Side Trips<br />

I<br />

ran into an old friend in downtown Sheldon<br />

yesterday. “Did you get to the fair<br />

yet,” I asked, knowing we have often run<br />

into her and her husband while we toured<br />

the Clay County Fair<br />

commercial buildings<br />

in previous years.<br />

“Oh yes, on opening<br />

day,” she said. “But we<br />

need to go back.”<br />

Turns out it was a<br />

larger family outing<br />

<strong>for</strong> the first trip to the<br />

fair, and with that<br />

many people to keep<br />

content, she hadn’t<br />

gotten to see and do<br />

all the things that are<br />

MYRNA<br />

WAGNER<br />

on her personal list of favorites. I had that<br />

experience once when we met up with<br />

members of my extended family.<br />

But I loved her solution — go twice!<br />

We don’t have that many weekend days<br />

free this year, so we will only get their one<br />

time, and right now it looks like that will<br />

be the final day. It’s a gamble going on the<br />

last day as they may not be good stuff left to<br />

buy. I always find new, interesting, helpful<br />

or tasty products we must have.<br />

I start the day with a large, nearly empty<br />

shoulder bag. By the time we leave it is<br />

loaded with treasures. A few times the<br />

purchases haven’t fit — the year I bought<br />

a steam mop, <strong>for</strong> example, or the year my<br />

husband convinced me to buy the Vita-Mix<br />

(best blender E V E R) — so we’ve had to<br />

double back <strong>for</strong> them be<strong>for</strong>e returning to<br />

our parked car. Personalized Christmas ornaments,<br />

nail polish detail pens, soup and<br />

dip mixes and a sham-wow were easy to fit<br />

in my tote.<br />

I wonder sometimes if the strollers and<br />

Iowa motorized In<strong>for</strong>mation<br />

PUBLISHERS AND PRINTERS scooters are <strong>for</strong> the passengers or<br />

the purchases?<br />

Sure hope you find time to get to the fair.<br />

Popcorn:<br />

Solsma’s Ruby Red Popcorn is<br />

a smaller kernel popcorn that<br />

pops bright white with small<br />

red hull speckles. It has a rich<br />

nutty flavor. Raised with love on<br />

the Solsma’s very own farm in<br />

northwest Iowa. Shipping available<br />

in the continental US.<br />

They have also added Mardi<br />

Gras Popcorn. It is a dark blue<br />

kernel popcorn with higher expanding,<br />

tender flakes. It is the<br />

perfect compliment to their Ruby<br />

Red Popcorn.<br />

Pumpkins, corn and gourds, oh<br />

my! Solsma’s Punkin Patch in<br />

Sanborn is celebrating 17 years<br />

of helping people usher in the autumn<br />

season with their selection of<br />

pumpkins, gourds, corn and so much<br />

more.<br />

The idea behind Solsma’s Punkin<br />

Patch came from a time when Amy<br />

Solsma was very young.<br />

“I grew up on a farm by Newkirk<br />

and we had a little garden that we<br />

would plant some pumpkins in and<br />

we would set them out by the road<br />

and the neighbors would stop and<br />

pay a dime or a nickel,” Amy said.<br />

“One year, the Orange City paper put<br />

my sister and I with our pumpkins<br />

in the paper and we made $24. We<br />

thought that was pretty big stuff.”<br />

Fast <strong>for</strong>ward to 1999. Amy got married<br />

and moved to Sanborn with her<br />

husband and they had a family. One<br />

year, when they were planting corn<br />

they <strong>for</strong>got to go back and plant one<br />

area of skip rows. They filled in by<br />

planting Indian Corn and pumpkins,<br />

whose vines would wind their way<br />

between the rows..<br />

“We got a golf cart trailer load that<br />

we sold and that was our first load,”<br />

Amy said.<br />

They’ve been doing it ever since.<br />

Now they are up to five acres of<br />

pumpkins, but they also grow gourds<br />

and Ruby Red popcorn, and they have<br />

a corn maze and a country store.<br />

The country store sells the Solsma’s<br />

own home raised, drug free Here<strong>for</strong>d<br />

beef, as well as their Ruby Red and<br />

Mardi Gras popcorn, crafts, fall decor<br />

pieces and wine from Country Barn<br />

Winery. In fact, they’ll be having a<br />

wine tasting at the Punkin Patch on<br />

Sunday, Sept. 25 from 1-5 p.m.<br />

The corn maze is in a different<br />

shape every year so it’s something that<br />

people can keep returning to year after<br />

year to have a new, fun and different<br />

experience. The cost is $5 per person.<br />

The pumpkins have had a good<br />

year, and Amy can’t wait to share<br />

some of her favorites with the people<br />

who come by and stop in at Solsma’s<br />

Punkin Patch.<br />

“We have 70 varieties this year and<br />

some cool new ones. I planted seven<br />

kinds of white ones and I like six of<br />

the seven,” Amy said. “We also have<br />

some interesting squash varieties<br />

that I wouldn’t eat but that look very<br />

cool.”<br />

In addition to picking out the perfect<br />

pumpkin, whether that be <strong>for</strong><br />

eating or <strong>for</strong> carving, the Solsma’s<br />

have a wide variety of pumpkins in all<br />

shapes, sizes and colors this year.<br />

They also have some entertaining<br />

things <strong>for</strong> the kids. There is a bouncy<br />

house outdoors and a corn playpen<br />

inside <strong>for</strong> the kids to enjoy.<br />

The Solsmas officially opened the<br />

Punkin Patch on Labor Day this year<br />

and they can’t wait to share all their<br />

hard work with the people who stop<br />

in.<br />

“I’m really excited because I have a<br />

really neat crop and really interesting<br />

new things. It’s so fun to see your hard<br />

work come to fruition,” Amy said.<br />

“We didn’t have hail or anthing so<br />

everything looks really nice and it’s<br />

been fun educating people on all the<br />

different kinds of pumpkins, gourds<br />

and squash.” F<br />

OCTOBERFEST<br />

AT WEST O<br />

Brewery and tap room hosts WestOberfest<br />

The beer and the atmosphere.<br />

That’s what it’s all about, according<br />

to West O Beer owner<br />

Matt Matthiesen. The brewery will be<br />

hosting its own version of Octoberfest<br />

celebrations with WestOberfest on<br />

Saturday, Sept. 24.<br />

“It started out as something real<br />

simple and each year we’ve put a little<br />

more into it,” Matthiesen said.<br />

The tap room opens at noon and<br />

50 commemorative beer steins will be<br />

available <strong>for</strong> $5 and can be filled <strong>for</strong><br />

just $3 throughout the day.<br />

There will be brewery tours at 2<br />

p.m. and 4 p.m. as well as games like<br />

hammerschlagen, bags and a keg toss<br />

from 2-4 p.m. outside near the beer<br />

garden.<br />

As to why the brewery began hosting<br />

its own version of Octoberfest in<br />

the first place, it’s really quite simple.<br />

“It’s a combination of a couple<br />

things. We’re really proud of our<br />

WestOfest beer and my wife and I<br />

both have German heritage so we<br />

thought it’d be a good match,” Matthiesen<br />

said.<br />

The WestOfest is a Marzen-style<br />

lager that is described on the West<br />

O website as “Copper color, creamy<br />

white head, and biscuit aromas from<br />

kilned malts and a hint of caramel.<br />

Slight hop aroma from a late kettle<br />

addition of Mt. Hood hops.”<br />

In addition to the WestOFest, there<br />

will be several other beers on tap as<br />

well as Sutliff hard cider and 1919<br />

Root Beer. The Iowa Wild Hogs BBQ<br />

food truck will be on hand to feed any<br />

hungry visitors to the brewery.<br />

In the evening things kick up a<br />

notch with live music from King of<br />

the Tramps from 7-10 p.m. inside the<br />

tap room.<br />

“We’ve had them several times be<strong>for</strong>e<br />

and they do a really good job,”<br />

Matthiesen said. “You can tell they<br />

have fun per<strong>for</strong>ming and they put on<br />

a great show.”<br />

Good music, good food and good<br />

beer. What better way could there be<br />

to celebrate Oktoberfest in Okoboji?<br />

Really in the end it all boils down to<br />

two things <strong>for</strong> Matthiesen.<br />

“The top two things <strong>for</strong> us are the<br />

beer and the atmosphere,” Matthiesen<br />

said. “We focus on creating quality<br />

beer and having an atmosphere where<br />

people are able to enjoy it.”<br />

Get there early, grab a stein while<br />

you can, and ring in WestOberfest<br />

with the folks that know beer best. F<br />

FANTASTIC FALL<br />

KATE HARLOW | STAFF WRITER<br />

Ready, set,<br />

GLOW<br />

The organizers of Alton’s 4th annual Glow<br />

Run are inviting one and all to get their<br />

glow on.<br />

At this unique, after dark 5K Fun Run or<br />

1-mile walk, participants are encouraged to wear<br />

things that glow in the dark.<br />

The annual Glow Run and Street Dance is<br />

scheduled <strong>for</strong> Saturday, Sept. 24. The fun gets<br />

started as the sun begins to set. Beginning at 6<br />

p.m., there will be a bouncy house, face painting,<br />

crazy hair painting, temporary tattoos and<br />

other fun activities <strong>for</strong> kids. There will also be<br />

more “glowing” merchan<strong>dis</strong>e available at the<br />

Glow Tent, which will be set up in front of 10th<br />

Street Pub.<br />

All of these activities will take place until<br />

around 7:30 p.m.<br />

Then it’s time to race.<br />

The 5K or 1-mile Run and Walk gets started<br />

at 8 p.m., and the race is not timed. Both of the<br />

routes take participants through the streets of<br />

Alton.<br />

“There will be glow paint that we will paint<br />

on the street to mark the route,” said TIffany Leibold,<br />

one of the event’s organizers, in the past.<br />

“We will also be using water bottles with glow<br />

sticks in them. Anyone in Alton who lives on the<br />

path has been asked to light up their yard.”<br />

It’s certainly a fun sight to see all of the people<br />

“glowed” up and this year they are asking people<br />

to dress up according to their “Glow Like a Super<br />

Hero” theme. So be a radioactive Spiderman or a<br />

glow-in-the-dark Cat Woman. There are endless<br />

opportunities to glow like a super hero.<br />

In general, the idea is to glow.<br />

“Anything from shoelaces to headbands or<br />

even wearing glow sticks. People can dress themselves<br />

in anything that glows in the dark,” said<br />

Leibold in the past. “People can get as crazy as<br />

they want. It’s all about having fun.”<br />

The event is geared toward raising funds <strong>for</strong><br />

AIM, which has donated part of its proceeds to<br />

the Alton East Side Park Renovations.<br />

After everyone crosses the finish line then it’s<br />

RIDE INTO<br />

OCTOBER<br />

U of O wraps up 2016 schedule with Oktoberfest Bike Ride<br />

This 27-mile ride has a 22-mile<br />

option and is entering its 25th<br />

year. The University of Okoboji<br />

Oktoberfest Bike Ride celebrates a<br />

quarter century of rides around West<br />

Lake Okoboji.<br />

Beginning at Arrowwood Resort<br />

and Conference Center in Okoboji,<br />

riders will make a counterclockwise<br />

loop around West Lake Okoboji with<br />

various stops along the way.<br />

“This is the 25th year and a big<br />

change is opening things up more<br />

to non-riders and spreading things<br />

throughout the community,” ride director<br />

Ken Hanson said.<br />

Restaurants and bars such as Minerva’s,<br />

The Ritz, Okoboji Store, Barefoot<br />

Bar, The Gardens, and Pub 19<br />

will have various food and beverage<br />

specials going on throughout the day<br />

<strong>for</strong> everyone.<br />

There also will be a West O Beer<br />

rendezvous along the route. Participants<br />

wearing their ride shirts will be<br />

able to take advantage of even more<br />

specials.<br />

“It’s Oktoberfest, which is all about<br />

getting together, good eats and drinks<br />

and having a good time,” Hanson<br />

said. “We’ve concentrated most of the<br />

stops towards the end of the ride to<br />

ensure a safer ride <strong>for</strong> everyone.”<br />

To take advantage of the specials<br />

riders should wear the official longsleeve<br />

ride T-shirt, which comes with<br />

the registration fee of $30 if signed<br />

up be<strong>for</strong>e Sept. 19. The price <strong>for</strong> the<br />

ride increaseS to $35 up through the<br />

morning of the event.<br />

Hanson said about 500 riders<br />

signed up last year and he’s expecting<br />

as many, if not more, this year.<br />

He’s also encouraging participants<br />

to follow the race on Twitter <strong>for</strong> trail<br />

detours, weather updates and other<br />

event communication.<br />

Many of the riders, both local and<br />

out-of-state, have been coming back<br />

to the Iowa Great Lakes area <strong>for</strong> this<br />

fall ride almost every year.<br />

“We just had people from Joplin,<br />

MO, sign up and I’ve seen a name<br />

from Cali<strong>for</strong>nia on the list already,”<br />

Hanson said. “It’s pretty fun to see<br />

what a great core of people we have<br />

that return every year, including some<br />

that have been here 10-20 years in a<br />

row.”<br />

Hanson chalks up the longstanding<br />

tradition of the ride to a couple<br />

things; the University of Okoboji and<br />

the trails system.<br />

“We’re so blessed to have the trails<br />

we do and they certainly get used a<br />

lot. And obviously whenever you say<br />

University of Okoboji be<strong>for</strong>e something<br />

it has a certain cachet to it,”<br />

Hanson said. “It’s a tradition deeply<br />

rooted in the resort community and<br />

all the visitors love to participate.”<br />

Riders of all ages can enjoy the<br />

event. Hanson said he’s seen someone<br />

sign up with their ten-year-old, as well<br />

as local groups that always bring their<br />

kids and riders all the way past 70<br />

years of age.<br />

Whatever age the rider and however<br />

many stops they make along the way,<br />

there is a shortcut available once they<br />

make it past the Trestle Bridge into<br />

Okoboji.<br />

Instead of making their way along<br />

scenic Lakeshore Drive they can follow<br />

the highway back to Arrowwood<br />

cutting off about five miles of the<br />

total.<br />

Take the shortcut or ride the whole<br />

route. Either way there will be plenty<br />

<strong>for</strong> everyone to enjoy during the 25th<br />

Annual University of Okoboji Oktoberfest<br />

Bike Ride. F

You might not think that German<br />

food, beer and games go<br />

hand in hand with palm trees<br />

and a tiki bar, but that simply means<br />

you haven’t attended Oct-Tiki-fest at<br />

the Barefoot Bar in Okoboji.<br />

This is the second year that the Barefoot<br />

Bar will be hosting this new fall<br />

tradition. This year’s event will take<br />

place on Saturday, Sept. 24, and it is<br />

set to start at 4 p.m.<br />

Last year the event was held in<br />

conjunction with the last Full Moon<br />

Party of the season, but this year they<br />

decided to make Oct-Tiki-Fest its very<br />

own event.<br />

“We will have a beer garden with<br />

KATE HARLOW | STAFF WRITER<br />

Oct-Tiki-Fest<br />

Barefoot Bar hosts Octoberfest<br />

local beer and Oktoberfest beers. We<br />

have German inspired food, like pretzels,<br />

brats, kraut and German potato<br />

salad,” said Debbie Parks, the marketing<br />

director <strong>for</strong> Parks Marina. “We<br />

have hammerschlagen, and polka<br />

music. Events start at 4 p.m. with the<br />

Polka Police, followed by the Mighty<br />

Nish Band at 6 p.m.”<br />

The Oktoberfest style beer is coming<br />

from two different sources, according<br />

to Parks. West O Beer is making an<br />

Oktoberfest Beer and Summit Brewing<br />

will also be supplying the other<br />

Oktoberfest style brew.<br />

In addition to some yummy German-style<br />

beer and food, there will<br />

also be German games to try your<br />

hand at.<br />

“Hammerschlagen is a German<br />

game reportedly dating from 1940,<br />

in which several contestants try to<br />

hammer a nail into a stump,” said<br />

Parks.<br />

Hammerschlagen<br />

(‘Hammer-Striking’) is a variation of<br />

Nailspielen (‘Nail Game” or “Playing<br />

With Nails’). Both versions are<br />

essentially the same, Nailspielen is<br />

played with an axe, Hammerschlagen<br />

is played with a hammer. Nailspielen<br />

made its way to the United States in<br />

the mid-twentieth century. A commercial<br />

version was established and<br />

named ‘Hammerschlagen.’”<br />

“The Hospital with a Heart”<br />

Oct-Tiki-Fest is officially the last big<br />

party of the season at the Barefoot and<br />

Parks can’t wait to have one more fun<br />

event be<strong>for</strong>e closing <strong>for</strong> the season.<br />

“We would extend the season as<br />

long as we can, but inevitably mother<br />

nature usually overrules us. We are<br />

just hoping <strong>for</strong> great weather so we<br />

have one more excuse to hang out at<br />

the Tiki Bar,” Parks said. F<br />

More:<br />

Oktoberfest is the world’s<br />

largest Volksfest (beer festival<br />

and travelling funfair). Held<br />

annually in Munich, Bavaria,<br />

Germany, it is a 16- to 18-day folk<br />

festival running from mid or late<br />

September to the first weekend in<br />

October, with more than 6 million<br />

people from around the world<br />

attending the event every year.<br />

Locally, it is often called<br />

the Wiesn, after the colloquial<br />

name <strong>for</strong> the fairgrounds<br />

(Theresienwiese). The Oktoberfest<br />

is an important part of Bavarian<br />

culture, having been held since<br />

1810. Other cities across the<br />

world also hold Oktoberfest<br />

celebrations that are modeled<br />

after the original Munich event.<br />

Gallery <strong>for</strong> Emerging Artists from<br />

Sept. 8-Nov. 12<br />

Artist Kimble Bromley presents The Moby Dick Series<br />

Kimble Bromley has a unique<br />

approach to his art; hypnosis. A<br />

professor of painting and drawing<br />

at North Dakota State University<br />

in Fargo, Bromley has long studied<br />

the relationship between hypnosis<br />

and creativity. And that creativity is<br />

on <strong>dis</strong>play starting this month at the<br />

Pearson Lakes Art Center in Okoboji.<br />

The Moby Dick Series: Works by<br />

Kimble Bromley is up from Sept.<br />

1-Nov. 12 in the Monte Pearson Gallery.<br />

“Bromley is an internationally acclaimed<br />

hypnotist as well as an artist<br />

and talks about the ability of hypnotism<br />

to induce a creative state<br />

and paint more freely,” said Britney<br />

Hansen, visual arts director at the<br />

Pearson Lakes Art Center. “His work<br />

is abstract and large scale with broad<br />

movements, color and a sense of playfulness.<br />

He also captures movement<br />

very well.”<br />

This current series is based on the<br />

1851 Herman Melville novel “Moby-<br />

Dick; or, The Whale” and includes oil<br />

on canvas paintings completed from<br />

2009-2016.<br />

“He’s still building on the series,<br />

which is abstract but has recognizable<br />

elements throughout that people will<br />

know,” Hansen said.<br />

Maybe it’s harpoons in one painting,<br />

or a set of ships on another. Most<br />

obvious is probably the white whale<br />

skeleton set against a red background<br />

in the largest painting of the series.<br />

That particular piece is made of<br />

three separate panels and measures<br />

approximately six feet by twelve feet.<br />

“Scale makes a difference and<br />

Bromley talked about how it allows<br />

the opportunity to explore things differently,”<br />

Hansen said.<br />

Hansen was able to explore things<br />

as well in setting up the exhibit as<br />

Bromley simpley dropped of the work<br />

and told her to “go to town” while<br />

hanging them up.<br />

“It was certainly fun to do. We created<br />

the panels with colors to have<br />

an ocean-like feel and it’s something<br />

where the artist gets to see their work<br />

from a different perspective in a gallery<br />

space they might not have seen<br />

otherwise.”<br />

Anyone interested in adding a piece<br />

to their art collection simply needs to<br />

inquire <strong>for</strong> a price list as all the pieces,<br />

from large to largest, are <strong>for</strong> sale.<br />

Bromley also will be holding a<br />

workshop at the art center at a date<br />

to be determined that will delve into<br />

the subject of hypnosis and includes<br />

guided drawing sessions.<br />

Dive into the Melville-inspired<br />

series by Kimble Bromley from now<br />

through Nov. 12 at the Pearson Lakes<br />

Art Center. Altogether they tell a<br />

whale of a tale. F<br />
