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 

Arts on Grand Board Members 

help hang pastel paintings 

by Ann Bishop McGregor 

in anticipation of her exhibit.

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

“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

LATINO 

Orange City to host Hispanic heritage celebration June 28 

FESTIVAL 

Orange City is a town filled with 

tulips, windmills and Dutch architecture. 

It is a town that is unabashedly 

proud of its Dutch heritage. 

But on Wednesday, June 28, a festival 

will be hosted to celebrate the 

city’s rich diversity. 

The sixth annual Festival Latino will 

be held that Wednesday at Windmill 

Park. The fun kicks off at 5 p.m. with 

lots of activities that the whole family 

will enjoy, including face painting, 

mural painting, a soccer challenge 

and a new Mayan/Aztec Pavilion. 

Just for the kids, there will be a 

bouncy castle and a piñata bust. 

The band Orquesta Alto Maiz Latino 

will take to the stage at 7 p.m. 

The band is based in the Midwest, 

and they have been performing regionally 

and internationally since 

1986. They perform a wide range of 

Latin musical styles, including merengue, 

samba, cha-cha-cha, salsa, 

calypso and boleros. 

Orquesta Alto Maiz performs original 

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. 

For more information, visit www. 

villagenorthwest.org. 

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

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

Mud Dogs Band 

The Mud Dogs Band play from a song list of over 200 

tunes ranging from crowd favorites like “I Saw Her 

Standing There” by the Beatles to “Sweet Caroline” 

by Neil Diamond to more modern day country songs 

by Little Big Town and Jason Aldean. With thousands 

of shows under their belt, they have become a premier 

variety dance band in the upper-midwest. 

For whatever 

happens this
