Side Trips<br />

I<br />

decided that I could be a fair-weather<br />

football fan this fall.<br />

My son played his senior season last<br />

year, and as a parent you don’t want to<br />

miss any of that. Cold.<br />

Wind. Rain. Snow.<br />

(Shudder) We’ll sit<br />

through just about<br />

anything when our<br />

child is out on the<br />

field. But this year<br />

with no one playing,<br />

I said I was only going<br />

to games in the<br />

early season, while the<br />

weather was still nice.<br />

My husband photographs<br />

Friday night<br />

football from the sidelines,<br />

so I always sit with other moms in the<br />

stands to watch the games. When it began<br />

to rain late Friday afternoon Jeff assumed I<br />

was going to stay home. But about an hour<br />

before kickoff it seemed the rain was letting<br />

up, and the weather report I listened to said<br />

skies were clearing. I found myself texting<br />

a friend to see if she was still going to the<br />

game. “I am if you are,” she replied, so the<br />

plan was set.<br />

As I was ready to leave my house for the<br />

three-block walk to the football field, it began<br />

to sprinkle. I grabbed an umbrella “just<br />

in case.”<br />

Good thing. It rained nearly the entire<br />

game. That was the bad news. The good<br />

news (sort of) is that the rain kept most<br />

people away, so there was plenty of extra<br />

space in the bleachers around me and I<br />

didn’t have to be concerned about my umbrella<br />

dripping on anyone sitting near me.<br />

My feet were a different matter. That’s<br />

where all the rain water from the umbrella<br />

ended up, and they were soaked before half<br />

Iowa time. Information<br />

BIRTHDAY PARTY<br />

Clay County Fair celebrates with<br />

Centennial Birthday Bash<br />

The Clay County Fair is celebrating<br />

100 years in 2017. They’ll be hosting<br />

a birthday bash on Sunday, Sept. 17<br />

at 7 p.m. PHOTOS BY RYLAN HOWE<br />

The Clay County Fair will close this year’s week<br />

of festivities with its Centennial Birthday Bash.<br />

In honor of 100 years of entertaining hundreds<br />

of thousands of people, they’ve decided to borrow a<br />

bit from the fairs of old.<br />

“If you study fair history you’ll find that the idea<br />

of grandstand events have been around since the<br />

1960s and ’70s. But before that, especially in the<br />

’40s, you had these spectacles of music and vaudeville<br />

variety shows,” said Jeremy Parsons, CEO and<br />

manager of the Clay County Fair. “It was really like<br />

‘America’s Got Talent’ before ‘America’s Got Talent.’”<br />

The Centennial Birthday Bash will be held Sunday,<br />

Sept. 17 at 7 p.m.<br />

Tickets are $15 for adults while children ages 12<br />

and under get in for free.<br />

“Those old spectacles had numerous traveling<br />

professional acts performing so we decided to recreate<br />

that,” Parsons said.<br />

There will be the Moto Maniacs performing a variety<br />

of daredevil stunts including the Cyclone Cycle,<br />

a contraption involving a motorcycle spinning a<br />

flying aerialist; the Sky Cycle, where a daredevil and<br />

a fearless acrobatic ride a motorcycle up a high wire;<br />

the Moto Sphere, a high-speed motorcycle chase<br />

inside a large steel-caged sphere and much more.<br />

Jennifer Smith, also known as the The Cannon<br />

Lady, will launch herself from a 27-foot cannon 60<br />

feet high and 125 feet through the air towards her<br />

safety net.<br />

Comedian C. Willi Myles will have the audience<br />

bursting with laughter while Sean Emery will entertain<br />

the crowd with his circus skills, comedy and<br />

showmanship.<br />

The acts will be accompanied by the Karl King<br />

Band, who originally performed at the fair for<br />

nearly four decades starting in 1922.<br />

King was a well-known circus march composer<br />

and the band continues to operate out of Fort<br />

Dodge.<br />

Kicking off the whole night will be the high<br />

school choirs from Spencer, Clay Central-Everly and<br />

Sioux Central.<br />

A portion of the proceeds from ticket sales will actually<br />

be donated to the music departments at those<br />

three schools as well as Spencer Community Theatre<br />

who will have actors dressed in period clothing<br />

during the birthday bash.<br />

Several other local acts will also be on hand to<br />

entertain the crowd throughout the night.<br />

The fun-filled evening ends with the largest fireworks<br />

display ever seen at the Clay County Fair.<br />

“This is going to be a unique night and a once-ina-lifetime<br />

type of event people won’t want to miss,”<br />

Parsons said. F<br />

Words cannot express my gratefulness for this (VNUS) procedure. I<br />

endured much discomfort of swelling of my legs until I was unable to<br />

JAM BAND<br />

The Clay County Fair is all about<br />

family fun for everyone. One<br />

family from Branson, MO, will<br />

be helping provide some of the free<br />

entertainment that leads to that family<br />

fun, while also having quite a bit of<br />

fun themselves.<br />

The Rolf family includes parents<br />

Matt and Lisa, and their three children,<br />

who together make up the band,<br />

Matt’s Family Jam.<br />

They are among the strolling acts<br />

and will perform three time per day<br />

throughout the fair. The 12:30 p.m.<br />

and 3:30 p.m. time slots will be You don’t know when you’re going to<br />

at the fair,” said Jeremy Parsons, stage and have been performing to-<br />

“It’s a unique thing we can offer that “We’ve been playing music together<br />

you can run into around every corner. pretty much our whole lives and we<br />

Matt’s Family Jam set to stroll the<br />

Clay County Fair this week<br />

started doing fairs about seven years<br />

ago,” said Adrienne, 15, who plays<br />

multiple instruments in the band,<br />

including guitar, fiddle, ukelele and<br />

keyboard.<br />

Matt has the longest history of<br />

the family in performance, having<br />

been involved in the “Matt and<br />

Robyn Show” with his sister since he<br />

10-years-old performing around the<br />

country and even Canada and on<br />

famous stages such as the Grand Ole<br />

Opry in Nashville.<br />

Matt married Lisa, a music educator,<br />

and together with their first son Collin,<br />

moved to Branson in 2000 when<br />

Matt got a job at the Jim Stafford Theater.<br />

Two more children, Adrienne and<br />

Benjamin, soon followed and all three<br />

kids grew up visiting the theater and<br />

watching shows.<br />

It was more or less just a matter of<br />

time before they picked up the trade<br />

themselves.<br />

Collin, 18, plays lead guitar, while<br />

Benjamin, 12, handles the drums.<br />

Matt plays bass guitar and Lisa brings<br />

the saxophone to the stage. And of<br />

course everyone sings in fantastic family<br />

harmony.<br />

Upon leaving the job at the Jim<br />

Stafford Theatre, Matt and Lisa turned<br />

their focus to Ozark Productions getting<br />

back into the swing of producing<br />

concerts.<br />

A few years later, the family began<br />

making appearances locally in Missouri,<br />

before going full-time in 2011.<br />

Matt’s Family Jam has since played all<br />

over the country including states as far<br />

as Florida and New York, to nearby<br />

Ohio and Wisconsin.<br />

They’ve been to the Clay County<br />

Fair more than once before this year.<br />

“First of all, it’s amazing,” said Collin<br />

of The World’s Greatest County<br />

Fair. “We love that they have so much<br />

to offer and you can tell the people are<br />

very proud of their fair. It’s so special<br />

that we get to be a part of it, especially<br />

during the centennial year.”<br />

According to Benjamin the group<br />

sings a mix of country, rock, pop, gospel<br />

and much more. Anyone taking<br />

in their show shouldn’t have a hard<br />

time finding a few songs they know<br />

well and will often be able to sing and<br />

dance right along. In fact, the band<br />

puts out hula hoops and encourage<br />

everyone to simply have a great time.<br />

“People should come ready to have<br />

a good time,” Adrienne said. “We<br />

want to encourage everyone to have a<br />

good time as a family.”<br />

From their family to yours, this year<br />

at the Clay County Fair, be ready to<br />

spend some time enjoying the music<br />

of Matt’s Family Jam. F<br />

Song<br />

for another<br />

time<br />

Old Dominion comes to<br />

the Clay County Fair<br />

A<br />

rising country act will be taking<br />

the stage at the Clay County<br />

Fair.<br />

Old Dominion has actually been<br />

booked far in advance of this year’s<br />

fair as their popularity has skyrocketed<br />

over the past couple years.<br />

“If you’re a new country fan there<br />

is probably not a better band out<br />

there,” said Jeremy Parsons, Clay<br />

County Fair CEO and manager.<br />

Old Dominion is a five-member<br />

ensemble based out of Nashville<br />

consisting of lead vocalist Matthew<br />

Ramsey, Trevor Rosen on guitar and<br />

keyboards, drummer Whit Sellers,<br />

Geoff Sprung on bass, and guitarist<br />

Brad Tursi.<br />

They released a self-titled EP in<br />

October 2014, which featured the<br />

singles “Shut Me Up” and “Break Up<br />

With Him.”<br />

Their first full-length studio album,<br />

“Meat and Candy,” was released a<br />

little over a year later and was called<br />

a “deceptively smart, occasionally<br />

cheeky, stellar debut,” by Entertainment<br />

Weekly, according to the band’s<br />

website.<br />

The album was recently certififed<br />

gold and included No. 1 singles with<br />

“Snapback” and “Song For Another<br />

Time.”<br />

Each of the past two summers has<br />

seen Old Dominion open on<br />

Kenny Chesney’s “The Big<br />

Revival” and “Spread<br />

The Love” tours before<br />

they embarked on<br />

their own headlining<br />

tour in the fall<br />

of 2016 to promote<br />

“Meat and<br />

Candy.”<br />

In 2016, they<br />

were also named<br />

ACM New Group of the<br />

Year, ACCA Breakthrough<br />

Group of the Year, AIMP Songwriter<br />

Artist of the Year and Music<br />

Row Breakthrough Artist of the Year.<br />

“No Such Thing As A Broken<br />

Heart” is the band’s<br />

most recent single coming<br />

from their sophomore<br />

album, “Happy<br />

Endings,” which came<br />

out just a couple<br />

weeks ago.<br />

“Our goal for<br />

grandstand entertainment<br />

is to<br />

always have something<br />

for everyone,”<br />

Parsons said. “With Old Dominion<br />

it’s been very intersting<br />

to see their rise in success and we’re<br />

very excited to have them.” F<br />

Fair educates visitors about ag<br />

Visitors have several opportunities<br />

to see the animals<br />

and machinery of Iowa<br />

agiculture at the Clay County<br />

Fair. No place more so than at<br />

Grandpa’s Barn.<br />

Open throughout the run<br />

of the fair, Grandpa’s Barn<br />

gives visitors young and old a<br />

chance to get up close and personal<br />

with a wide range of farm<br />

animals from pigs and goats, to<br />

calves and kittens.<br />

“We take seriously our job<br />

of educating the public about<br />

agriculture,” said Jeremy Parsons,<br />

Clay County Fair CEO<br />

and manager. “Grandpa’s Barn<br />

allows us to provide that education<br />

through interaction with<br />

animals and plots of crops like<br />

corn and soybeans.”<br />

Many of the same animals<br />

and opportunities that have<br />

been available since its inception<br />

in 2010 will be on hand<br />

again this year.<br />

There will also be combine<br />

and tractor simulators available<br />

to give folks a shot at virtually piloting<br />

big-time farm equipment.<br />

“The barn’s going to be<br />

pretty much like it’s been in<br />

the past. We haven’t changed a<br />

whole lot,” said superintendent<br />

George Moriarty. “We’ll have<br />

small bottle fed calves that kids<br />

can feed as they come through.<br />

They really love that.”<br />

Moriarty noted that there will<br />

also be baby goats on hay bales<br />

jumping all over the place, and<br />

other small animals that the<br />

children can hold with the help<br />

of one of the many 4-H Club<br />

volunteers.<br />

“It’s a truly hands-on experience,”<br />

Moriarty said.<br />

farms, they are usually given<br />

away by the end of the fair.<br />

“They are always a big hit with<br />

the kids. The potbelly pigs too,”<br />

Moriarty said. “Most of the<br />

animals are usually for sale too,<br />

like the calves, mother sow and<br />

baby pigs.”<br />

There may be many interesting<br />

animals roaming around<br />

the barn, but it’s the people that<br />

Moriarty loves the most.<br />

Iowa State University Extension<br />

and Outreach’s Ag-Citing<br />

Program brings local third- and<br />

fourth-grade students to the<br />

fairgounds where they spend<br />

four hours touring several<br />

buildings, having a sack lunch<br />

and learning all about agriculture.<br />

“We walk in concert with that<br />

program, and Grandpa’s Barn<br />

is definitely a highlight, it’s really<br />

exciting for them,” Moriarty<br />

said. “Watching the expressions<br />

on the kids’ faces is great. We<br />

even have a group of blind<br />

students who’ve come through<br />

the past four years and watching<br />

them interact with the animals<br />

and the volunteers working<br />

with those kids is terrific.”<br />

It’s not just the young children<br />

and students that bring a<br />

smile to Moriarty and the volunteers<br />

at Grandpa’s Barn.<br />

“We have a life-size mock cow<br />

that can be milked and everyone<br />

can give it a try. It’s so fun to<br />

see grandmothers that sit down<br />

to give it shot and say ‘Oh my, I<br />

haven’t done this for 50 years!’”<br />

Young or old, well-versed in<br />

agriculture or new to farm life,<br />

Grandpa’s Barn has plenty of<br />

experiences for the whole family<br />

to enjoy. F<br />

Scarecrows on parade<br />

Great Akron Scarecrow Festival on Saturday, Sept. 16<br />

Fall is unofficially here with the<br />

passing of Labor Day. While many<br />

are sad about saying goodbye<br />

to warm days, the freedom of summer<br />

vacation and family barbeques, others<br />

are saying a happy hello to the new<br />

season.<br />

Some of those people are the organizers<br />

of the 17th annual Great Akron<br />

Scarecrow Festival. The celebration is<br />

set to take place from 10 a.m.-4 p.m.<br />

on Saturday, Sept. 16.<br />

The festival will be held in Akron<br />

City Park and is free to attend. It<br />

will feature a scarecrow decorating<br />

contest, homemade food and baked<br />

goods, kids’ games, a petting zoo and<br />

craft vendors.<br />

The event is hosted and organized<br />

by the Akron Friendship & Service<br />

Club, which is a non-profit charitable<br />

and service organization that is part<br />

of the General Federation of Women’s<br />

Clubs.<br />

The theme for the festival this year<br />

will once again be “Dive into Fall.”<br />

“We chose it to highlight the Akron<br />

community’s efforts to raise money<br />

for renovations and improvements<br />

of the city swimming pool. The city is<br />

in the design and fundraising stages<br />

of the project and we’re excited to<br />

commit a portion of festival proceeds<br />

toward it,” said LeAnne Philips, a<br />

member of the Akron Friendship &<br />

Service Club. “The city is also donating<br />

a 2018 family season pass to the<br />

scarecrow that best fits the ‘Dive into<br />

Fall’ theme. We were able to donate<br />

$2,000 toward the project in 2016 and<br />

looking forward to contributing more<br />

after this year’s event.”<br />

Money is raised by tickets purchased<br />

for the kids activities, food<br />

sales, fees from the 40-plus vendors<br />

and the auction of the scarecrows.<br />

One of the biggest draws of the<br />

event is the scarecrow decorating<br />

contest and auction. Contestants of<br />

all ages are encouraged to create and<br />

decorate a scarecrow. They can be<br />

any shape, size and fit any theme.<br />

Those scarecrows will be judged and<br />

awarded prizes in a number of categories<br />

and age brackets. The scarecrow<br />

auction will then take place at 2 p.m.<br />

Typically there are around 50-75<br />

scarecrows in the contest.<br />

The whole day couldn’t run without<br />

a large number of volunteers, according<br />

to Philips.<br />

“It takes 40 to 50 student volunteers<br />

to keep all of the activities running<br />

all day. Akron-Westfield FFA students<br />

help set up and staff the petting zoo<br />

(which will include a zebra and<br />

camel this year), the Art Club does<br />

face painting, and students from the<br />

A-W dance team, National History<br />

Day program and Johnson Juniors<br />

4-H Club work at carnival games.”<br />

Philips said. “It is fun to see the older<br />

kids who have great memories of the<br />

festival now coming to help.”<br />

Last year, the Friendship & Service<br />

Club was able to donate and support<br />

projects in the school and communities<br />

with the funds raised during the<br />

event. In total, they donated more<br />

than $10,000 to around 25 groups<br />

and projects following the 2016 Great<br />

Akron Scarecrow Festival.<br />

In addition to allowing them to do<br />

good things for the community, the<br />

event itself, is a great way for the community<br />

to celebrate the new season.<br />

“For me, the best part is seeing the<br />

park full of families enjoying the day<br />

together. I love seeing the creative<br />

scarecrows each year, especially this<br />

year with new prize categories. There<br />

are so many great vendors, too — so<br />

many fall crafts, branded goods and<br />

homemade goodies make it the perfect<br />

way to kick off the fall season.”<br />

Philips said. F<br />

Birding on the Green hosts fall event on Monday, Sept. 11 at Brooks<br />

Birding enthusiasts will be listening<br />

on Monday, Sept. 11, at Brooks<br />

National Golf Club in Okoboji.<br />

They’ll also be scanning the skies.<br />

Monday, Sept. 11, will be the last in<br />

this year’s Birding on the Green series.<br />

Birding on the Green takes birdwatchers<br />

to Brooks, an Auduboncertified<br />

golf course next door to<br />

Kenue Park in Okoboji for a morning<br />

of bird watching. The group meets the<br />

first Mondays of the month from May<br />

through September at Brooks at 7 a.m.<br />

Participants will be able to drive<br />

golf carts through the course to try<br />

and spy or hear a variety of birds with<br />

help from local birders Ed Thelen and<br />

Lee Schoenewe.<br />

This summer there were between<br />

eight to 16 people who participated<br />

at each of the Birding on the Green<br />

events. The age range was mostly<br />

adults, but there were some youth and<br />

families who attended an event.<br />

Over the summer the attendees<br />

were able to spot some interesting<br />

birds.<br />

“We were able to see so many awesome<br />

birds this summer. I think my<br />

favorite morning, was spotting four<br />

green heron and a red tailed hawk,”<br />

said Bryanna Kuhlman, the environmental<br />

education coordinator at the<br />

Dickinson County Nature Center.<br />

“However at every Birding on the<br />

Green this summer, we spotted over<br />

30-50 bird species.”<br />

Last month they saw these varieties:<br />

Canada geese, wood duck, trumpeter<br />

swan, osprey, northern cardinal, killdeer,<br />

green heron, willow flycatcher,<br />

mourning dove, eastern kingbird,<br />

purple martin and lots more.<br />

In August there were a total of 40<br />

bird species identified and 483 birds<br />

spotted.<br />

During the final Birding on the<br />

Green they are hoping to spot some<br />

different birds.<br />

“During our Sept. 11 event, I hope<br />

that we will see some migratory birds<br />

heading south for the winter,” Kuhlman<br />

said. “However, in the fall this<br />

can be a challenge as migration of<br />

different species varies greatly and is<br />

more spread out this time of year. It<br />

also can be more challenging because<br />

birds have molted into their less colorful<br />

plumage.”<br />

If you aren’t sure birding is for you,<br />

go ahead and give it a try. You never<br />

know if you might be a secret ornithologist.<br />

“I think that birding fascinates<br />

people because you are able to see<br />

so many awesome species of birds<br />

within such a small area. I love our<br />

birding programs because it allows<br />

our attendees to hear and see the<br />

biodiversity of animals that truly surround<br />

us,” Kuhlman said. “Although<br />

we focus our efforts on bird species,<br />

birding is also a wonderful time to<br />

view our mammals and amphibians<br />

native to Iowa.” F<br />
