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 />
