Side Trips
What was I thinking Saturday? The
forecast my daughter shared with
me said 80 percent chance of rain,
and Friday evening’s little shower had certainly
already set the
tone for more to come.
Yet, I was optimistic
and set off for Risefest
(the Christian music
festival that takes
place less than a mile
from my home in
Sheldon) wearing my
(nearly) new Birks.
MYRNA
WAGNER
I had visions of
stretching my legs
out in front of my
camp chair and catching
a few rays. Wearing
socks and tennis shows would leave
me with white feet, and walking through
hay stubble with flip-flops leads to painful
scratches and scrapes. Birkenstocks were
the perfect solution. Easy to walk in. Comfortable
for extended periods of time. Thick
soles to keep away the prickly hay.
All was well until the downpour.
We were fortunate and waited out the
deluge in the safety of a steel shed on the
property adjacent the festival grounds.
Once the all-clear was issued, I tip-toed my
way around several puddles and managed
to stay relatively dry. The mud crept up the
cork soles of my sandals, but didn’t ooze
over the edge.
But for the final two bands of the night
— Crowder and Toby Mac — I decided to
get the up-close experience right next to the
stage. Packed in with dozens of teenagers,
the energy level and enthusiasm were contagious.
Dancing in the mud and wet grass?
Not so great.
Once home I took a scraper, then a big
brush, to my Birks. Bottoms, sides, tops,
cork, leather — every inch of them had to
be scrubbed.
Right now they are propped above an air
vent to dry. The jury is still out on whether
they survived.

Ann Bishop McGregor
brings pastel work to
Arts on Grand
There is beauty all around. It’s in
the people and places we see every
day. It’s something artist Ann
Bishop McGregor recognizes and is
bringing to Arts on Grand in Spencer.
The exhibit, “Beauty in the Ordinary,”
will be on display from June
20-July 29 and features McGregor’s
pastel work covering a range of subjects
from landscapes to still lifes,
along with people and animals.
Arts on Grand curator Joanne Schar
is looking forward to the exhibit and
thinks it’s one everyone can enjoy.
“There aren’t as many pastel artists
as there are with other mediums, so
it’s fun to have one here,” Schar said.
“Her still lifes have a sense of humor
and her landscapes are calming images
of Iowa. They’re scenes we’re familiar
with that are fun to see as new
Ann Bishop McGregor currently has a show at Arts on Grand in Spencer.
Her exhibit is entitled “Beauty in the Ordinary.” PHOTOS BY RYLAN HOWE
through an artist’s interpretation.”
McGregor was interested in art since
she was a child and often took classes
and lessons before earning a graphic
design degree from Iowa State University
in Ames.
She’s continued with art classes
throughout her adult life as well. It
was during one of these classes, while
working with oil paints and studying
Old Masters techniques, that she first
began to experiment with pastels.
“The teacher was demonstrating
with pastels, which you work dark to
light like with oils, and that was intriguing
to me,” McGregor said.
So about six years ago, her pastel
work began and McGregor continually
adds new pastels to her collection.
She has become a signature member
of the Iowa Pastel Society, enjoying
all the workshops, classes, shows
and competitions they have to offer.
“It’s been fun to experiment these
past few years. I like the way pastels can
look like oil paintings,” McGregor said.
McGregor’s landscapes focus on
typical Midwestern scenes of farm
fields, ponds, pastures and the like,
many of which come just a short drive
around her rural Charles City acreage.
Her still lifes are a study of pumpkins,
squash and gourds, with a dash
of humor coming from the various
titles and arrangements. They are
also an opportunity for McGregor to
practice the sight-size method where
one places the canvas next to the
subject and continually steps back to
a marked point to observe before stepping
forward to paint or draw.
“It can be a good bit of exercise! And
it’s very accurate,” McGregor said.
Landscapes, still lifes, people,
pets. The beauty in it all can be seen
through McGregor’s eyes during the
next month at Arts on Grand.
“I hope people come away from
the show with an appreciation of the
beauty in the ordinary things around
us. There’s beauty to it all. You just
need to stop and look,” McGregor
said. F

LET FREEDOM RING
Celebrate Independence Day weekend in George
Let freedom ring.
George’s annual Freedom Days
celebration has been going on
for more than a dozen years, and
this year’s event will be held Friday-
Sunday, June 30-July 2.
The Lyon County community’s
event kicks off Friday at 2 p.m. when
the George Museum opens. A pedal
tractor pull and the Miss George and
Little Miss George Pageant will follow
at 6 p.m. and 7:30 p.m., respectively.
Saturday is packed full of activities,
ranging from a 5K fun run/walk,
which drew 150 participants last year,
to a duck race.
The George Museum also will be
open throughout the day, and a parade,
antique tractor pull, games and
inflatables are sure to be a hit as well.
A car show also will be held, and
the event drew more than 100 vehicles
last year.
“We had quite a bit of success,”
said Rob Van Egdom, president of
the George Chamber of Commerce,

“This year, we’re going to start having
awards in a more formal setting.”
A pie auction will be held on Saturday
as a fundraiser for Freedom Days.
“That is always fun, and that’s where
the community really gets behind
what you’re doing,” Van Egdom said.
The band Replay of Sioux City will
perform twice on Saturday, providing
cover songs from the ’60s to today.
A fireworks display will cap off Saturday’s
lineup of events.
“I have only been part of the George
community for three-four years, but
the fireworks display here is amazing,”
Van Egdom said. “The way we
purchase fireworks allows us to put on
a fairly big show.”
The chamber of commerce will host
a Dad’s Belgian Waffles Breakfast on
Sunday, followed by a fishing tournament.
The George Museum also will be
open throughout the day.
Van Egdom is excited to not only
provide entertainment for George
residents, but visitors as well.
“It’s a great family-friendly event,”
he said. F

compositions as well as Latin-jazz
standards by Tito Puente, Ray Barretto,
Eddie Palmieri, Ismael Miranda,
Mario Bauzá, Poncho Sanchez and
others.
Festival Latino is free to attend, and
there will be plenty of yummy foods
available to purchase.
The event got its start because of a
desire to more richly appreciate the
Latino culture.
“Based on conversations we had
with many of our immigrant neighbors
during an Adult Discipleship
series we sponsored at my church,
American Reformed Church in Orange
City, the leaders of that series decided
that it would be important for
our community to better understand
and celebrate local Latino culture,”
said Harold Heie, the chair of the Festival
Planning Team.
“I then worked through CASA of
Sioux County (Center for Assistance,
Service and Advocacy), which I now
co-direct, to initiate an annual festival

designed to celebrate local Latino culture.”
In an effort to further these efforts,
all of the attendees are invited to wear
traditional clothing from their country
of origin. Prizes are given for the
best outfits.
The festival is going on its sixth
year, and Heie is pleased with how
the event continues to celebrate Latin
cultures and also continues to bring
people of all heritages together.
“My favorite aspect is to see the
marvelous way in which Latino and
caucasian children enjoy numerous
activities together, for it is the bonds
of friendship that they develop with
one another that holds out the greatest
hope for persons of both cultures
to flourish together into the future,”
Heie said. “The purpose of the festival
is to celebrate the riches of local
Latino culture and provide the opportunity
for all local residents to engage
one another over good food, good fun
and good music.” F

History
The idea for Village Northwest
Unlimited was first conceived
in November 1974 when Bob
Hoogeveen, then principal of
Sheldon High School, stopped
to visit a friend, Lamar Esbeck,
who worked at Handicap Village
in Clear Lake.
“That was my introduction to the
disabled,” said Hoogeveen, founding
executive director of the Village.
“I was totally dumbfounded. The
situation of the disabled was foreign
to me until that day.”
The trip to Clear Lake proved to
have a haunting impact on Hoogeveen,
and he was overwhelmed
at his excitement of the possibility
of Sheldon building a similar village.

Celebrate Independence Day
Village Northwest Unlimited has activities for the family
Village Northwest Unlimited’s
annual Independence Day Celebration
has something for
everyone.
“It’s a great, family-friendly event,”
said Samantha Waterstone, events and
volunteer coordinator for the Village.
This year’s event will kick off at
5 p.m. Monday, July 3, with food
booths from Hy-Vee, Pizza Ranch and
Subway in Sheldon and Kelly’s Catering
in Hospers.
A variety of fun will follow at 6
p.m. Carnival games, inflatables, laser
tag, kiddie train rides, a kiddie Ferris
wheel, face painting, an ice cream parlor,
petting zoo, fire truck rides, pony
rides, Mr. Twister, horse-drawn wagon
rides and more are sure to be a hit for
all ages.
“They’ve all done quite well in the
past,” Waterstone said.
At 7 p.m., the Mud Dogs will perform
from a song list of more than
200 tunes, ranging from crowd favorites
like “I Saw Her Standing There” by
the Beatles to Neil Diamond’s “Sweet
Caroline” and more modern day
country songs by Little Big Town and
Jason Aldean.
“We’re really looking forward to
having them,” Waterstone said.
Fireworks will cap off the day’s entertainment
at dusk.
According to Barry Whitsell, president
and CEO of Village Northwest
Unlimited, the Sheldon-based facility
began its Independence Day festivities
more than 30 years ago.
“It started as a celebration amongst
our own residents. They decorated
their bikes and wheelchairs in patriotic
themes, and they would march around
Village Circle,” he said. “It got to be,
‘Let’s shoot off some fireworks,’ and
then, ‘Let’s invite the public,’ so it’s just
expanded and grown over the years.”
According to Waterstone, an average
of about 6,000-7,000 people turn
out for the celebration each year, with
even more showing up for the fireworks
display.
“People are able to participate in
so many different activities, with the
fireworks, with the music group, with
the carnival games, food booths and
inflatables — there’s something for
everybody, really,” she said. “Our
hope is to be able to celebrate with
the community and really share what
the Village is all about and be able to
draw people to our campus.” F

Join a hike to Judd Wildlife Area.
The next installment of the Dickinson
County Nature Center’s
Hike the Wild series takes intrepid explores
to the 236-acre area southwest
of Milford.
It will be a new experience for Bryanna
Kuhlman, environmental education
coordinator at the nature center,
as well.
Kuhlman will go on at least one exploratory
hike herself before leading
the group through the area next Tuesday,
June 27, when those interested
will meet at 9:30 a.m. at the nature
center before venturing out to Judd
Wildlife Area for the hike.
“I’ll go out and explore beforehand
and maybe take our vegetation specialist
along to point out some the
restoriation work he’s been doing as
well as any rare or fun plants growing
in the area,” Kuhlman said.
She can then pass on this information
to the hikers, as well as any other
observations and facts about the local
flora and fauna that come up along
the way.
Still fairly new to the area, Kuhlman
enjoys getting the chance to explore
her new surroundings right alongside
her fellow hikers.
“What I really love is that we get a
core group of people coming back as
well as newcomers each time,” Kuhlman
said. “It’s so much fun to go out
with like-minded and curious people.”
Kuhlman noted that some people
enjoy looking for prairie flowers while
others are more into birding, and
some just enjoy having someone lead
the way in a new place to explore.
“There are a lot of flowers and a
lots of species in general out there.
Blanding’s turtles have been seen out
there,” Kuhlman said. “Overall it’s a
community learning experience and I
hope people find a new place they can
explore or take their families when
they visit. And if they learn some
factoids and can walk away knowing
a little something more than before,
that’s great.”
With a wide swath of meadow, as
well as a prairie stream winding its
way towards the Little Sioux River, the
Judd Wildlife Area will provide plenty
of space for visitors to enjoy as they
explore a new patch of the beautiful
land around the Iowa Great Lakes. F

Expertly written
dialogue key to ‘Plaza’ success
Comedy takes the stage for week two of theatre season
Travel to New York City and the
Plaza Hotel for the second week
of the Okoboji Summer Theatre’s
60 th anniversary season.
The comedy “Plaza Suite” is a classic,
penned by Neil Simon, and coves
a variety of human relationships. OST
delivers the production with grace,
under the expert direction of Bernard
Monroe.
There are three short stories that unfold
on the stage, each taking place in
the same hotel suite and dealing with
human relationships and conflict.
In the first scene, Karen and Sam
Nash, played by Hannah Elliott and
Michael Fisher are celebrating their
23rd or 24th wedding anniversary
(they can’t seem to agree how many
years it has been.)
The two are on completely different
pages, she working to create a romantic
celebration, and him distracted
by his work. The dialogue between
the two is well done, sharp and witty.
Karen uses humor and sarcasm to disguise
deep hurt and suspicion.
Sam finally admits he would like a
“do-over” and his mid-life crisis has
gotten the best of him. He admits to
having an affair with a young woman
from the office.
The scene ends with the wife begging
him to stay despite his indiscretion.
As the curtain closes the audience
is left feeling her heartbreak.
Story number two features high
school sweethearts meeting up after

many years. He is now a famous Hollywood
producer; she is a married
mother of three still living in their
hometown in New Jersey.
Simon’s dialogue is equally clever
and real for story number two.
She is fascinated with his celebrity
status. He is enamored with her innocence.
As their conversation and flirtation
continues, the audience realizes
he isn’t seducing her but they are both
using each other.
Paitra Babb and Dylan Crow feel
genuine and comfortable in their
roles.
The third and final scene is the story
of a frightened bride and her parents.
Stephanie Hockaday and OST favorite
Rob Doyen carry the night. Their line
delivery and frustrations with each
other are hilarious.
Theatre patrons were laughing out
loud on opening night as the craziness
ensued.
Doyen climbing out on the ledge
seven stories up and his tuxedo jacket
ripping up the back were high points
in the hilarity.
The mother’s dismay over her torn
stockings is something women in the
audience can relate to, and every dad
that has ever stressed about the cost
of a wedding will laugh when the father
fusses about the costs of the hors
d’oeuvres and cocktails.
As one might expect, the groom
steps in to save the day, though not in
the thoughtful, loving way one might
have thought.
“Plaza Suite” continues through
Sunday evening and even if you’ve
seen this classic before, is worth seeing
again. Up next week is the comedy
“The Nerd.”

Flea market findings
Three locations hosts annual event flea markets
Fourth of July weekend
Four decades later, Treasure Village’s
flea markets are still going
strong.
According to Garth Neisess, the offering
began around 1976.
The tradition will continue Saturday-Tuesday,
July 1-4, at Treasure Village,
located at 2023 Highway 86 near
Milford.
Neisess is co-owner of the facility,
and he operates the flea markets,
which are held three times each year
during the Memorial Day, Fourth of
July and Labor Day weekends.
The offerings were initiated by
Frank Hastings of Milford, who suggested
to Neisess that he should begin
holding the events.
“He said that he would round up
some vendors, and he found some
people that he knew,” Neisess said.
Now, about 80 spaces are offered,
and about 60 vendors participate in
the flea markets.
“Some of them take up two, three
or four spaces,” Neisess said. “A lot of
them are back in their usual spot, and
we have probably 15 new ones. We
always welcome new vendors. We can
always find a spot for them to squeeze
in somewhere.”
He noted that vendors will start
coming on Thursday to get set up,
while the bulk will pull through on
Friday. The smaller ones will show up
early Saturday morning.
“It’s just a fun time,” Neisess said.
Treasure Village’s Fourth of July flea
markets will have its usual food offerings
this year, ranging from kettle corn
to various types of beef jerky, gyros,
pulled pork, shaved ice and ice cream
cones. New offerings will include root
beer and rice and stir-fry vegetables.
Besides the flea markets, Treasure
Village also hosts the only 27-hole
miniature golf course in the Iowa Great
Lakes, and it boasts a family theatre
program, which is presenting three
shows — “Snow White,” “Aladdin”
and “Beauty and the Beast” — this
summer. Both offerings will be available
Fourth of July weekend, as well.
The location is staffed by its actors
for the most part, and Neisess said he
is continually complimented about
how positive everyone is.
“I hear that from a lot of vendors,”
he said. “They’re actors, so they learn
to be positive.”
What’s more, not only the staff, but
the flea market vendors have become
like a second family to Neisess.
“I always enjoy the vendors. You get
to know them quite well through the
years, which is the same with the theatre
staff,” he said. “I still enjoy it after
45 years. It’s been a fun adventure.” F
