Side Trips<br />
From haunted houses to fright hikes,<br />
this issue is all about celebrating Halloween.<br />
I have a tendency to skip Halloween and<br />
just celebrate fall in<br />
general. There are several<br />
reasons <strong>for</strong> that.<br />
#1: The seasons pass<br />
too quickly <strong>for</strong> me to<br />
decorate <strong>for</strong> both, so<br />
I do pumpkins and<br />
colorful leaves, not<br />
jack-o-lanterns and<br />
witches.<br />
#2: Having candy in<br />
the house is a temptation<br />
I can do without.<br />
My husband and I<br />
MYRNA<br />
WAGNER<br />
were in the grocery store over the weekend<br />
and paused <strong>for</strong> a moment in front of the<br />
bags of Halloween candy. Looking at each<br />
other and remembering that we get very few<br />
trick-or-treaters, we passed on the candy. He<br />
and I would have been the ones eating it,<br />
not the little princesses and super heroes.<br />
#3. I hate to be scared. I don’t like haunted<br />
houses, and horror movies terrify me. I<br />
naively went to the theatre <strong>for</strong> “Silence of<br />
the Lambs” 20-plus years ago and I’ve never<br />
recovered. I am also extremely easy to scare<br />
— walk up behind me and if I don’t hear<br />
you coming I will literally jump. My kids<br />
and husband can all vouch <strong>for</strong> me on that<br />
one.<br />
There are lots of things I love about this<br />
time of year, though. The brilliant colors<br />
of the leaves. The crispness in the air. The<br />
smell of harvest. The color of the moon.<br />
Making soups, stew and chili. And pumpkins.<br />
I came across a recipe last night that combines<br />
them both — pumpkin soup with<br />
Iowa corn, In<strong>for</strong>mation<br />
PUBLISHERS AND chipotle PRINTERS and sausage. Can’t wait to try<br />
it.<br />

RYLAN HOWE | STAFF WRITER<br />
Spirit of the season<br />
Rolling Oaks to host Boo Bash<br />
Halloween means many<br />
things to many people.<br />
Candy. Costumes. A few<br />
good scares. The falling leaves<br />
and changing colors of autumn.<br />
And, of course, several<br />
events to commemorate all of<br />
the above.<br />
The newly renovated Rolling<br />
Oaks Barn is stepping into the<br />
Halloween fun with its inaugural<br />
Boo Bash at the Barn.<br />
The children’s Halloween<br />
party will be held Thursday,<br />
Oct. 27, from 5-6:30 p.m. at<br />
the barn on the hill in Spirit<br />
Lake.<br />
It’s a free family event and<br />
area businesses are invited to<br />
set up with activities, candy<br />
and prizes <strong>for</strong> everyone who<br />
attends.<br />
“It should be really fun, we’re<br />
encouraging everyone to come<br />
in costumes and <strong>for</strong> the kids to<br />
bring their trick-or-treat pails,”<br />
said Jen Johnson-Ross, owner<br />
of Farm Girl Social Media Management.<br />
Of the businesses already<br />
signed up to help provide some<br />
Halloween fun, Johnson-Ross<br />
mentioned Creative Spirits will<br />
hold a painting class <strong>for</strong> $10<br />
while Ingvall Real Estate Team,<br />
Liberty National Bank, Good<br />
Samaritan Society, Pizza Ranch<br />
and Kurio Kastle are also ready<br />
to host activities and hand out<br />
candy.<br />
Businesses still interested in<br />
joining the fun need only contact<br />
Johnson-Ross or Rolling<br />
Oaks Barn to sign up.<br />
Businesses with cars or trucks<br />
decked out in their signage are<br />
also encourage to set up <strong>for</strong><br />
trick-or-trunk if they want.<br />
“I mean who doesn’t love<br />
Halloween?” Johnson-Ross<br />
said. “This will be a fun event<br />
and in a barn that is a century<br />
old. What they’ve done there<br />
has been spectacular. People<br />
have a lot of curiosity about it<br />
and some area kids have probably<br />
never been in a barn.”<br />
What better place is there<br />
<strong>for</strong> a Halloween event than a<br />
century-old barn?<br />
That’s what the folks at Rolling<br />
Oaks thought and the Boo<br />
Bash is something they hope<br />
becomes an annual event <strong>for</strong><br />
everyone.<br />
“It’s such a beautiful location<br />
and perfect <strong>for</strong> Halloween, so<br />
why not have a bash <strong>for</strong> the<br />
kids?” Johnson-Ross said. F<br />

in<br />
Candy is a major part of Halloween.<br />
In fact, Rock Valley has<br />
named their Halloween celebration<br />
in its honor. Once again this year,<br />
they’ll be hosting their annual Candy<br />
in the Valley event.<br />
Downtown Rock Valley will become<br />
a Halloween para<strong>dis</strong>e <strong>for</strong> kids and<br />
their families on Friday, Oct. 28, from<br />
around 3:30-5:30 p.m.<br />
Candy in the Valley is an event that<br />
has been going on <strong>for</strong> a number of<br />
years and is always a treat <strong>for</strong> both the<br />
families who come to the event and<br />
<strong>for</strong> the businesses who participate.<br />
“All the downtown businesses will<br />
have tables or booths set out where<br />
kids can come and get their candy and<br />
there will be sales going on so moms<br />
and dads can do a little shopping,”<br />
said Adam Rosman, the Rock Valley<br />

of the streets closed off and the chamber<br />
will have pumpkins available <strong>for</strong><br />
painting.”<br />
In addition to having the one street<br />
closed off <strong>for</strong> painting pumpkins, the<br />
main street running through downtown<br />
is also closed off so that the kids<br />
who come to collect candy don’t have<br />
to worry about traffic.<br />
The businesses that are downtown<br />
will hand out candy, and, in addition,<br />
other Rock Valley businesses will also<br />
make their way to downtown to set up<br />
more tables or booths.<br />
That way they can be a part of trickor-treat<br />

This is Rosman’s first year with the<br />
Rock Valley Chamber and he is very<br />
excited about experiencing his inaugural<br />
Candy in the Valley event.<br />
“I’m excited that the community<br />
can come out and see downtown and<br />
the growth,” Rosman said.<br />
“We’re going to celebrate the youth<br />
and the energy that you see when<br />
families come out together to enjoy<br />
some cost-efficient fun.” F<br />

Fright<br />
& fun<br />
Sheldon to<br />
host annual<br />
Halloween<br />
event Oct. 29<br />
Daylight is diminishing as darkness<br />
slowly seizes control of the day.<br />
There’s a touch of fall in<br />
the air, a sense of the changing of<br />
the seasons. Leafs briefly turn bright<br />
be<strong>for</strong>e fading and meandering to the<br />
ground in a spiral of death. Tree limbs<br />
grow skeletal, casting bony shadows.<br />
Halloween is approaching. Are you<br />
in the spirit?<br />
The second annual Prairie Arts Historical<br />
Park Halloween Carnival can<br />
help you find your inner spook. The<br />
October fright and fun fest is set <strong>for</strong><br />
1-3 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 29.<br />
The spooktacular event will be held<br />
at the park, located between Casey’s<br />
General Store and Shopko Hometown<br />
on Highway 18 (Park Street).<br />
Admission is free. Popcorn and hot<br />
chocolate will be sold at a concession<br />
stand.<br />
“Last year we had the honor and<br />
pleasure of having 300-plus children<br />
partake in our Halloween fun,” said<br />
Prairie Arts Historical Park Board<br />
member Karin Vanden Berg.<br />
“Again we are asking <strong>for</strong> donations<br />
to make this year even bigger and<br />
better than last year,” she said. “We<br />
would like to add a kids’ Ferris wheel<br />
this year, and hopefully a petting zoo<br />
<strong>for</strong> the kids.”<br />
Donations are needed to purchase<br />
prizes and cover other expenses. The<br />
carnival raised $600 last year in just a<br />
few weeks but has set its sights higher.<br />
Volunteers are needed to set up, tear<br />
down and help during the carnival.<br />
Last year, Sheldon mayor Katricia<br />
Meendering, who also is a park board<br />
member as well as Vanden Berg’s<br />
daughter, donned a costume and read<br />
kids’ <strong>for</strong>tunes.<br />
“Let us know you want to be a part<br />
of making this another great event <strong>for</strong><br />
the kids,” Vanden Berg said. “The more<br />
volunteers there are, the easier it is.” F<br />

Kids on parade<br />
Rock Rapids to host Halloween Parade<br />
At a Glance:<br />
On Halloween Day in downtown<br />
Rock Rapids there will be a sight<br />
to see.<br />
Ghosts and goblins, pumpkins and<br />
princesses will be on parade.<br />
Rock Rapids will once again be<br />
hosting its annual Halloween Parade<br />
on Monday, Oct. 31, at 4 p.m. Kids of<br />
all ages from all over N’West Iowa are<br />
invited to come to Rock Rapids and<br />
participate in this fun tradition.<br />
The fun starts in the Sunshine<br />
Foods parking lot at 4 p.m. and then<br />
the parade of costumed little kiddies<br />
heads east down First Avenue and<br />
then crosses to the other side of the<br />
street and comes back to the parking<br />
lot where it started.<br />
Parents are invited to come along<br />
<strong>for</strong> the parade to watch their kids,<br />
help them cross streets and gather<br />
candy.<br />
Businesses will have people to hand<br />
out candy outside their doors. And they<br />
have to have a lot of candy on hand.<br />
“We usually have about 600 kids<br />
and we have kids of all ages. We don’t<br />

<strong>for</strong> the Halloween Parade every<br />
year and every year she’s excited to see<br />
all the different costumes.<br />
“Seeing the kids in their costumes<br />
is my favorite part. I love seeing what<br />
the popular costume would be that<br />
particular year,” Jager said. “The past<br />
couple of years we’ve had a lot of ‘Frozen’<br />
characters. Lots of Annas, Elsas,<br />
and Olafs. I don’t know what we’ll<br />
see this year, but I’m excited to see the<br />
kids dressed up again.” F<br />

Hike full of<br />
Fright<br />
Estherville to host hike through Fort Defiance State Park<br />
Halloween is the one time of the<br />
year when people are looking to<br />
be scared just <strong>for</strong> the fun of it.<br />
The Estherville Chamber of Commerce<br />
has got you covered.<br />
For the fourth year, they’ll be hosting<br />
their Fright Hike through Fort<br />
Defiance State Park on Saturday, Oct.<br />
29, from 6-9:30 p.m.<br />
“The Fright Hike is a half-mile<br />
haunted hike through Fort Defiance<br />
State Park, and it’s a little more special<br />
than your average run-of-the-mill<br />
haunted house,” said Lexie Ruter, the<br />
executive director of the Estherville<br />
Chamber of Commerce. “The setting<br />
is in the woods so it’s already a little<br />
scary and then we add even more<br />
scary.”<br />
According to Ruter, they add the<br />
scary in a lot of different ways from<br />
the scenes they set to the costumes the<br />
volunteers wear and the sounds hikers<br />
will hear.<br />
“We do different little stations like<br />
a cemetery and we built a tunnel that<br />
you have to go through. We have characters<br />
running around scaring people,<br />
some of whom will be carrying chainsaws,”<br />
Ruter said. “We don’t have to<br />
build the surrounding, because we’re<br />
in the woods and that’s a good base<br />
there, but we add music, lights, people<br />
and sets.”<br />
They do all of this, build the scenes<br />
and get all dressed up, <strong>for</strong> just one<br />
night of fun. As <strong>for</strong> the scary characters,<br />
this year, due to recent events,<br />
there won’t be any clowns.<br />
“We’ve had some concerns in the<br />
area about the crazy clown situation<br />
so we just want to let people know<br />
that we won’t have any clowns at this<br />
event,” Ruter said. “We have police<br />
reserves who will be monitoring the<br />
entire event, so people should feel like<br />
this is still a safe event.”<br />
The Fright Hike takes about 40<br />
volunteers to run and the event has<br />
continued to grow in popularity since<br />
it first got it’s start. Last year, they had<br />
750 people go through the Fright<br />
Hike.<br />
“The first year we had 500 people<br />
come out. We were hoping <strong>for</strong> 100,”<br />
Ruter said with a laugh. “It was crazy<br />
and we’re just so excited that it is continuing<br />
to grow.”<br />
Because they serve such a big<br />
number of people and they prefer to<br />
have participants go through in small<br />
groups, they have added one more<br />
hour to this year’s Fright Hike.<br />
“We decided to start at 6 this year<br />
instead of 7 p.m. And we’re promoting<br />
it as a great hour <strong>for</strong> kids who<br />
want to be scared, but maybe not really<br />
scared,” Ruter said. “It’s still kind<br />
of dusk and not completely dark so it<br />
might be great and easier <strong>for</strong> some of<br />
the smaller kids.”<br />
But it’s not always the smallest kid<br />
who has the loudest scream, according<br />
to Ruter.<br />
“I think it’s really kind of fun to see<br />
different people’s reaction to being<br />
scared. You might see a seven-year-old<br />
girl and jump out at her and it won’t<br />
even phase her, but her 12-year-old<br />
brother might jump out of his skin,”<br />
Ruter said.<br />
People are encouraged to dress<br />
warmly as it is fall and the temperatures<br />
tend to get downright chilly in<br />
the evening after dark.<br />
If there is bad weather then the<br />
event will be moved to the next night,<br />
Sunday, Oct. 30. F<br />

Fort Defiance:<br />
Fort Defiance State Park is<br />
named <strong>for</strong> the <strong>for</strong>t that once<br />
stood in the nearby community<br />
of Estherville. In the mid-19th<br />
century there was considerable<br />
concern among the settlers about<br />
the possibility of attacks by hostiles.<br />
In March of 1857, <strong>for</strong>ty men, women<br />
and children were massacred<br />
near Spirit Lake and Okoboji. In<br />
1862, a wounded 15-year old boy<br />
stumbled into town with the story<br />
of an Indian massacre in Jackson,<br />
MN. This brought terror into<br />
the community and Captain W.H.<br />
Ingham and Company A of the<br />
Northern Border Brigade were <strong>dis</strong>patched<br />
to Estherville to construct<br />
Fort Defiance. The townspeople<br />
eventually moved into the enclosure<br />
but the feared Indian attack never<br />
came. Over time, the <strong>for</strong>t was taken<br />
apart and the timbers used to build<br />
cabins.<br />

Halloween<br />
Hartley<br />
Downtown businesses break out the candy<br />
Costumed kids will have plenty<br />
of opportunity to collect candy<br />
this Halloween in Hartley.<br />
The annual Halloween Spectacular<br />
on Oct. 31 features a trick-or-trunk<br />
event and tour through downtown as<br />
well as citywide trick-or-treating.<br />
It all starts at the fire station at 3:30<br />
p.m. when everyone will gather be<strong>for</strong>e<br />
heading out to visit the downtown<br />
businesses.<br />
Those who own businesses off Central<br />
Avenue can partcipate as well and<br />
are encouraged to set up in the parking<br />
lot <strong>for</strong> a trick-or-trunk portion of<br />
the evening.<br />
“As a chamber we’re always looking<br />
<strong>for</strong> ways to get people into businesses<br />
and the owners themselves really<br />
enjoy seeing all the kids dressed up<br />
in their costumes,” Trisha Pearson, a<br />
chamber board member and supervisor<br />
of the Halloween event, said. “Not<br />
everyone realizes what we have downtown<br />
and this is a great opportunity to<br />
walk downtown and see everything.”<br />
As the group moves its way around<br />
downtown, business owners will be<br />
set up outside to greet everyone and<br />
hand out candy.<br />
It is the third year that Halloween<br />
has had this particular <strong>for</strong>mat in<br />
Hartley and it has proved quite popular.<br />
After completing their circuit of<br />
downtown, families and their little<br />
ghosts, princesses and superheroes<br />
can continue to trick-or-treat throughout<br />
their neighborhoods until 8 p.m.<br />
It’s not just the young ones that<br />
enjoy the evening though as Pearson<br />
said many of the business owners that<br />
get involved will dress the part as well.<br />
New this year will be events hosted<br />
at St. Paul Lutheran Church just north<br />
of downtown. There will be a bouncy<br />
house set up as well as hot cocoa and<br />
apple cider served from 3-5:30 p.m.<br />
Some congregation members will<br />
have a trick-or-trunk set up outside<br />
as well with church-related trinkets as<br />
well as candy to hand out.<br />
“It’s a great, fun, family event. We<br />
start with the sun still out and everyone<br />
had a good time visiting and<br />
seeing all the different costumes,”<br />
Pearson said. F<br />

SPOOKY<br />
SPIRITS<br />
put a<br />
SCARE<br />
into the<br />
FAIR<br />
Spencer Jaycees build Terrors of the Night haunted house<br />
Hundreds of thousands of visitors<br />
walked through the Clay County<br />
Fairgrounds last month. Many<br />
probably spent some time in the Industrial<br />
Building, but none of them<br />
saw it quite like this.<br />
For the third year in a row the Spencer<br />
Jaycees will be trans<strong>for</strong>ming the<br />
space into a haunted house of horrors.<br />
“Nightmare at the Fair: Terrors of<br />
the Night” will be open Oct. 21-22<br />
and Oct. 28-29 from 8 p.m. until midnight<br />
and on Halloween from 7-10<br />
p.m. Admission costs $10 per person<br />
or $7 with two non-perishable, nonexpired<br />
canned food items.<br />
All proceeds benefit the Spencer<br />
Jaycees’ Tree of Joy program, which<br />
provides presents <strong>for</strong> families in need<br />
at Christmas.<br />
The food items will be donated to<br />
the Upper Des Moines Opportunity,<br />
Inc. food bank.<br />
“We’ve been hard at work <strong>for</strong><br />
awhile,” Spencer Jaycees president<br />
Jason Jacobs said. “We get started<br />
almost right after the fair. There is a<br />
great group of Jaycees and volunteers<br />
to help build and make this happen<br />
and Midwestern Mechanical helped<br />
out with <strong>for</strong>klifts and trailers. We’re<br />
really thankful because without all<br />
their help we couldn’t get the haunted<br />
house ready.”<br />
Jacobs noted that a grant from Clay<br />
County Tourism helped with the expenses<br />
of lumber, supplies and props<br />
and expressed his thanks <strong>for</strong> the many<br />
people willing to help set up as well<br />
as work on the nights giving people<br />
a good fright as they make their way<br />
through the Nightmare at the Fair,<br />
which has a few new frights around its<br />
corners this year.<br />
Jacobs didn’t want to give away<br />
too much, but did let on that will be<br />
some new rooms and at least a couple<br />
surprises <strong>for</strong> haunted house visitors<br />
this year, as well as a few staples that<br />
people look <strong>for</strong>ward to seeing every<br />
year.<br />
“Several hundred, if not thousands,<br />
of people come through the haunted<br />
house each year,” Jacobs said. “It’s really<br />
a quality haunted house and one<br />
of the last true ones in the area. It’s<br />
not uncommon to see people sporting<br />
gear from 9 or 10 different school<br />
<strong>dis</strong>tricts.”<br />
Some of the hundreds who visit<br />
this year will be a bit younger as the<br />
Spencer Jaycees try out something <strong>for</strong><br />
the first time.<br />
“We’re <strong>for</strong>tunate to have the YMCA<br />
working with us and on Wednesday,<br />
Oct. 26, kids get out of school early,<br />
so we’ll be hosting a toned-down version<br />
with lights on <strong>for</strong> children about<br />
third-grade and up,” Jacobs said.<br />
That’s part of what the Spencer<br />
Jaycees are all about as they raise<br />
funds and give back to community<br />
children’s programs every year. The<br />
haunted house is one of many vehicles<br />
that allow the Jaycees to do so.<br />
“It’s a serious production and quite<br />
a unique experience. I think the<br />
tradition is a big draw as well since<br />
it’s been going on <strong>for</strong> a long time,”<br />
Jacobs said. “There will be quite a<br />
few different characters going on this<br />
time and I’m looking <strong>for</strong>ward to it.<br />
Those working the haunted house really<br />
enjoy themselves and have a lot<br />
of fun with it.”<br />
Lots of fun and plenty of frights<br />
will make <strong>for</strong> a quite a night. So join<br />

ArtRageous set <strong>for</strong> Oct. 27<br />
ArtRageous began<br />
in the ’80s<br />
as a children’s<br />
theatre company in<br />
Vancouver. But a few<br />
years later, on Christmas<br />
Day, their theatre<br />
building, props and<br />
puppets burned to the<br />
ground.<br />
Instead of giving up,<br />
these 12 artists started a traveling troupe, The Pink Flamingos<br />
— named after the flame-colored bird that stands solidly<br />
on one leg, rising from the ashes. Today they call themselves<br />
ArtRageous, and present a show that features their many passions:<br />
art, music, theatre, puppetry, singing, dancing, comedy.<br />
It’s interactive. It’s energetic. It’s a visual and musical extravaganza.<br />
The Orange City show is Thursday, Oct. 27, at 7 p.m. at the<br />
Northwestern College Chapel.<br />
WHERE: Northwestern College Chapel, Orange City, IA<br />
WHEN: 7 p.m., Thursday, Oct. 27<br />
COST: Tickets are $15 adult and $10 student, in advance<br />
