By Tyler Julson

tyler.julson@albertleatribune.com

The Geneva Cancer Run is set to take place June 9. The run is a 120-mile ride for cars and motorcycles to help raise awareness and funds for people going through cancer. The seventh annual installment of the event will start and end at Geneva Bar & Grill and costs $10 per rider.

Rider check-in is between 9 a.m. and 10:45 a.m., with the ride starting shortly after. The first stop along the way will also have a catered lunch provided by Hormel, Mrs. Gerry’s, HyVee, Fastenal and Geneva Bar & Grill.

Shortly after the arrival back at Geneva Bar & Grill, a live auction will be held, followed by a night of fun and live music.

Who Let the Mommas Out will take the stage around 6:30 p.m., and Badd Newz will follow around 8:30 p.m.

Camping spaces are available in the city park where campers, tents and motorhomes can be brought after 4 p.m.

“We are so proud of all our riders, and the way they respect other riders and the rules of the road,” Randall said. “We are entering our seventh year and are so proud to say we have a core group that works so hard to make money to help others.”

In its first six years, the event has raised nearly $60,000 and has donated to families within the area who have been affected by the disease, as well as to the Geneva Cancer Auction and the Eagles Cancer Telethon.

Geneva Bar & Grill is at 101 W. Main St. in Geneva.

all the area’s cancer survivors

By Colleen Harrison

colleen.harrison@albertleatribune.com

The American Cancer Society’s Freeborn County Relay for Life will be Aug. 11 at the Freeborn County Fairgrounds in Albert Lea. According to the event’s website, Relay for Life is the world’s largest fundraising event to end cancer and has the most impact.

The event runs from 3 to 11 p.m., starting with an opening ceremony. The opening ceremony is meant to bring everyone together for a high-energy event kickoff to celebrate the lives of those who have battled cancer, to inspire hope by sharing recent accomplishments and progress, and to remind everyone that fighting cancer is a year-round priority, according to the American Cancer Society.

A survivors and caregivers lap will follow the opening ceremony. During the

survivors lap, upbeat music plays as all cancer survivors at the event take the first lap around the track cheered on by the other participants who line the track, celebrating their victory over cancer.

During the caregivers lap, anyone who ever cared for someone with cancer walks a lap so they can be honored for their support. Caregivers walk the lap with the people they helped if they are also present at the event.

Next is a luminaria ceremony that honors people who currently have cancer, those who have fought it in the past and those who’s lives have been lost because of it.

The closing ceremony will finish off the night. Closing ceremonies at the event are meant to remember the lives of those lost and to celebrate that each of the event’s participants have committed to fight back against the disease over the next year.

ArtWorks Festival becoming the place to be in Austin late August

By Deb Nicklay

news@albertleatribune.com

There was a time when the Austin ArtWorks Festival Committee might not have been the first group an artist or musical act might call “for a date,” so to speak.

Boy, has that changed.

Established as an art festival with depth of purpose — a venue that honors visual artists, authors and musicians — the festival is attracting top flight artists on all fronts.

“It feels really good,” said Austin Area Commission for the Arts Executive Director Laura Helle. “It feels like we’ve turned a corner. I think our dedication to having a solid, juried art show” has paid off, and artists are taking the festival seriously.

So it’s no secret that this year’s slogan is “There’s More People Approaching Us.” The Aug. 25-26 event returns to the outdoor green space that stretches from the corner of Second Street Northeast and Fourth Avenue Northeast toward Main Street, and the Paramount to the north, and ArtWorks Center to the south.

Visual artists will once again have booths on the green space, while the featured artist exhibit – mosaic artist

Michael Sweere — will be housed in the Historic Paramount Theatre Annex.

The Owatonna native worked in the advertising world for a time before establishing Michael Sweere Mosaic Company LLC and today lives in Minneapolis.

Sweere’s work incorporates recycled, salvaged and found items, found anywhere from thrift stores to lumber yards, which are then turned into sculptures and mosaic pieces.

Sweere was commissioned to create the 2016 Minnesota State Fair commemorative poster. The poster, titled “Lucky the Llama,” won first place at the International Association of Fairs and Expositions communication contest. His work can be seen in places like the Sioux Falls Regional Airport in South Dakota and Lakeview Hospital in Stillwater.

Also included near the Sweere exhibit will be, for the first time, an exhibit of local student art, from grades 1-12, Helle said “It’s something we’ve wanted to do and are really excited” to have the student work displayed, Helle said the committee has already received over 40 applications from artists — a good place to be in this early in the process, said Helle. That’s another indicator that the festival is gaining more

Local dance groups and singers will perform throughout the festival each month on the stage, with headliner Tony Cuchetti starting at 6 p.m. in June.

July’s event will include singer Paul Christian, and August’s headliner will be Patchouli, Karsjens said.

She said there will also be lots of photo opportunities for children throughout the day.

“There really is something for everyone — for every age group, all the demographics,” she said. “(There’s) something for someone who wants to come down and buy gifts, have lunch, have cold drinks and listen to music.

“It’s a kid-friendly event, but also a time for parents to meet in the evenings.”

The event has grown each year since its creation.

Wind Down Wednesday runs from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. each day.

Members of local veterans organizations, campaigning politicians, fire departments and other clubs and organizations participate albertleatribune.com for the latest news in a parade in 2014 during Borderfest. COLLEENVisit HARRISON/ALBERT LEA TRIBUNE

painting, train rides and a bounce house on the north end of the festival.

New this year for the older children and adults at the June festival will be a game called nine square in the air, which is a mix between four-square and volleyball, Karsjens said.

One of the biggest changes of the year will be the addition of themes for each festival and a spotlight on a nonprofit or community group.

In June the theme will be “Dog Days,” with a spotlight on the Humane Society of Freeborn County. People are encouraged to bring their dogs downtown for the event.

Karsjens said there will be things pertaining to dogs and pets throughout the festival, and water bowls will be available outside downtown businesses for the animals.

A portion of the Wind Down Wednesday proceeds will go back to the Humane Society, and The Pet Authority will host a kitty litter drive.

In July, the theme will be farming, and in August it will focus on The Greatest Generation — inviting local retirement

EVENTS ABOUND AT AREA GOLF COURSES

By Tyler Julson

tyler.julson@albertleatribune.com

The area of northern Iowa and southern Minnesota is full of nice public golf courses for those looking to get out and improve their game or just wanting a fun afternoon outside. However, for those golfers who want to bring out their more competitive side, many of the area courses offer various tournaments nearly every weekend throughout the summer.

One of the first major tournaments of the year is the Corey Goodnature Memorial Golf Classic. This tournament is a nine-hole, four-person best shot, but at this outing, the golf comes secondary.

The main goal of this tournament is to celebrate the life of Corey Goodnature, for those who knew him to gather and tell his story and for those who didn’t know him to come and learn his story, all while enjoying a nice day on the golf course.

Goodnature was killed while on duty in Afghanistan when his helicopter was shot down by enemy fire during combat operations. This tournament helps to raise funds for the scholarship fund set up in Goodnature’s name and is awarded to multiple area students every year. It is scheduled to take place June 23 at Green Lea Golf Course in Albert Lea. The next big tournament on the schedule is the 43rd annual Sparky Dan Kruse Memorial Golf Classic. This tournament is an 18-hole four-person scramble and also has a good cause at its core. The Sparky tournament focuses on raising funds to benefit people with developmental disabilities in Freeborn County.

Aside from the golf, this outing features on-course contests, an auction and a hole-in-one contest for a shot at $10,000.

The Sparky tournament is scheduled for July 12 at Wedgewood Golf Course in Albert Lea. The third tournament is possibly the most prestigious tournament in the area, the 91st annual Shortstop Tournament.

This massive single-man tournament spans three days at the beginning of September and is limited to the first 96 paid entrants. The first round is a qualifying round on Sept. 1.

Based on qualifying positions, participants will either play in the non-championship flights playing nine-hole matches on Sunday and Monday or the championship flight, playing 18-hole matches on Sunday and Monday.

This tournament has had the same champion two years running and is sure to draw some of the best golfers from across the area. The Shortstop tournament starts Sept. 1 and runs through Sept. 3 at Green Lea Golf Course.

City expects high use from community’s new splash Book release and Open Mic Night pad show, “The Escape

By Sarah Kocher

Sept. 15, 7 p.m.

sarah.kocher@albertleatribune.com

After a short season last year, the Albert Lea Splash Pad’s first full summer is well underway.

“I was amazed at the use,” Assistant Director of Public Works Phil Wacholz said of last year’s shorter open season starting in August.

Additionally, he said community responses were positive.

“You know with projects like that a lot of times people can be critical of the features or the way it was done or how it compares to other communities, but we got all good feedback.”

Wacholz said the splash pad saw heavy use through September, and estimates that in one week’s time last year, there were easily 350 unique users during the fall, when school was in session.

“I anticipate lots and lots of usage this summer,” Wacholz said.

This first full year will be a telling one for the city, Wacholz said, in splash pad use.

“The city’s going to take the first year to really monitor the splash pad’s use and make sure that it is as available as possible 916 S. Broadway Ave. for the community at all times,” he said.

Next for the splash pad, Wacholz said Albert Lea, MN 56007 the city would like to add accent or security lights added to the site, as well Albert Lea Tribune | 808 W. Front St. | AlbertasLea, MN 56007 507.371-1411 trash cans and |benches.

507.320.5921

The splash pad opened to the public in late summer 2017 after more than $150,000 was raised by the community to fund the project.

Additionally, Wacholz recommends splash pad visitors also invest in the location by keeping it clean and pleasant to use.

“We have this great amenity, and we want to be good stewards of it,” he said.

On the city’s part, that stewardship includes recycling much of the water used in the splash pad, storing it in an underground tank and pumping it out to water flowers.

Wacholz reminded community members to still watch their children at the splash pad for positive behavior and safety reasons.

After the weather cools, the assistant public works director said the city will shut the splash pad off to avoid nuisance use.

The 10th annual Shinefest Tractor Ride is July 21 and will raise money for the Shinefest week of service.

The day begins with a pancake breakfast at Freeborn County Fairgrounds.

A caravan of approximately 100 tractors will leave the fairgrounds at 9 a.m. The caravan will travel to Oak Park Place, then Thorne Crest Senior Living Community and St. John’s Lutheran Community, before traveling to Good Samaritan Society of Albert Lea and Crossroads Church for their first coffee break.

The group then travels to West Freeborn Church for dinner, then from Freeborn to Hartland. They will stop for breaks at West Freeborn Church and

Central Freeborn Church. The group will travel through Freeborn and Hartland and expects to return to Albert Lea at about 5 p.m.

Tractor rides are $35 — the cost covers the ride and dinner. Participants must provide their own tractor.

Organizer Dale Grotsun advised anyone interested in participating to sign up before July 1 — when the cost rises to $40 — to make the event easier to plan.

The event runs two classes of tractors — one that drives 14 mph and another at 10 mph.

Anyone with a valid driver’s license is welcome to join. Grotsun said riders have come from Minnesota, Iowa and Wisconsin.

Anyone interested in participating is advised to contact Grotsun at 507-3832766 or Mark Light at 507-402-0794.

Central Freeborn Church. The group will travel through Freeborn and Hartland and expects to return to Albert Lea at about 5 p.m.

Tractor rides are $35 — the cost covers the ride and dinner. Participants must provide their own tractor.

Organizer Dale Grotsun advised anyone interested in participating to sign up before July 1 — when the cost rises to $40 — to make the event easier to plan.

The event runs two classes of tractors — one that drives 14 mph and another at 10 mph.

Anyone with a valid driver’s license is welcome to join. Grotsun said riders have come from Minnesota, Iowa and Wisconsin.

Anyone interested in participating is advised to contact Grotsun at 507-3832766 or Mark Light at 507-402-0794.

Local dance groups and singers will perform throughout the festival each month on the stage, with headliner Tony Cuchetti starting at 6 p.m. in June.

July’s event will include singer Paul Christian, and August’s headliner will be Patchouli, Karsjens said.

She said there will also be lots of photo opportunities for children throughout the day.

“There really is something for everyone — for every age group, all the demographics,” she said. “(There’s) something for someone who wants to come down and buy gifts, have lunch, have cold drinks and listen to music.

“It’s a kid-friendly event, but also a time for parents to meet in the evenings.”

The event has grown each year since its creation.

Wind Down Wednesday runs from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. each day.

Members of local veterans organizations, campaigning politicians, fire departments and other clubs and organizations participate Visit albertleatribune.com for the latest news in a parade in 2014 during Borderfest. COLLEEN HARRISON/ALBERT LEA TRIBUNE

painting, train rides and a bounce house on the north end of the festival.

New this year for the older children and adults at the June festival will be a game called nine square in the air, which is a mix between four-square and volleyball, Karsjens said.

One of the biggest changes of the year will be the addition of themes for each festival and a spotlight on a nonprofit or community group.

In June the theme will be “Dog Days,” with a spotlight on the Humane Society of Freeborn County. People are encouraged to bring their dogs downtown for the event.

Karsjens said there will be things pertaining to dogs and pets throughout the festival, and water bowls will be available outside downtown businesses for the animals.

A portion of the Wind Down Wednesday proceeds will go back to the Humane Society, and The Pet Authority will host a kitty litter drive.

In July, the theme will be farming, and in August it will focus on The Greatest Generation — inviting local retirement

EVENTS ABOUND AT AREA GOLF COURSES

By Tyler Julson

tyler.julson@albertleatribune.com

The area of northern Iowa and southern Minnesota is full of nice public golf courses for those looking to get out and improve their game or just wanting a fun afternoon outside. However, for those golfers who want to bring out their more competitive side, many of the area courses offer various tournaments nearly every weekend throughout the summer.

One of the first major tournaments of the year is the Corey Goodnature Memorial Golf Classic. This tournament is a nine-hole, four-person best shot, but at this outing, the golf comes secondary.

The main goal of this tournament is to celebrate the life of Corey Goodnature, for those who knew him to gather and tell his story and for those who didn’t know him to come and learn his story, all while enjoying a nice day on the golf course.

Goodnature was killed while on duty in Afghanistan when his helicopter was shot down by enemy fire during combat operations. This tournament helps to raise funds for the scholarship fund set up in Goodnature’s name and is awarded to multiple area students every year. It is scheduled to take place June 23 at Green Lea Golf Course in Albert Lea. The next big tournament on the schedule is the 43rd annual Sparky Dan Kruse Memorial Golf Classic. This tournament is an 18-hole four-person scramble and also has a good cause at its core. The Sparky tournament focuses on raising funds to benefit people with developmental disabilities in Freeborn County.

Aside from the golf, this outing features on-course contests, an auction and a hole-in-one contest for a shot at $10,000.

The Sparky tournament is scheduled for July 12 at Wedgewood Golf Course in Albert Lea. The third tournament is possibly the most prestigious tournament in the area, the 91st annual Shortstop Tournament.

This tournament has had the same champion two years running and is sure to draw some of the best golfers from across the area. The Shortstop tournament starts Sept. 1 and runs through Sept. 3 at Green Lea Golf Course.

ArtWorks Festival becoming the place to be in Austin late August

By Deb Nicklay

news@albertleatribune.com

There was a time when the Austin ArtWorks Festival Committee might not have been the first group an artist or musical act might call “for a date,” so to speak.

Boy, has that changed.

Established as an art festival with depth of purpose — a venue that honors visual artists, authors and musicians — the festival is attracting top flight artists on all fronts.

“It feels really good,” said Austin Area Commission for the Arts Executive Director Laura Helle. “It feels like we’ve turned a corner. I think our dedication to having a solid, juried art show” has paid off, and artists are taking the festival seriously.

So it’s no secret that this year’s slogan is “There’s More People Approaching Us.” The Aug. 25-26 event returns to the outdoor green space that stretches from the corner of Second Street Northeast and Fourth Avenue Northeast toward Main Street, and the Paramount to the north, and ArtWorks Center to the south.

Visual artists will once again have booths on the green space, while the featured artist exhibit – mosaic artist

Michael Sweere — will be housed in the Historic Paramount Theatre Annex.

The Owatonna native worked in the advertising world for a time before establishing Michael Sweere Mosaic Company LLC and today lives in Minneapolis.

Sweere’s work incorporates recycled, salvaged and found items, found anywhere from thrift stores to lumber yards, which are then turned into sculptures and mosaic pieces.

Sweere was commissioned to create the 2016 Minnesota State Fair commemorative poster. The poster, titled “Lucky the Llama,” won first place at the International Association of Fairs and Expositions communication contest. His work can be seen in places like the Sioux Falls Regional Airport in South Dakota and Lakeview Hospital in Stillwater.

Also included near the Sweere exhibit will be, for the first time, an exhibit of local student art, from grades 1-12, Helle said “It’s something we’ve wanted to do and are really excited” to have the student work displayed, Helle said the committee has already received over 40 applications from artists — a good place to be in this early in the process, said Helle. That’s another indicator that the festival is gaining more

TRIBUNE FILE PHOTO

all the area’s cancer survivors

By Colleen Harrison

colleen.harrison@albertleatribune.com

The American Cancer Society’s Freeborn County Relay for Life will be Aug. 11 at the Freeborn County Fairgrounds in Albert Lea. According to the event’s website, Relay for Life is the world’s largest fundraising event to end cancer and has the most impact.

The event runs from 3 to 11 p.m., starting with an opening ceremony. The opening ceremony is meant to bring everyone together for a high-energy event kickoff to celebrate the lives of those who have battled cancer, to inspire hope by sharing recent accomplishments and progress, and to remind everyone that fighting cancer is a year-round priority, according to the American Cancer Society.

A survivors and caregivers lap will follow the opening ceremony. During the

survivors lap, upbeat music plays as all cancer survivors at the event take the first lap around the track cheered on by the other participants who line the track, celebrating their victory over cancer.

During the caregivers lap, anyone who ever cared for someone with cancer walks a lap so they can be honored for their support. Caregivers walk the lap with the people they helped if they are also present at the event.

Next is a luminaria ceremony that honors people who currently have cancer, those who have fought it in the past and those who’s lives have been lost because of it.

The closing ceremony will finish off the night. Closing ceremonies at the event are meant to remember the lives of those lost and to celebrate that each of the event’s participants have committed to fight back against the disease over the next year.

Harmony Park Music Garden is located at 79503 298th St. in Clarks Grove.

Rider check-in is between 9 a.m. and 10:45 a.m., with the ride starting shortly after. The first stop along the way will also have a catered lunch provided by Hormel, Mrs. Gerry’s, HyVee, Fastenal and Geneva Bar & Grill.

Shortly after the arrival back at Geneva Bar & Grill, a live auction will be held, followed by a night of fun and live music.

Who Let the Mommas Out will take the stage around 6:30 p.m., and Badd Newz will follow around 8:30 p.m.
