Every year as the Water Carnival comes to a close, the current Jaycees president selects admirals for the following year’s event. Kate Spaeth and Dustin Hildenbrand were chosen as 2017 admirals after last year’s Water Carnival, a duty that Spaeth is no stranger to. “My dad was a past admiral,” she said. “We’re the first father and daughter to have been admirals, so that was a fun moment for me and a proud moment for him. I think it’s a great honor because somebody thought I was worthy of the role.” Hildenbrand, who grew up attending the Water Carnival, also said that he was proud to have been chosen as an admiral. “It’s an honor to be able to be on the other side and put it all together,” he said. “It’s a lot of work, but it’s always worth it in the end.” Having the workload split between two people is, of course, extremely helpful, but the best part about having a co-admiral is that they complement each other’s strengths, Spaeth explained. “Between me and Dusty, we match each other pretty well,” she said. “What I lack, he picks up on. I’m really into details and overwhelmingly organized, but he’s really an outspoken go-getter.” Despite the excitement the admirals feel over the upcoming event, Spaeth admitted that it’s

The admirals have been hard at work on the Water Carnival since last year’s event ended. been a year full of hard work. “It’s been a long year and a lot of work and coordination,” she said, “but I’m feeling good about it.”

What they do

As admirals, Spaeth explained, she and Hildenbrand pretty much do a little bit of everything. “We coordinate licenses, plan events, make sure we have chairs for every event,” she said, “assign roles and work with vendors.” Hildenbrand agreed, adding that they also work to get everyone on the same page throughout the planning and implementation of events. “We try to get everything heading in the right direction,” he said. “We started planning the Thursday after last year’s Water Carnival, so it’s been about a year-long process of doing things here and

there and keeping on top of stuff.” He said that, while it’s timeconsuming, he and Spaeth aren’t in it alone. “We have a lot of good Jaycees helping us out,” he said. Each event has its own chairperson or set of chairpeople, Hildenbrand explained. Members of the Jaycees are appointed chairpeople of various events, while the admirals also serve as chairpeople for the larger events, such as the Bash on the Beach. Spaeth and Hildenbrand are also in charge of overseeing planning and offering support—in addition to assisting with booking vendors, locations, entertainment and more. “A lot of stuff goes on behind the scenes,” Hildenbrand said, ADMIRALS to page 10 

er workshop session, before arriving at the Sonic Ranch, locked and loaded. “I spur myself sometimes, like getting a metal cleat kicked into your ass so you can go harder. I do that to myself,” says Ballard of the grueling road trip to El Paso. “It’s as far away as you can get. I was trying to get my blood moving.” The change of scenery worked. Ballard has created an urgent, thriving record, a project that showcases Frankie the artist. It’s the type of album his heroes like Bob Seger and the Rolling Stones made, a collection of 11 songs with a sonic through-line, driven along by swagger but also respect for the music. First single “It All Started With a Beer” is buoyed by equal parts nostalgia and hope.

Selling a Variety of Prepackaged Taste

“On the surface, it’s a love story about two folks meeting in a bar and having a beer. From there, the relationship blossomed into something long lasting and now they’re looking back, going, ‘Man, look at this great relationship we got, and it started so simply, with just a beer.’ So many people can relate to the idea,” Ballard says. “But also, one of the deeper meanings of that song is sometimes the biggest shit that happens to you in life doesn’t start in a big way. That makes me hopeful for the future.” The hard-charging “Cigarette,” meanwhile, is unapologetically carnal. With a dirty guitar riff and winking lyrics to match, it’s an explosive bit of country-rock, and the first song Ballard worked up at Muscle Shoals. “It’s about lust,” says Ballard matter-of-factly. “It’s not really about cigarettes. She could have had a toothpick in her mouth. It’s just sexy, and it pops. It’s a head-snapper.” The crunching “El Camino,” however, sets the tone for the entire album. With its escapist message of hitting the road, it mirrors Ballard’s own exodus from Nashville. “So get me a dog and an El Camino/ roll a couple dice at the Indian casino/ take this heartache somewhere you’ve never been before,” he sings in the chorus. “It is a really definitive song for me, and illustrates the sonic space that I’m trying to establish with this album,” he says. “If somebody asked, ‘Hey, what is this new Frankie Ballard sound?’ ‘El Camino’ would be the song I played them.” “Sweet Time,” one of two songs Ballard wrote for the project, celebrates the joys of taking it slow, in both life and romance, while “Wasting Time,”

although similar in title, is its antithesis: a straight-up rocker. “It is a ripping take,” raves Ballard, pointing out the galloping drums that showcase a band in the pocket. Ballard also emphasizes the rock on a choice cover: his balls-out version of Seger’s “You’ll Accomp’ny Me.” Recorded at one additional session in Los Angeles, where Ballard, ever the perfectionist, revamped two songs he says “betrayed” him in El Paso, the cover song connects the dots of Ballard’s career—Seger once hand-picked him to open his tour. If Ballard has an endgame, it’s the longevity of someone like Seger, a career that continues well into the future and transcends any genre. And returns actual, honest playing to the fore. “I miss musicianship on the radio. Everyone is doing this digital thing and they’re putting all these pop sounds into country music, and I love it. I dance to it at the club. But I don’t do that personally. I don’t even have a computer,” says Ballard, going on to lay out his plan for country music dominance. “There is something you have to fundamentally understand about me: my dream goes the whole way. It goes all the way. So I want more people hearing my music,” he says. “So what are you going to do, Frankie? Well, I guess I’m going to try to make some better music. And if it’s not better than what I did before, there’s no reason for it to come out. I don’t want to maintain altitude—I want to fly, man.” The Bash on the Beach will feature Troubador opening at 7 p.m. with Frankie Ballard to follow on July 15 on the beach in front of the Pavillion.

Frankie Ballard will play at the Detroit Lakes city beach on July 15 as part of the 2017 Water Carnival. When Frankie Ballard was growing up in Battle Creek, Michigan, his father played him one classic album over and over again: Marty Robbins’ Gunfighter Ballads and Trail Songs, featuring Robbins’ signature hit “El Paso.” Now Ballard, a quick-draw guitarist and roughhewn singer, has cut his own metaphorical gunfighter album, decamping from Nashville to a gritty El Paso studio to record the follow-up to his 2014 breakout Sunshine & Whiskey. For Ballard, who scored three consecutive Number One singles off Sunshine & Whiskey—”Helluva Life,” the title track and “Young & Crazy”—it was imperative that he leave behind the safety of Nashville for the wilds of the Mexico border. Setting up shop at the famed Sonic Ranch, just south of El Paso in Tornillo, Texas, Ballard, producer Marshall Altman (Sunshine & Whiskey) and his band threw themselves headlong into the music, eating and sleeping at the studio. Their goal: make a bona fide album. “I grew up listening to albums and I loved them as bodies of work,” says Ballard. “But today, everyone cuts singles. Even Sunshine & Whiskey was recorded in chunks. We’d go into one studio, cut four, then go into another studio and cut another four. It’s groovus interruptus, man.” To keep that groove steady, Ballard went on the lam, leaving Nashville for a few days of bare-bones rehearsals at ground zero for rock & roll and soul, Muscle Shoals Sound Studio in Alabama. From there, he continued on to the Granada Theater in Dallas for anoth-

Water Carnival’s Family Day is jam-packed with events for all ages

Celebrating 82 years of Water Carnival Fun!

BY VICKI GERDES

vgerdes@dlnewspapers.com While every day of the 82nd annual Northwest Water Carnival will have family-friendly events, there is one day designated specifically as Family Day, which year is set for Sunday, July 9. “I’m not exactly sure what year it officially became Family Day, but I think it was roughly 15 years ago, when Tom Winters originally came up with the idea,” said Dustin Hildenbrand, a 2017 Water Carnival co-admiral. “We always have a big turnout for Family Day. As it is a button event, all your family needs are some $2 buttons and they can enjoy everything we have to offer.” Which is quite a lot, he noted, explaining that there will be roughly 13 different events going on between 11:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., all in and around the DL Pavilion, City Park and

adjacent public beach. “There’s always something for everyone to enjoy,” Hildenbrand said. The jam-packed schedule includes a

What you can expect

Many events that have been fanfavorites in past years are returning again this year, including the Water Carnival Kickoff Party—which started just last year—Kegs & Eggs, Maniacs in the Sand, Beast on the Beach, Family Day and more. “I don’t think there’s an event I haven’t liked,” Spaeth said. “Although I’ve always really liked water fights and the Bash on the Beach, of course.” This year, the bash features country music singer Frankie Ballard and takes place on July 15—the day before the carnival comes to a close—while the water fights will take place a little earlier in the week, on July 12. Although there aren’t any truly new events, Hildenbrand said, they did make adjustments to existing events. “For Family Day, we’re adding a magician and a ventriloquist, who will do two shows in the pavilion throughout the day,” he said. “And, although we usually do night golf on the first Friday at the golf course, we’re doing a night of frisbee golf in the park instead, where you’ll get a light-up frisbee.” Another radio personality will also join the cast of characters at this year’s Water Carnival. In addition to Kegs & Eggs with the Power Trip Morning Show, “An Afternoon with the Common Man Dan Cole” has been added to the event schedule, Hildenbrand said. Kegs & Eggs will take place from 5 a.m. to 9 a.m. at the pavilion on July 7—where

82nd NORTHWEST WATER CARNIVAL

the Power Trip Morning Show will broadcast live—and KFAN’s Common Man Dan Cole will broadcast his Friday show live from 12 p.m. to 3 p.m. at the Detroit Country Club that afternoon. As every year, Hildenbrand explained, the proceeds for the annual Bed Race event—set for July 14 this year—will go to a local organization. This year, that organization is the Brady Oberg Legacy Foundation. “We want to keep the funds local to Detroit Lakes and the surrounding areas,” he said, “and the Brady Oberg Legacy Foundation is a local foundation that does a lot with PTSD (PostTraumatic Stress Disorder) and veterans or soldiers returning from overseas.” Brady Duane Oberg, who the foundation is named for, was a Combat Veteran of Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan. According to the foundation’s webpage, Oberg struggled to adjust “back into the civilian world after returning home” and took his life in 2015. His wife, Hildenbrand explained, is a current member of the Jaycees. In addition to proceeds from the Bed Race, Hildenbrand reminded residents that the event as a whole goes toward benefiting the community. “Everything we bring in with the Water Carnival and all the proceeds go to local charities and foundations,” Hildenbrand said. “Everything stays local and helps out the community all year.” All in all, after a long year of planning, the 2017 Water Carnival admirals are confident that the event will send waves of fun through the town. “I’m excited that it’s getting closer,” Spaeth said.
