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 />

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 />

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 />
