Side Trip:
We enjoyed a lovely evening under
nature’s canopy of oak trees while
attending the season-opening
event at Pearson Lakes Art Center last week.
It was easy to practice social distancing
on the hillside, with
some folks bringing
their own chairs, others
claiming a spot
on the stone retaining
walls, and some simply
standing in small
groups to visit.
In chatting with
PLAC executive director
Bob Kirschbaum,
we learned it was not
an easy decision to
know if they should
host the event. So true.
MYRNA
WAGNER
We were grateful they made the decision
to proceed as we turned it into a date night,
something that has been challenging to do
over the last few months.
That seems to be the case with pretty
much everything this summer. Few decisions
are clear-cut and obvious. Should we
have live music? Can we promote that we’re
having live music? Will people remember
to social distance?
My daughter and I made a visit to the
Arnolds Park farmers’ market on Saturday
morning, another location where social
distancing is easy. People stayed back from
the booths until the person ahead of them
completed their purchases. Several groups
were done with their shopping, but stayed
to listen to the music while sipping a
bloody mary from the bar. It was nice.
Saturday evening we walked the new
boardwalk to take in the fireworks for some
more socially-distanced entertainment.
With no Live at the Lakes events happening,
Fourth of July will look — and
sound Iowa Information
PUBLISHERS — AND different PRINTERS this year. But we can still
enjoy the fabulous fireworks displays and
celebrate American freedoms.

We’ve got everything from nice antiques to some newer things. It’s a
nice conglomeration of different things. There will be jewelry, 31 Gifts,
Tupperware, Scentsy, beef jerky, collectible cards, old tools, glass,
antiques and more.
Garth Neisess

FUN
Flea Markets are on for the
Fourth at Treasure Village
and Vick’s Corner
It’s time, once again, to go treasure
hunting.
Two Iowa Great Lakes spots will
be hosting their annual flea markets
the weekend of the Fourth of July:
Treasure Village and Vick’s Corner.
The traditional third spot is at the
Dickinson County Expo Building,
but they canceled their event for the
weekend of July 4.
Both the flea markets at Treasure
Village and Vick’s Corner are held
outside and are set to take place from
July 3-5.
This will be Treasure Village’s first
flea market event of the year and
things will be a little different from
normal.
“We have fewer vendors this time.
Some of our older vendors who have
health issues have bowed out and
hopefully will return when things
are better,” said Garth Neisess, the
flea market manager at Treasure Village.
“At last count we have about
25 vendors coming when we would
normally have about 55.”
Because their event takes place
outside and they are able to spread
out their vendors even more than
they would normally, they are hoping
that helps everyone in complying
with social distancing guidelines.
“Each vendor has been given additional
room to spread out and be
separated from each other. We did
also give them all safety suggestions,”
Flea Markets will be taking place July 3-5 at both Treasure
Village in Milford and at Vick’s Corner in Spirit Lake
this Fourth of July weekend. PHOTO BY RYLAN HOWE
said Linnea Lambert,
the managing director
of Treasure Village.
The vendors who will be in attendance
will come and set up for the
event on Thursday, July 2, and there
will be a wide range of items they
will have for sale.
“We’ve got everything from nice
antiques to some newer things. It’s
a nice conglomeration of different
things,” Neisses said. “There will be

jewelry, 31 Gifts, Tupperware, Scentsy,
beef jerky, collectible cards, old tools,
glass, antiques and more.”
Both the vendors and the organizers
at Treasure Village are excited
about being able to host their event
the weekend of the Fourth of July.
“We had a lot of feedback from our
vendors that they were disappointed
we didn’t have the Flea Market in
May and they are anxious to come,”
Neisess said.
“We are hoping both locals and
tourists use common sense and
proper hygiene and stay home if they
are sick,” Lambert said. F

Full Moon Fun
Barefoot Bar
celebrates lunar event
with Rolling Thunder
It won’t be full quite yet for Independence Day, but the
moon will be ready the following day.
Sunday, July 5. marks the next Full Moon Party at the Barefoot
Bar in Okoboji and it promises to be a great, fun atmosphere
once again.
There is no cover charge and there will be live music all afternoon
and evening.
Dueling pianos
kick things off at
3:30 p.m.
As the afternoon
winds down and
evening sets in, the
party hits the next
gear.
“Barefoot Bar
knows how to
throw a Full Moon
Party, so join us for
our seafood boil or
Phamous Phil’s BBQ Ribs and howl at the moon!” said Jackie
Olson, graphic design and marketing for Parks Marina.
The next musical act of the day gets underway at 7 p.m. as
Rolling Thunder takes the stage.
“They bring a high-voltage, energy-packed performance replicating
the music of an AC/DC concert that leaves audiences
thunderstruck,” Olson said.
Lots of food, live music and plenty of fun.
Sounds like another fabulous Full Moon Party at the Barefoot
Bar. F

“In the late 19th century,
the lakes region became a
resort area and the small
steamboats and sailboats
could not keep up with the
flow of vacationers. The
Queen, a large steamer,
was constructed, along with
other larger boats, to accommodate
this new need.
By the 1920s, the construction
of roads around the
lakes brought about the
demise of most of the fleet.
In 1973 the Queen was finally
retired, after 89 years
of service. The Queen II was
commissioned and built in
1986 and she was designated
the ‘Flagship of the
Iowa Navy.’”
— From www.arnoldspark.com

Cruise control
Queen II sets forth with amended summer schedule
The repairs are complete and the
Queen II is ready to cruise once
again.
The Queen II will be making its
regular one-hour-and-fifteen-minute
loop around West Lake Okoboji,
starting at 1 p.m. Monday, July 6,
after undergoing mechanical and
cosmetic repairs the past few weeks.
The vessel had been out of commission
due to damage incurred after
experiencing mechanical and power
issues while attempting to dock during
stormy weather in early June.
There will now be four cruises
departing Fridays and Saturdays at 1,
3, 5 and 7 p.m. from the Queen II’s
post in front of Arnolds Park Amusement
Park. During the week there
will be cruises at 1 and 3 p.m. Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday, and
three cruises Thursday and Sunday at
1, 3 and 5 p.m.
Tickets range from $5.95 for children
to $16.95 for adults and $59.95
for a season pass good for unlimited
rides all summer long.
The Queen II has its own dedicated
ticket window allowing those
interested in taking a cruise the
opportunity to skip the line at the
amusement park windows.
That is where the experience will
begin to differ from seasons past.
“What they’re going to do there
is show you a seating chart of both
decks with groups of chairs all set
six feet apart,” said Casey Schmidt,
events manager at Arnolds Park
Amusement Park.
The chairs are placed together in
groups of two, four and six apiece.
Guests are able to pick out their preferred
placement.
It’s a first-come first served basis.
“If we’re all sold out of two-person
groupings and there are only two
of you then ideally you’ll get into
a four-person grouping instead, so
that no matter what those who come
together can sit together, but nobody
outside of your group will be sitting
close to you,” Schmidt said.
There are a total of 66 spots available
though Schmidt noted it would
have to take some perfect math and
quite a bit of coincidence to get every
chair filled.
Bright taping will give folks a
guideline to maintaining proper
social distancing while waiting to
board the vessel and each guest will
have their temperature checked before
stepping foot on the Queen II.
They will be following guidelines
from the CDC with a temperature of
100.3 degrees being the threshold for
someone to be unable to ride.
“That dock is not covered and
sometimes you have wait there in
the sun, so if they don’t meet that
we’ll give them a chance to cool
off — we have air conditioning now
on the Queen so that’s a huge plus,”
Schmidt said. “If they still can’t get
that temp down we’ll be happy to
refund them or try to get them on the
next cruise.”
Staff and guests will all be required
to wear masks.
Once on the water guests will be
treated to the usual leisurely cruise
around West Lake Okoboji. While
the pilot house will be off-limits this
season, the ever-popular bow will
still be open for photo ops and views
from the front of the vessel as it parts
the waves.
“That’s a very popular part of the
boat and we do have an announcement
letting guests know about
traffic flow and to take a photograph
and enjoy the view for a minute
but then move on so others can do
the same,” Schmidt said. “We just
ask that everyone be respectful, and
we’ve been lucky that’s been the case.
People have been ‘Iowa nice’ as I’d
call it, especially here.”
Schmidt also noted the importance
of having the Queen II cruise
the waters as people seek some
sort of solace from a turbulent few
months.
“I truly think that along with the
amusement park and the fireworks,
the Queen brings a sense of normalcy,
a sense of healing to Dickinson
County that people need right now,”
Schmidt said. “People love hearing
that boat whistle and I know that
people love seeing it out on the water.”

Four comedians reminisce about their high school days in
the early nineties until the recollection of an embarrassing
moment sends them on a road trip to set up a series of
hidden-camera pranks. With the reputation of three of the
jokers on the line, the guys hope that their hidden-camera
stunts will redeem the events of the past.
After killing a traveling preacher, a fugitive drifter poses as
his victim and endears himself to a Texas town with his
persuasive sermons on forgiveness. The local police chief,
however, suspects that something is amiss and initiates an
investigation after a body is found in the quarry.
