Side Trips<br />

Snow and cold temperatures caused<br />

nearly every sporting event in N’West<br />

Iowa to be postponed last Friday evening.<br />

Not having to rush out the door to get<br />

to our two high school<br />

kids’ games meant I<br />

stayed at work late to<br />

finish a few piles on<br />

my desk.<br />

My kind and<br />

thoughtful husband,<br />

working late as well<br />

and knowing that my<br />

car doesn’t handle<br />

snow and ice well,<br />

volunteered to switch<br />

vehicles with me <strong>for</strong><br />

our drive home, which<br />

is just a trip across town.<br />

MYRNA<br />

WAGNER<br />

Without bothering to let the engine warm<br />

up, I hopped in, hit the seat warmer button,<br />

backed out of the parking lot and headed<br />

<strong>for</strong> the highway. The snow was light and<br />

fluffy and quickly blew off the front hood<br />

— right onto the windshield. A quick swish<br />

of the wipers cleared the window so visibility<br />

was restored — <strong>for</strong> a moment. The cold<br />

of the snow caused my window to frost over<br />

on the inside, and despite immediately hitting<br />

the defrost to high, I still had to lower<br />

the driver-side window and stick my head<br />

out to see the middle of the road.<br />

I didn’t want to make a right-hand turn,<br />

since I couldn’t see out that side, so I had to<br />

travel another three blocks to the first available<br />

option <strong>for</strong> a left turn. That put me in<br />

the desolate parking lot of a small shopping<br />

place, where I stayed put until the defrost<br />

started to work its magic on the windshield.<br />

By the time I got home my husband was<br />

already in the garage with my car, the one<br />

that doesn’t handle ice and snow very well,<br />

Round Lake Vineyards and Winery<br />

are inviting friends to join them<br />

<strong>for</strong> a New Year’s Eve celebration.<br />

On Saturday night, Dec. 31, the<br />

vineyard will be open from noon until<br />

12:30 a.m. so people can come all<br />

day to enjoy some wine, but the party<br />

doesn’t get started until 7 p.m.<br />

“The party is going to start at 7<br />

p.m. with appetizers and then we’ll<br />

have a deejay from 8 p.m. until 12:30<br />

a.m,” said Heidi Petersen, an account<br />

manager with Round Lake Vineyards<br />

and Winery. “We’re going to have the<br />

dance last past midnight so we can<br />

say ‘Happy New Year’ and then have<br />

another dance.”<br />

The idea to host a New Year’s Eve<br />

party actually came from some of the<br />

winery’s customers and friends.<br />

“We have friends that kind of threw<br />

it out as an idea,” Petersen said. “We<br />

thought it would be something fun to<br />

do. We like to have people and we like<br />

to have fun.”<br />

When they thought about it, hosting<br />

a New Year’s Eve party at a winery<br />

was a perfect idea.<br />

“Wine is perfect <strong>for</strong> a New Year’s Eve<br />

party — it’s a fun celebratory drink<br />

and we thought hosting a party would<br />

be a wonderful idea,” Petersen said.<br />

The party will take place in the facility’s<br />

largest reception space — the<br />

cellar. There is no charge <strong>for</strong> the event,<br />

except the wine you choose to drink,<br />

and people can come and go as they<br />

please. The event organizers just ask<br />

that if you are coming with a group of<br />

10 or more then call ahead to make a<br />

reservation just so they have tables set<br />

and such.<br />

“I just can’t wait <strong>for</strong> the night and I<br />

think I’m most looking <strong>for</strong>ward to the<br />

dancing and seeing everybody having<br />

a great time,” Petersen said. F<br />

An evening of fun<br />

Little Swan Lake Winery hosts year-end celebration<br />

Live music, great food, fine wine.<br />

Little Swan Lake Winery will have<br />

it all <strong>for</strong> guests on New Year’s Eve.<br />

The doors will open at 7 p.m. when<br />

owner Diane Benjamin encourages<br />

guests to get set up <strong>for</strong> the night and<br />

get ready to party. Music from the Kris<br />

Karr Band getting started at 8 p.m. and<br />

roll on until midnight.<br />

“There are five of them mostly out<br />

of Fort Dodge, we’ve had the, be<strong>for</strong>e<br />

but not on New Year’s Eve,” Benjamin<br />

said. “They do a lot of rock ’n’ roll,<br />

folk rock and stuff that most people<br />

don’t play, some old and cool songs.<br />

They are great harmonizers and great<br />

musicians.”<br />

To go along with the live music<br />

there will be a bison rib meal and a<br />

vegetarian option, champagne at midnight,<br />

as well as plenty of party favors<br />

and door prizes.<br />

The cost is $40 per person not including<br />

wine.<br />

“Our new year’s event does a pretty<br />

good crowd and I think it’s a way to<br />

wind down from our season,” Benjamin<br />

said. “It’s a fun end to the year<br />

and a really fun night with lots of<br />

good music and good food.”<br />

The winery will only be open on<br />

weekends with Sunday entertainment<br />

the rest of the winter.<br />

If guests haven’t been to Little Swan<br />

Lake Winery <strong>for</strong> awhile they will also<br />

get a chance to sip a few new vintages<br />

made <strong>for</strong> the first time this year.<br />

“We try to do a couple new ones<br />

each year and this year we did four,”<br />

Benjamin said. “I think we’re up to 37<br />

wines now and they’re all good, it’s<br />

hard to know where to stop.”<br />

The new wines include a moscato,<br />

pino grigio, aglianico and a German<br />

varietal.<br />

“They’re about gone already which<br />

is a good problem to have,” Benjamin<br />

said. “They’ve been good sellers so<br />

we’ll probably bring them all back.”<br />

Be<strong>for</strong>e thinking about what wines<br />

will be made next year though, it’s<br />

time to celebrate the year that’s coming<br />

to a close.<br />

Join in the festivities at Little Swan<br />

Lake Winery as they dance, dine and<br />

toast to 2016. F<br />

Ring in the<br />

New Year<br />

Sparkle Celebration<br />

set <strong>for</strong> Calico Skies<br />

“Sparkle” has taken on a whole<br />

new meaning this year at Calico<br />

Skies Vineyard and Winery<br />

in rural Inwood.<br />

It is the sixth year they have hosted<br />

their New Year’s Eve Sparkle Celebration.<br />

But it is also the very first year<br />

they’ve had sparkling wine on their<br />

menu. Sparkling wine they made<br />

themselves.<br />

“That’s the big thing this year, our<br />

first year with our own sparkling<br />

wine,” owner and winemaker Will<br />

Kimberley said. “It’s a big deal <strong>for</strong> us<br />

and will be a big part of the evening.”<br />

The idea of making sparkling wine<br />

is something Kimberley said he’s contemplated<br />

<strong>for</strong> quite awhile.<br />

“I’ve been wanting to do it <strong>for</strong> quite<br />

a few years and got kind of obsessed<br />

with it,” Kimberley said. “It’s complicated<br />

and takes a lot laborwise, but<br />

now we’re one of the few places in<br />

the Midwest that does their own and<br />

they’re all popular and selling well.<br />

It’s been really fun.”<br />

Guests <strong>for</strong> New Year’s Eve will get<br />

to taste the fruits of that labor as four<br />

sparkling wines will be paired with a<br />

four-course dinner prepared by Chef<br />

Daniel with Elite Catering of Sioux<br />

Falls.<br />

“We’ve had them <strong>for</strong> our wine club<br />

and they prepare extremely impressive<br />

and creative, high-qualify stuff,”<br />

Kimberley said. “There will be the<br />

sparkling wine pairing with each<br />

course. They all go great with food so<br />

we’re really excited about that.”<br />

The Sparkle Celebration begins at 7<br />

p.m. with the meal at 8 p.m.<br />

Tickets are $90 per person and reservations<br />

are required.<br />

“It’s the best New Year’s Eve celebration<br />

anywhere around. Certainly the<br />

most unique I think,” Kimberley said.<br />

The Risky Business Band will entertain<br />

guests from 8:30 p.m.-12:30 a.m.<br />

There will also be a s’mores bar and<br />

photo booth set up throughout the<br />

evening.<br />

“Risky Business is a familiar crowd<br />

favorite and provides a lot of fun <strong>for</strong><br />

everyone. People will want to get out<br />

and dance,” Kimberley said.<br />

As the clock counts down to midnight<br />

Calico Skies unveils its very own<br />

ball drop lowered down from the ceiling<br />

as the final seconds of 2016 tick<br />

away.<br />

“It’s a blast. We provide each table<br />

with confetti and party poppers. There<br />

is a good inch coating on all surfaces<br />

by the end of the night,” Kimberley<br />

said. “It’s quite an amazing scene and<br />

great atmosphere.<br />

A night of revelry can work up an<br />

appetite, even if that night starts with<br />

the great meal, so Jimmy Johns sandwiches<br />

are brought in <strong>for</strong> everyone at<br />

12;30 a.m.<br />

Sparkling wine and a Sparkle Celebration.<br />

Enjoy it all at Calico Skies on New<br />

Year’s Eve. F<br />

A night <strong>for</strong> nonsense<br />

Worthington to host New Year’s Eve entertainment<br />

New Year’s Eve is a night to celebrate,<br />

but sometimes it’s hard<br />

to find entertainment that the<br />

whole family will enjoy.<br />

The Worthington Memorial Per<strong>for</strong>ming<br />

Arts Center has plans to<br />

change that this year.<br />

On Saturday, Dec. 31, at 7 p.m.,<br />

they’ll be hosting a New Year’s Eve of<br />

Serious Nonsense.<br />

“We decided that we wanted to do<br />

something that would kick off the<br />

new year with fun and frivolity and<br />

laughter, but that was still something<br />

that was <strong>for</strong> all ages,” said Tammy<br />

Makram, the managing director of<br />

the Memorial Auditorium Per<strong>for</strong>ming<br />

Arts Center.<br />

“So if a whole family wants to come<br />

and celebrate the new year then they<br />

can all come together to this show.”<br />

The show features Lloyd Brant and<br />

Rosie Cole as the Theatre of Fools.<br />

It will be their first time per<strong>for</strong>ming<br />

at the Memorial Auditorium, and<br />

Makram can’t wait.<br />

“I’ve heard their show described as<br />

Cirque du Soleil meets ‘Laurel and<br />

Hardy.’ They are a kind of combination<br />

of a Vaudeville circus act with the<br />

silliness of Laurel and Hardy and The<br />

Three Stooges,” Makram said.<br />

“There’s also some music and some<br />

magic in there and a bunch of random<br />

silliness.”<br />

Brant and Cole have been touring<br />

and sharing their unique <strong>for</strong>m of<br />

humor with audiences <strong>for</strong> 25 years.<br />

They have per<strong>for</strong>med at a number of<br />

venues including the Guthrie Theatre<br />

and Disneyland.<br />

Makra first saw the duo per<strong>for</strong>ming<br />

at the Minnesota Renaissance Festival.<br />

“They are one of the most popular<br />

shows there and I was watching the<br />

audience’s reaction to them and people<br />

were laughing so hard they were<br />

falling out of their seats,” Makram<br />

said.<br />

“The funny thing is even though<br />

they don’t say a word, you get so<br />

caught up in the show that it doesn’t<br />

matter. You understand exactly what<br />

is going on with them.”<br />

The show will kick off at 7 p.m., but<br />

there will be a social hour be<strong>for</strong>e the<br />

show starts complete with some sort<br />

of live entertainment in the lobby.<br />

Ringing in the New Year with laughter<br />

and a reminder of life’s more important<br />

things, Makram believes will<br />

be a great way to spend New Year’s Eve.<br />

“Their show is about love and silliness<br />

and a reminder of the positive<br />

things in life, which is what we all<br />

need some of,” Makram said. F<br />

Calling all brides<br />

Bridal and Party Showcase set<br />

<strong>for</strong> Sunday, Jan. 8, in Spencer<br />

When it comes to brides who are planning weddings in N’West Iowa, the organizers of<br />

the annual Bridal and Party Showcase have one thing to say: Come one and come all.<br />

For the 11th year, MORE 104.9 is hosting its annual vendor fair on Sunday, Jan. 8,<br />

2017, from 1-4:30 p.m. at the Clay County Regional Event Center. While this is mainly <strong>for</strong><br />

people planning their wedding in N’West Iowa, this year they are expanding the experience to<br />

include anyone who is throwing a party.<br />

“This year, we changed up the name a bit to the Bridal and Party showcase. The bridal aspect<br />

continues to grow and grow, but we know that there<br />

are lots of people who like to have parties or different<br />

events or celebrations such as a birthday party or<br />

an anniversary party,” said Kevin Tlam, operations<br />

manager at MORE 104.9. “This event will give those<br />

people a chance to plan their event by being able to<br />

talk to venues, deejays, caterers and so much more.”<br />

While they are now marketing the event to a new<br />

crowd, they are still giving the brides a lot of the<br />

focus.<br />

“It’s a really fun event that we do every year and<br />

it’s one of my favorites,” Tlam said. “It’s fun to<br />

watch future brides and their moms and friends and<br />

sometimes grooms begin that planning process <strong>for</strong><br />

what is going to be the biggest day of their lives. We<br />

work really hard to bring in professionals and businesses<br />

that can help them make their wedding days<br />

extraordinary.”<br />

The Bridal and Party Showcase features a number<br />

It’s a really fun<br />

event that we<br />

do every year<br />

and it’s one of<br />

my favorites.<br />

Kevin Tlam<br />

of vendors from the N’West Iowa area and so far they have well over 40 vendors<br />

who have signed up <strong>for</strong> the event. According to Tlam, there are even<br />

more who haven’t officially signed up yet, but have said they are coming.<br />

This is even a larger number of vendors then they had <strong>for</strong> the event’s<br />

10th anniversary last year.<br />

In addition to being able to check out a number of vendors, brides<br />

and their parties as well as all other guests <strong>for</strong> the show will also get a<br />

chance to win a number of prizes.<br />

“Throughout the afternoon we’ll be drawing names <strong>for</strong><br />

prizes. All the vendors will be putting up prizes to<br />

be given away,” Tlam said. “Anytime you go to a<br />

wedding reception you do that dollar dance<br />

and that is a tradition that we’ve incorporated<br />

into our event. We have the cash<br />

cube. Three times throughout the event,<br />

people will have a chance to grab as<br />

much cash as they can in 40 seconds.”<br />

So brides and party planners, come<br />

on down to the Clay County Regional<br />

Event Center on Sunday, Jan. 8, 2017,<br />

<strong>for</strong> your one-stop-shop <strong>for</strong> all your<br />

party needs. F<br />
