lights and camera equipment were<br />
like a beacon to boaters on West Lake<br />
during the early evening hours on Sunday.<br />
One of the images<br />
we wanted <strong>for</strong> our son’s<br />
senior pictures was<br />
him with our boat.<br />
Boating is his favorite<br />
summertime activity<br />
and Okoboji is one of<br />
his favorite places, so it<br />
seemed appropriate.<br />
My husband is a terrific<br />
photographer, but<br />
he primarily shoots<br />
sports <strong>for</strong> our other print<br />
publications, and only<br />
MYRNA<br />
WAGNER<br />
rarely does portraits. He wanted to be well-prepared<br />
<strong>for</strong> this photo shoot, so checked lighting<br />
conditions Saturday evening, identified the<br />
window of opportunity <strong>for</strong> getting the shots<br />
he wanted, and recruited the correct number<br />
of bodies to help with the ef<strong>for</strong>ts. Our friend<br />
drove the boat, and my daughter and I served<br />
as human light stands and reflector holders.<br />
Jeff put freshly-charged batteries in each light<br />
and the camera flash, and packed his three<br />
favorite lenses. We were set.<br />
Experience told us Sunday evening would<br />
have a fraction of the number of boats from<br />
other weekend nights, but we failed to factor in<br />
the curiosity component of those few boaters.<br />
We were shooting off the dock and within<br />
the no-wake zone, but the waves rolling in<br />
from “Lookie-Lous” kept messing with the<br />
boat position. People also thought it was funny<br />
to yell “Take our picture” or “Can we photo<br />
bomb?”<br />
We managed to work around all of that and<br />
Jeff got some neat shots. The funniest ones<br />
though aren’t of the passers-by trying to photo<br />
Iowa bomb In<strong>for</strong>mation<br />

out of the way between the driver’s seat and the<br />
steering wheel.<br />

KATE HARLOW | STAFF WRITER<br />
MARTINA<br />
M c BRIDE<br />
Clay County Fair opens with country superstar<br />
The Clay County Fair is opening<br />
with some superstar power.<br />
Martina McBride, a country superstar,<br />
will be headlining the opening<br />
night of the Clay County Fair in<br />
the U.S. Cellular Grandstand on Saturday,<br />
Sept. 10 at 7:30 p.m. The Clay<br />
County Fair will run from Sept. 10-18,<br />
and will feature many nights of exciting<br />
musical entertainment.<br />
The Clay County Fair has played<br />
host to Martina McBride in the past,<br />
first in 2001 and then in 2003.<br />
“With her last appearance over a<br />
decade ago, we knew it was time to<br />
have her back,” said Jeremy Parsons,<br />
the manager of the Clay County Fair.<br />
“Martina McBride’s powerful vocals<br />
will set the tone <strong>for</strong> the 2016 fair. It<br />
is an honor to bring an artist of this<br />
caliber back to the fair.”<br />
McBride has won multiple Grammys<br />
and has sold more than 18 million<br />
albums. She has had twenty Top<br />
10 singles including six No. 1 hits.<br />
She has earned more than 15 major<br />
music awards, including four wins <strong>for</strong><br />
female vocalist of the year from the<br />
Country Music Association and three<br />
Academy of Country Music awards <strong>for</strong><br />
Top Female Vocalist.<br />
She has been awarded 14 gold records,<br />
nine platinum honors, three<br />
double platinum records, and two<br />
triple platinum awards.<br />
Another country artist will open the<br />
night be<strong>for</strong>e McBride takes the stage.<br />
Iowa musician Brad Morgan has since<br />
moved to Nashville to pursue his career.<br />
Tickets are on sale now and prices<br />
are $48 (general admission stage front<br />
standing), $38 (reserved Grandstand<br />
seating), and $33 (general admission<br />
bleacher seating). Tickets will be available<br />
online at www.midwestix.com,<br />
by phone at 1-515-244-2771, or in<br />
person at the Clay County Regional<br />
Events Center Box Office.<br />
“Ticket sales are very strong but<br />
seats in all areas (grandstands, stage<br />
front standing, bleachers) still remain,”<br />
Parsons said.<br />
But you should get your tickets<br />
soon, as Parsons believes people are<br />
really very excited to be able to come<br />
and see Martina McBride in concert at<br />
the Clay County Fair once again.<br />
“I know people in the Spencer community<br />
still talk about her show from<br />
2003. It will be exciting to see those<br />
fans since I know they have waited a<br />
long time to see her again at the fair,”<br />
Parsons said. F<br />

Clay County Fair | 9<br />
RYLAN HOWE | STAFF WRITER<br />
Chuckwagons, sprint cars at the Clay County Fair<br />
Chuckwagon racing may have<br />
originated in the days of the<br />
pioneers, but it still takes center<br />
stage in the 21st century as drivers<br />
steer their wagons around the track<br />
next weekend at the Clay County Fair.<br />
The chuckwagon races will take<br />
place at noon on both Saturday and<br />
Sunday, Sept. 10-11, at the U.S. Cellular<br />
Grandstand. Tickets are $15 <strong>for</strong><br />
adults and $10 <strong>for</strong> children.<br />
“It’s definitely one of our more<br />
popular, well-followed events. People<br />
love chuckwagon racing,” said Andrea<br />
Wiesenmeyer, marketing and sponsorship<br />
manager <strong>for</strong> the Clay County<br />
Fair.<br />
There is a core group of racers from<br />
Chuckwagon Racers IA-MN, Inc. that<br />
participate, but Wiesenmeyer said<br />
people do come from all over the<br />
Midwest to race.<br />
The concept of chuckwagon races<br />
stems from when cowboys herded<br />
cattle across the great expanses of<br />
the plains. After breaking camp the<br />
READY to RACE<br />
chuckwagon crew would speed out<br />
to overtake the herders and set up a<br />
new camp at the next stop. Speed was<br />
a necessity <strong>for</strong> many reasons, whether<br />
because of traveling in hostile territory,<br />
or to stake out prime real estate<br />
if more than one herd was heading in<br />
the same direction.<br />
These “races” are recalled when<br />
these modern wagon drivers take to<br />
the track in Spencer.<br />
“There is obviously a strong and<br />
loyal following <strong>for</strong> the chuckwagon<br />
races,” Wiesenmeyer said. “They’re<br />
unique and have been around a long<br />
time. It’s part of fair history and one of<br />
those things people get excited about<br />
every year and has become a tradition<br />
among many families that visit the<br />
fair.”<br />
The chuckwagon races kick off the<br />
dirt track fun on the first weekend of<br />
the fair, but there will be plenty of action<br />
throughout the week as well. The<br />
10th Annual Arnold Supply Shootout<br />
takes a new turn as it becomes World<br />
of Outlaws vs. National Sprint League<br />
(NSL) <strong>for</strong> the first time.<br />
“We have quite a few dirt track<br />
events. The track was re-done ten years<br />
ago to better fit many of these styles<br />
of racing,” Wiesenmeyer said. “IMCA<br />
has been around in one way, shape<br />
or <strong>for</strong>m <strong>for</strong> quite awhile. It’s the 10th<br />
year of World of Outlaws. It’s part of<br />
the fair culture and something people<br />
really like to see, so we try to have different<br />
types of racing to appeal to as<br />
many people as possible.”<br />
Chuckwagons and stock cars. Tractor<br />
and truck pulls. There will be<br />
plenty of dirt track action to keep race<br />
fans entertained throughout the week<br />
of this year’s Clay County Fair. F<br />

If it were enough to simply cut corn silage, then a Krone would not be so special.<br />

Zip-lining<br />
over Boji<br />
My summer in Okoboji has been<br />
absolutely incredible.<br />
After four years of collegiate<br />
volleyball, my first summer away from<br />
the sport I love has been a breath<br />
of fresh air. I’ve had the privilege of<br />
meeting so many amazing people, experiencing<br />
some of the best activities<br />
Okoboji has to offer and having my<br />
family there to enjoy it with me.<br />
Of all the sights of summer, my last<br />
was one of my favorites. This past week<br />
I got to check out the brand new attraction<br />
at Bracco called, Sky Ryder. The<br />
Sky Ryder is a thrilling zip-line ride<br />
that takes two passengers at a time high<br />
into the Okoboji sky. Soaring to nearly<br />
1,000 feet, the attraction offers its riders<br />
a chance to see all of East Lake from a<br />
rare perspective.<br />
On that particular night, the evening<br />
was breathtaking as the sunset created<br />
a pink and orange sky. Be<strong>for</strong>e enjoying<br />
dinner at Waterfront with my aunt,<br />
uncle and cousins, we all took turns<br />
climbing aboard the Sky Ryder. My<br />
youngest cousin, Ryan, was my copilot.<br />
Although neither of us have a fear<br />
of heights, we both were a little anxious<br />
<strong>for</strong> the initial incline.<br />
Once we were strapped in, the ride<br />
immediately launched to an exciting<br />
speed. With our backs to the peak of<br />
the ride, we never knew when we’d<br />
reach the top. When the cart slowed,<br />
however, the view of East Lake was<br />
stunning. From the Tressle Bridge to<br />
The Narrows, I could see <strong>for</strong> miles.<br />
Even though it looked a small speck, I<br />
could even see my house near Barefoot<br />
Bar.<br />
Within twenty seconds of our pause<br />
at the highest peak, the Sky Ryder<br />
shot us back down gaining speed as<br />
it declined. The pond below our feet<br />
sparkled as the sunlight reflected a<br />
beautiful shade of blue.<br />
When the ride prepared to come to a<br />
halt, my anxiety set in that maybe the ride<br />
wouldn’t stop once it reached the end.<br />
However, the brakes on the wire<br />
propelled us backward and prevented<br />
us from going <strong>for</strong>ward. The feeling of<br />
hitting the brakes gave us both a major<br />
adrenaline rush.<br />
Reflecting on my time in Okoboji is<br />
bittersweet.<br />
I truly had the best summer of my life<br />
tackling countless adventures, meeting<br />
new people and experiencing all the incredible<br />
sights of summer that Okoboji<br />
has to offer. With the Sky Ryder crossed<br />
off my list of adventures to try at the<br />
Iowa Great Lakes, I am so thankful <strong>for</strong><br />
the opportunities Discover! Magazine<br />
has given me to share my adventures<br />
with all the people that love Okoboji as<br />
much as I do. F<br />

Welcome to<br />
Grandpa’s Barn<br />
Clay County Fair offers real<br />
life farming experience<br />
Life on the farm may be everyday<br />
life <strong>for</strong> some Iowans, but it is not<br />
so <strong>for</strong> all the state’s residents.<br />
The Clay County Fair, taking place<br />
Sept. 10-18, is once again offering<br />
people the chance to see what life on<br />
the farm is like at Grandpa’s Barn.<br />
“I strongly feel that one of the most<br />
important things we can do at the fair<br />
each year is provide ag education to<br />
our fairgoers,” said fair manager Jeremy<br />
Parsons. “Since its start in 2010,<br />
Grandpa’s Barn has educated thousands<br />
of people about Iowa’s number<br />
one industry, agriculture.”<br />
Grandpa’s Barn gives kids of all ages<br />
the chance to learn about animals,<br />
crop plots and farm technology.<br />
One of the ways people can experience<br />
farm life is with the AgCab<br />
Simulator, sponsored by the Farm Bureau.<br />
The AgCab allows “fairgoers to<br />
experience being behind the wheel of<br />
one of the largest pieces of machinery<br />
on the farm.” Those behind the wheel<br />
can choose from a variety of tractors<br />
to drive including one from today that<br />
has all the modern bells and whistles<br />
or a tractor from the olden days.<br />
There will be corn and beans as well<br />
as other crops grown in Iowa <strong>for</strong> people<br />
to explore. The plots were planted<br />
back in May so that they would be<br />
ready in time <strong>for</strong> the fair.<br />
In addition to crops and the AgCab,<br />
there will also be many animals that<br />
people will get the chance to see up close.<br />
“People are excited about a variety<br />
of things in Grandpa’s Barn, but baby<br />
animals probably produce the most<br />
excitement,” said Andrea Wiesenmeyer,<br />
the marketing and sponsorship<br />
manager at the Clay County Fair.<br />
There will be peacocks, ostriches,<br />
turkeys, roosters and chickens as well<br />
as a horse, donkey, pot-bellied pig and<br />
sheep. People of all ages can try their<br />
hand at milking a cow with Mabel the<br />
Milker. They’ll be able to learn about<br />
other animals including cows, goats,<br />
piglets and horses.<br />
There will be plenty to do and see at<br />
Grandpa’s Barn this year.<br />
“Even in Iowa, many people do<br />
not have the opportunity to experience<br />
many things that happen on a<br />
working farm. Grandpa’s Barn allows<br />
everyone to see, feel and hear ‘farm<br />
life’ as they venture through the barn,”<br />
said Wiesenmeyer. F<br />

DEBUT<br />
New items vie <strong>for</strong> title of “World’s Greatest County Fair Food”<br />
The Clay County Fair food guide<br />
has an alphabetized list of all<br />
the food categories at this year’s<br />
fair. Starting with apple slices and<br />
concluding with wraps, the guide also<br />
includes such delicious sounding categories<br />
as bacon, barbecue, chocolatecovered,<br />
deep fried, gyros, pie and<br />
much more.<br />
Front and center this year though<br />
will be the “new food” category. A<br />
panel of voters narrowed down a list<br />
of 18 new food items to five finalists.<br />
On the first day of the fair, Saturday,<br />
Sept. 10, three celebrity judges will<br />
conduct a taste test to determine<br />
which item will be dubbed “World’s<br />
Greatest County Fair Food.”<br />
“Food has become so popular and<br />
such a big deal in general at all fairs,”<br />
said Andrea Wiesenmeyer, marketing<br />
and sponsorship manager <strong>for</strong> the Clay<br />
County Fair. “We thought this would<br />
be a fun way to promote food and<br />
get both visitors and vendors excited<br />
about new food.”<br />
Fair manager Jeremy Parsons noted<br />
the importance of food has shown up<br />
in the yearly surveys they conduct at<br />
the fair.<br />
“Food is becoming more and<br />
more imporant,” Parsons said. “The<br />
number one reason people say they<br />
visit the fair is still ‘family time and<br />
tradition’ but food has jumped from<br />
number five to number two over the<br />
past five years.”<br />
The celebrity judges tasked with determined<br />
the “World’s Greatest County<br />
Fair Food” will be Spencer Main Street<br />
director and <strong>for</strong>mer KSFY morning anchor<br />
Nancy Naeve, KCAU news anchor<br />
Tim Seaman and Rhonda Wedeking,<br />
brand manager <strong>for</strong> KICD.<br />
The food they will be tasting<br />
include the Mini Choco Pie from<br />
Original Minneapple Pie, a chocolate<br />
pie deep fried to warm perfection and<br />
topped with ice cream will satisfy any<br />
sweet tooth.<br />
There is also the Terranza from<br />
Spencer Dream Center, which is a<br />
version of the Nebraska beef-filled<br />
sandwich with a signature seasoning,<br />
cabbage and onions.<br />
Julie’s Diner offers up the Breakfast<br />
Bowl with hash browns, a scrambled<br />
or fried egg, a choice of meat (bacon,<br />
ham or sausage), shredded cheese,<br />
green pepper, onion, topped with<br />
white gravy.<br />
Spam Curds are cheese-flavored<br />
Spam that has been cubed, battered<br />
and deep-fried, and served with a side<br />
of ranch dressing.<br />
Rounding out the five finalists are<br />
the Jumbo Stuffed Crab Tots from<br />
McLellan’s Concessions. They consist<br />
of seasoned potatoes stuffed with<br />
lump crab meat, shredded cheddar<br />
cheese, sour cream and mozzarella<br />
cheese deep-fried until golden brown.<br />
“Uniqueness was part of the criteria<br />
and they’re definitely all unique in<br />
their own way,” Wiesenmeyer said.<br />
All five of the finalists will have<br />
large blue ribbons on their vendor<br />
booths to make them easily identifiable<br />
<strong>for</strong> visitors.<br />
Mini Choco Pie. Terranza. Breakfast<br />
Bowl. Spam Curds. Jumbo Stuffed<br />
Crab Tots. Sounds like a delicious way<br />
to enjoy some “Blue Ribbon Fun” at<br />
this year’s Clay County Fair. F<br />

Of a Different Note<br />
Award-winning Dutch organist to per<strong>for</strong>m in five cities<br />
Organ music may have slipped<br />
down the scales in terms of<br />
popularity over the recent decades,<br />
but music lovers in N’West Iowa<br />
are hoping to bring organ music back.<br />
Arjan Breukhoven, an award-winning<br />
organist from The Netherlands,<br />
will be per<strong>for</strong>ming a number of concerts<br />
and workshops in Orange City,<br />
Sioux Center, Sioux City and Sioux<br />
Falls from Sept. 10-18.<br />
Breukhoven has never per<strong>for</strong>med in<br />
the U.S., but that will all change thanks<br />
to the Van Marel family who heard<br />
Breukhoven play organ while they<br />
were on vacation in The Netherlands.<br />
“A highlight of our two-week tour,”<br />
said Carl Van Marel, “was attending<br />
the worship service at the last church<br />
where our van der Marel ancestors<br />
worshipped be<strong>for</strong>e emigrating. Arjan<br />
Breukhoven is the organist at this<br />
280-year-old church in Berkel en<br />
Rodenrijs.”<br />
They started working on bringing<br />
Breukhoven to N’West Iowa and<br />
South Dakota.<br />
The residency of Breukhoven is<br />
a collaboration between several<br />
churches, plus Orange City and Sioux<br />
Center Arts and Northwestern and<br />
Dordt Colleges. His tour includes<br />
per<strong>for</strong>mances at Northwestern College<br />
Chapel in Orange City, B.J. Haan<br />
Auditorium in Sioux Center, Our Savior’s<br />
Lutheran Church in Sioux Falls,<br />
Cathedral of the Epiphany in Sioux<br />
City, and Immaculate Conception<br />
Church in Cherokee.<br />
While this is Breukhoven’s first trip<br />
to the U.S., traveling and per<strong>for</strong>ming<br />
is not something new to this seasoned<br />
musician.<br />
“This is the first time that I will give<br />
concerts in the U.S.A. This time I will<br />
come to Iowa and South Dakota, and<br />
in May 2017, I’ll go to Michigan and<br />
Tennessee <strong>for</strong> concerts. But playing<br />
abroad is quite normal,” Breukhoven<br />
said. “Each year I play in many different<br />
countries around the world. Last<br />
year I had concert tours in western Australia,<br />
Russia, France and Germany.”<br />
Born in Rotterdam, Breukhoven<br />
studied organ and church music, plus<br />
piano, vocal, improvisation and choir<br />
direction, at the Royal Conservatory<br />
in The Hague. Since then, he has developed<br />
his own wide-ranging style<br />
of improvisation. Today, Breukhoven<br />
gives 450 concerts and church services<br />
annually.<br />
In 2014, Breukhoven was awarded<br />
the ‘Médaille d’Argent’ (silver<br />
medal) by the ‘Société Académique<br />
d’Encouragement et d’Education-Arts,<br />
Sciences et Lettres’ in Paris, because<br />
of his expertise in per<strong>for</strong>ming French<br />
organ music.<br />
Even though Breukhoven will be<br />
per<strong>for</strong>ming a number of concerts, his<br />
plan is to make each of them unique.<br />
“I am trying to make each concert<br />
totally different programs because I<br />
heard that there is the possibility that<br />
people will come to more than one<br />
concert and I don’t want them to hear<br />
the same music each evening. I have<br />
a big suitcase <strong>for</strong> my music books,”<br />
Breukhoven said. “My hope <strong>for</strong> the<br />
concerts is that we can share an evening<br />
with beautiful music. I also want<br />
to touch people deeply, emotionally.”<br />
Breukhoven is certainly excited<br />
about per<strong>for</strong>ming a series of concerts<br />
in the United States, but he’s even<br />
more excited to meet the people and<br />
experience the culture.<br />
“When I’m abroad I want to<br />
connect with the people, with the<br />
culture, with the land,” Breukhoven<br />
said. “It’s great to stay with people<br />
and not in hotels so you can learn<br />
a lot of beautiful things about the<br />
country. I hope I have time <strong>for</strong> that<br />
between concerts.” F<br />

Grape stomp<br />
Fall is here, whether we’re happy<br />
about it or not, but the folks at<br />
Round Lake Vineyards and Winery<br />
are working to give you a reason to<br />
celebrate the new season.<br />
For the second year, they will be<br />
hosting a Grape Stomp on Saturday,<br />
Sept. 10. The event kicks off at 11 a.m.<br />
and the Grape Stomp will take place<br />
from 2-6 p.m.<br />
Teams of two people will sign up to<br />
participate in the Grape Stomp competition.<br />
And it’s not just a fun thing<br />
to participate in, it’s a very fun thing to<br />
watch.<br />
“It’s a two-minute timed competition<br />
where they try to get the most<br />
juice out of the grapes by stomping<br />
their feet,” said Heidi Petersen, the<br />
account manager <strong>for</strong> marketing at<br />
Round Lake Vineyards and Winery.<br />
“Then we’ll measure the liquid. We’ll<br />
have different heats throughout the<br />
day and we’ll award the first, second<br />
and third place teams with a medal<br />
<strong>for</strong> their ef<strong>for</strong>ts.”<br />
They won’t be judging the Grape<br />
Stomp simply on how much juice is<br />
extracted, they’ll also be giving prizes<br />
<strong>for</strong> the team with the best costumes<br />
and the team with the best name.<br />
The grapes that are all ready to be<br />
crushed are bluebells that were grown<br />
specifically by Round Lake Vineyards<br />
and Winery <strong>for</strong> the Grape Stomp<br />
event.<br />
Last year, there were 45 teams who<br />
stomped 1,750 pounds of grapes and<br />
Round Lake Vineyards and<br />
Winery hosts stomping event<br />
the organizers are excited to see how<br />
many grapes they go through this<br />
year.<br />
If you are interested if participating<br />
in the Grape Stomp you can register<br />
either by calling Round Lake Vineyards<br />
and Winery or by checking out<br />
their website.<br />
For those who aren’t as excited<br />
about the idea of pulling a Lucille<br />
Ball and stomping grapes, there will<br />
be lots of other exciting things to do<br />
during the Grape Stomp.<br />
Things will kick off at 11 a.m. with<br />
music from Fishing <strong>for</strong> Olives and<br />
then the band DNR.<br />
There will also be a number of<br />
vendors on hand with their wares. As<br />
of right now there are 25-30 vendors<br />
signed up but the organizers are leaving<br />
spaces open so even more vendors<br />
can sign up.<br />
There will be a few food vendors<br />
in addition to the winery’s own food<br />
truck called The Bistro. They will also<br />
be selling wine and they’ll have a beer<br />
tent.<br />
The cost is $5 to come to the event,<br />
but the first 250 people will receive a<br />
free wine glass.<br />
“It’s going to be a smashing good<br />
time,” Petersen said. “I’m just really<br />
excited to see how creative people are<br />
with their team names and their costumes.<br />
The vineyard is such a beautiful<br />
place and it’s nice to see people<br />
having fun and enjoying themselves<br />
in this place.” F<br />
