ON THE COVER 

Side Trips 

My family does not like raisins. 

So while I keep a small container of 

raisins in the pantry to occasionally 

throw into my morning oatmeal, I rarely cook 

with them. 

Last week I needed 

cinnamon raisin bread 

for a recipe we were going 

to photograph for 

our sister publication 

OKOBOJI Magazine. I 

used my bread machine 

to prepare the dough, 

and since I added the 

raisins right at the 

beginning, they got 

broken apart into little 

pieces during the kneading 

process. 

I baked the bread in 

MYRNA 

WAGNER 

a loaf pan for traditional shaped slices, but 

my loaf turned out a little lopsided and I was 

concerned of how it would photograph. 

I trimmed one end cap to see if the lopsided 

loaf would be salvageable and decided it would 

do. I then stored the bread in a zip-top bag until 

I needed it. 

Life got busy for the next few days, and the 

photo shoot still hadn’t taken place. Jeff, seeing 

that cut loaf of bread still in the fridge on 

a night when I was getting home late, decided 

I shouldn’t have to cook, and would just have 

bread instead. 

I’m not sure whose facial expression was 

worse — his or mine — when I arrived home 

and he announced, “That bread you made was 

pretty good.” 

After staring at him in dismay, I heard myself 

ask, “Why on earth would you eat RAISIN 

bread?” 

“Well, you really couldn’t tell,” he said. 

“There weren’t any big raisins and it tasted 

more like cinnamon.” 

No sense crying over sliced bread, and I had 

enough ingredients for a second loaf. Good 

news is the second loaf looked better than the 

first.

PETOBERFEST 

People for Pets hosts fundraiser on Oct. 14 

At a Glance: 

WHAT: PetOberfest 2017 

WHERE: Spencer Community Theatre,

People for Pets 

People For Pets is a non-profit 

organization devoted to finding loving 

homes for abandoned pets by 

dedicated volunteers who put in an 

average of 1500 hours of service 

per month. We have an agreement 

with the city of Spencer, IA, to find 

homes for all stray cats and dogs 

not claimed within three business 

days. Before this agreement was 

made, these loving pets were put 

to sleep! 

People For Pets helps pets find 

loving homes and people find loving 

pets. We also promote spaying 

and neutering to help control the 

pet population. All dogs/cats are 

spayed/neutered prior to adoption 

unless they are too young or have 

not yet been scheduled for the procedure. 

From peopleforpets.org. 

You are invited to celebrate Oktoberfest, 

People for Pets-style, 

at PetOberfest. 

For the second year, People for 

Pets will be hosting their PetOberfest 

fundraiser on Saturday, Oct. 14 from 

5-8 p.m. at the Spencer Community 

Theatre. 

While the night is about having lots 

of fun with a distinctly German flair, 

it’s also about raising awareness and 

money for People For Pets. 

“The purpose is to bring awareness 

to the shelter, celebrate all the 

wonderful people that support and 

volunteer to make People for Pets a 

success, and to raise money to keep 

our shelter going, as it is completely 

supported by donations and has no 

government funding,” said Heather 

Storey with People for Pets. “This 

will help ensure that we can continue 

to rehabilitate and care for rescued 

animals as we work to find them their 

forever homes.” 

The night will include lots of fun 

entertainment for all. 

The band Polka Police will be providing 

live music for the event, and 

according to Storey, the band puts a 

“really fun spin on polka with their 

rockin’ parodies, covers and some 

original music as well.” 

To keep with the German style, 

they’ll also be providing some interesting 

German-inspired foods such 

as brats, smoked salmon and capers 

canapes, tomato and basil caprese 

kabobs, shrimp cups, artichoke bites 

and a number of desserts. 

And it would be an Oktoberfest 

party without one special drink. 

“We also have West O Beer on tap, 

domestic beer, an assortment of wine 

and non-alcoholic beverages as well,” 

Storey added. 

The organizers will be bringing 

back the popular “Wine Wall” where 

a small donation allows participants 

to enter into a drawing for a “mystery” 

bottle of wine whose value may be as 

much as $100. 

There will also be a live auction as 

well. 

There will be a number of prizes 

auctioned off including a fat tire 

bike, an Okoboji boat cruise, indoor 

fireplace, Cyclone’s patio chairs and 

tickets, a Crown Royal quilt, weekend 

getaways, a YMCA membership and 

more. 

It’s a fun night for all, including the 

organizers. 

“Aside from all the fun interacting 

with people who support the shelter 

and partaking in the events that evening, 

I think we all agree that it’s fun 

hearing how happy former adopters 

are having found their beloved pet 

from People for Pets or really any 

rescue facility for that matter,” Storey 

said. 

“This event brings us all together 

and helps make sure we can keep 

making these connections between 

humans and their furry kids!” F 

“This event brings 

us all together and 

helps make sure we 

can keep making 

these connections 

between humans and 

their furry kids!”

Road Trippin’ 

Artists showcase their work and their work space 

The road trip is a classic American 

pastime. Sometimes they simply 

serve as a vacation. Sometimes 

they can be considered a rite of passage. 

For 14 years area artisans have 

put together a road trip of their own 

and everyone is invited to come along 

for the ride. 

This year’s Artisans Road Trip will be 

Saturday, Oct.14 from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. 

and Sunday, Oct. 15 from noon-5 p.m. 

A.R.T. is a free self-driving studio 

tour with more than 30 stops at the 

home studios of artists, as well as 

galleries where artists have chosen to 

display their work. 

Bruce Morrison has been a member 

of A.R.T. since the beginning and will 

be opening up his rural Sutherland 

studio once again. 

“The goal at the beginning was to 

have some sort of organized event, 

to get work seen,” Morrison said. “As 

opposed to bringing work to galleries 

and putting together an exhibit, it’s 

a way to bring people to the artists. 

I think we’ve accomplished that goal 

and now it’s also grown into a much 

bigger event.” 

Artists now have several avenues 

through which their art can be seen. 

“We’re now exhibiting as a group 

throughout the spring, summer and 

winter becoming a vehicle for artists 

to be seen in more places,” Morrison 

said. “Many artists couldn’t have their 

own show because maybe they’ve 

only done a couple pieces that year, 

but can bring them to a group show.” 

In the decade-plus run of the road 

trip, Morrison has missed only one 

chance to show his studio to visitors. 

“In 2007 we were rebuilding the 

studio and at the time of the road trip 

it had no roof,” Morrison said with 

a laugh. “And it rained that weekend 

so people would have been wading 

through a pool if they’d have come by!” 

With no such projects in the works 

this year, Morrison looks forward 

to once again inviting visitors to see 

where he works. 

Morrison specializes in photography, 

painting, colored pencil and 

printmaking, mostly covering the 

landscapes and habitat near his home. 

Sometimes he works en plein air, 

directly from the scene of his inspiriation, 

other times he works using photographs 

as reference points. 

“Sometimes when I’m taking pictures 

I’ll see something that’s pretty 

cool but not quite clicking at the 

moment and I can work from the 

photos later,” Morrison said. “When 

I’m photographing birds and things 

it’s fun and usually for reference for 

a painting or colored pencil drawing 

later. Sometimes I just like the photograph 

the best.” 

During Artisans Road Trip, Morrison 

enjoys meeting new people and 

seeing those people in turn spread the 

word about the great artwork being 

done in northwest Iowa. 

“It’s fun for them to see the studio 

too, which has a story in itself since 

it used to house sheep and chickens 

at different points in time,” Morrison 

said. “I enjoy seeing their reactions 

when they step on the deck. I don’t 

think most people realize we have 

such nice views in O’Brien County.” 

In O’Brien County, and beyond, 

visitors enjoying the Artisans Road Trip 

will get to see where artists get their 

inspiration, and where they get down 

to the business of creating their art. 

Morrison suggests people interested 

should visit the website, www.artisansroadtrip.com, 

where they can find 

links to each artist’s work, as well as 

maps to each location. 

“Many are concentrated in certains 

areas so if you’re short on time you can 

find a few clustered close together, or 

spend parts of both days seeing more 

places, and stop and see me along the 

way!,” Morrison said. “It’s a great way 

to get out and enjoy the day, see different 

artists and different types of work 

including painting, pottery, sculpture, 

and jewelry. It’s a really good outing 

for the weekend.” F

Icky Animals 

Tots learn about creepy critters 

All manner of creatures 

can be found just outside 

your door. Bugs, spiders, 

snakes and other such critters 

may not get as much love as 

their more cuddly counterparts, 

but they have an important 

role in the ecosystem 

nonetheless. 

Toddlers taking in the next 

installment of Nature Tots will 

learn all about these creatures 

and their roles in nature. 

“Icky Animals” will take 

place Wednesday, Oct. 11, 

with one session at 10:30 a.m. 

and another at 1:30 p.m. at 

the Dickinson County Nature 

Center. Space is limited to 25 

children per session so preregistration 

is recommended. 

“We’ll start out going on an 

animal hunt, if you will,” said 

Bryanna Kuhlman, the nature 

center’s environmental education 

coordinator. 

Artificial rubber, plastic or 

papper snakes, spiders, frogs 

and more, will be placed 

around the nature center in 

what would be their normal 

natural habitat. 

After the outdoor adventure 

visitors will get a chance to see 

some of the real thing. 

“They’ll get an up close look at 

our toad, frog and tarantula, and 

a chance to touch a snake,” Kuhlman 

said. “We’ll also take a trip to 

the nature center’s bat cave.” 

Part of the main points of this 

installment of Nature Tots will 

be to explain the importance of 

these particular creatures. 

Kuhlman said they’ll also 

talk about what they should do 

if they came across any of these 

creatures in the wild. 

“We’ll talk about why they’re 

important to the habitat and 

ecosystem and how they’re 

good for the environment,” 

Kuhlman said. “They can be 

scary to some but if we start 

them learning young hopefully

There are two more meetings for the tots in 2017.

those fears won’t grow as they 

get older.” 

In her first year helping lead 

the educational series of events, 

Kuhlman has really enjoyed 

the enthusiasm shown by her 

young pupils. 

“They’re so excited to see 

everything and to be outside,” 

Kuhlman said. “Having the opportunity 

to see things at their 

level and see their enthusiasm 

has been great. Something as 

simple as acorns at our last 

event may not be exciting to 

adults but the kids thought it 

was the coolest thing ever.” 

Kuhlman hopes the children 

attending Nature Tots take home 

what they learn and spread their 

enthusiasm for nature. 

“I hope everyone take the 

time to enjoy icky animals just 

like our nature tots,” Kuhlman 

said. F

Trick or Treat Hike set for Oct. 14 

Halloween is coming early at Oak 

Grove Park. 

Once again this year, the Sioux 

County Conservation Board is inviting 

kids ages 12 and under to come 

and trick or treat in costume at Oak 

Grove Park on Saturday, Oct. 14, from 

5:30-8 p.m. 

The Trick or Treat Hike has been going 

on since 2004. 

“When I first started in 1998 we 

were doing a skit hike where there 

were volunteers along the trail 

and groups of 30 people would go 

through at a time and listen to the 

skits,” said Sunday Ford, the assistant 

director and environmental education 

coordinator with the Sioux County 

Conservation Board. “It got to where 

it was tough to get the time for the 

volunteers to practice, so I suggested 

why don’t we just do a trick or treat in 

the campground.” 

They decided to help fill the campground 

with people that they would 

offer free camping on Friday and 

Saturday night if people would bring 

enough candy to pass out to all the 

trick-or-treaters. 

Over the years, the event has grown 

and grown. 

It expanded from only taking place 

in the Deer Run Campground to filling 

both Deer Run and Turkey Ridge 

Campgrounds. There are 19 camp 

sites in Turkey Ridge and 57 in Deer 

Run. They don’t fill all the tent sites, 

but some people do rent cabins and 

then bring their candy to the campsite 

to set up. 

The people have to bring enough 

candy for more than 700 kids. Last 

year, Ford said they had 730 trickor-treaters. 

And that’s just the kids. It 

doesn’t include the rest of the family 

that usually tags along for the event. 

The campsites are open for reservations 

the day after Labor Day and they 

are always filled quickly. 

“This year the phone calls started 

coming in on Tuesday at about 8 

a.m. and a little after 9 we were full,” 

Ford said. “We have a lot of people 

who return year after year and a lot 

of newbies too. People can reserve a 

site for themselves and for someone 

else and it’s a fun way to bring friends 

together.” 

No pre-registration is needed for the 

trick-or-treaters. 

There will be a luminary trail leading 

between the campgrounds and 

then people can make their way down 

to the river for a bonfire. 

The entire evening is a fun one for 

both campers and trick-or-treaters. 

And for the people who work to organize 

it every year. 

“When I think about what I like 

most about the event, what comes to 

mind is a picture of all different ages 

of kids in costumes, the leaves turning 

and people — families — enjoying 

the outdoors and the campground 

together,” Ford said. “The luminaries 

that light the way are milk jugs with 

candles in them. It’s just beautiful at 

night.” F

Fairytale Pumpkins 

and many, many more... 


Piles of pumpkins 

Fulfill your fall to-do list at Hawk Valley Garden 

A 

small family enterprise has 

reached it’s 15th anniversary. 

Hawk Valley Garden maintains 

the same family-friendly atmosphere, 

and continues to showcase quite a 

variety of heirloom pumpkins and 

gourds at the family home just east 

of Spencer. 

Hawk Valley is open 4-7 p.m. during 

weekdays and 10 a.m.-6 p.m. on 

weekends. They are closed on Mondays. 

Guests this year can expect a particularly 

large bounty. 

“We had a really good crop this year 

and an extended picking season,” said 

owner Sue Loring. “Normally we pick 

a couple times and we may be able to 

pick three or four times this year.” 

That means more jack-o-lanterns, 

cinderellas, blue jarradales and all 

kinds of pumpkins for carving, decorating 

and pie making. 

“Blaze” pumpkins were sold at 

Hawk Valley last year for the first time, 

and this year they grew some of their 

own. They continue to focus on heirloom 

varieties and pride themselves 

on being a true pumpkin market. 

The family operation is in full swing 

this year as Sue’s son, Zach, has been 

on hand to help after graduating from 

college. Her daughter, Liz, continues 

in her role as manager. Sue and her 

husband, Bruce, continue to do a little 

bit of everything. 

They continue to welcome customers 

from all over the state and beyond 

to their own backyard for a bit of fall 

pumpkin shopping. 

Part of the growing customer base 

is a growing presence online for the 

garden. 

“We keep up our online presence 

with Facebook, Twitter, Instagram,” 

Loring said. “We try to keep things as 

up-to-date as best as possible.” 

That means informing customers 

when they decide to extend their 

hours on a particular day, what varieties 

are on hand, as well as any potential 

changes due to weather. 

This constant communication has 

brought in new customers as well. 

“I enjoy the fact that people who 

follow us online come out to visit. 

I’ve had one from Waterloo come all 

the way with her whole family after 

conversing on Facebook,” Loring said. 

“We have people that come from 

Sioux Falls and even from northern 

Minnesota.” 

A loyal customer base and wide 

variety of pumpkins on display contributes 

to the small operation’s continuing 

popularity. 

They’ve made several Top 10 lists including 

the number six spot on Travel 

Iowa’s list of pumpkin patches. 

“That’s something that boggles my 

mind. It’s wonderful and wouldn’t 

happen without great people and repeat 

customers that we see every year,” 

Loring said. 

A big draw according to Loring, is 

Hawk Valley’s pumpkin stackers as 

well as custom painted pumpkins. 

“We take the time to make an art of 

it,” Loring said. 

There are, of course, several Iowa 

Hawkeye and Iowa State Cyclone 

pumpkins, as well as simple greetings 

painted in numerous colors. 

A cowboy scene was painted on one 

pumpkin this year for the Branding 

Iron Cafe at the Clay County Fair. 

There are also scenes and characters 

from the Disney film “Frozen” as well 

as depictions of the Minions from the 

“Despicable Me” film franchise. 

Sue and Liz spend Wednesday, 

Thursday and Friday nights painting 

pumpkins and Sue estimates about 

half are ready-to-go and half are custom 

orders. 

“Last year we did a lot of breast 

cancer awareness pumpkins donating 

them to hospitals and cancer centers. 

Doing special things like that and 

being able to give back makes us the 

most happy,” Loring said. 

Loring says Saturday mornings are 

the best time to see the full range of 

offerings at Hawk Valley Garden. 

Each year they continue to learn 

what works best and expand those 

offerings to best meet and exceed the 

expectations of their customers. F

Sweet Land, the musical 

Land, the musical” is onstage at the Worthington 

Memorial Auditorium. The show will start at 7 

“Sweet 

p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 15. 

The show follows Inge Altenberg’s journeys to America to 

marry a bachelor farmer, sight unseen. But in the wake of 

WWI, Inge’s German heritage turns her new neighbors against 

the match. Under cathedral skies, the determined young immigrant 

and her stoic farmer fight for their lives, facing their 

own misgivings and the harshness of an unforgiving land. A 

lyrical celebration of hard-won independence and a reflection 

of generations past, Sweet Land reminds us of who we are— 

and where we came from.
