Filings set lineupsfor city council,school board
The filing period for local of-
fices has closed, setting the line-
ups for the Nov. 4 election.
At the city level, Mayor Lynn
Kissock will be running for re-
election unopposed. She first be-
came mayor in 2013.
Councilwoman Deb Geyen
has also filed for re-election.
Kristy Hennen and Todd Judewill join Geyen on the ballot,
vying for two open council
member seats.
Geyen first began serving on
the council in 2007, when she
replaced former Councilman
Steve Mooney.
Shar Dircks had occupied the
other council seat that is now
open but has not filed for re-
election. She first joined the
council in 1995, replacing Zita
Manuel. She was replaced by
Mike OLoughlin in 1999. In
2002, she regained her council
seat.
Neither Hennen nor Jude has
served on the council in past
years.Three school board positions
are up for election and three in-
dividuals have filed to fill those
seats.
Incumbents Shelly Liljequist
and Rick Thomas will be joined
on the ballot by Joe Maven-
camp.
Both Liljequist and Thomas
are coming off their first terms
on the board.
Mavencamp has not served
on the board.
The third open seat had been
filled by Ed Trager since the be-
ginning of the year when board
chair Brad Neutz stepped down
to accept the d istricts head cus-
todian position.
Prior to his latest stint on the
board, Trager had served one
term, from 2008 to 2012.

For the fourth straight year,
the Maple Lake Lakers have ad-
vanced to the Minnesota State
Class C Tournament and will

Students and teachers have
been out of the classrooms and
hallways of Maple Lake schools
since early June, but that doesnt
mean theyve been empty. Cus-
todians have been working in-tently to clean those spaces
before their usual occupants re-
turn.
One focus has been on the
schools floors.
We attended some training
sessions over spring break, saw
some deficiencies, got them up
to speed and hit the floor run-
ning, head custodian Brad
Neutz told the school board at
their Aug. 11 meeting. There
was some buildup on the floors.
The guys worked on it really
hard and have really taken pride
in their work. Theyre seeing the
results were getting and are re-
ally on board with it.
The hard work has not goneunnoticed, Maple Lake Elemen-
tary Principal Kris Harlan said.
Everybody who has come in
has said something about the
floors, she said.
At that point, Neutz said the
floors werent completely fin-
ished, but the goal is to finish the
remaining hallways before
teacher workshops begin on
Tuesday.
Another cleaning highlight
happened in the locker rooms.
The guys got a look at some
of the new equipment out there
and, by talking to some of the
sales reps, weve been able to
borrow some of that equipment
and try it out, Neutz said. The
locker rooms have never
smelled better.
That equipment is a low-
pressure washer that uses con-
centrated chemicals on every
aspect of the locker rooms, in-
cluding the walls and tops of
lockers. All the lockers, includ-
ing some with clothes from
more than a year ago, were re-
moved and items not picked up
by students were set to be dis-
carded.
In addition to cleaning, cus-
todians have also been working
on other repairs and projects.
By order of the fire marshal,
new fire doors have been in-
stalled near the preschool area.
Though the shatter-resistant,
hurricane-safety glass for the
doors got mixed up at the fac-
tory, Neutz expected to receive
it by Friday.

Saturday was all about gear-
heads, with thousands driving in
to either show off their mechan-
ical machines or view others,
along with those who flew into
the Maple Lake Airport.
For the fourth straight year,
the Gear-Head Get Together
took over downtown Maple
Lake. Planes buzzed overhead as
the 28th annual fly in and pork
chop dinner organized by Ex-
perimental Aircraft Association
Chapter 878 took place simul-
taneously for the first time ever.
Organizers with both events
were pleased with the events,
which were linked together with
a free shuttle throughout the day.
I got so many compliments
it was almost embarrassing,
Get Together Co-Chairman John
Rivers said.
My personal observation
was, this year, given the weather,
we had increased traffic,
whether that was due to the craft
show or the shuttle bus bringing
people out from the Gear-Head
Get Together, EAA Chapter
878 Secretary Wayne Flury said.
Weather was a mixed bag, es-
pecially for aviators, who had to
deal with a low cloud ceiling
much of the day. Spectators,
however, were shielded from di-
rect sunlight thanks to those
clouds.

County sets budget committee scheduleby John Holler
Correspondent
A year ago, the Wright
County Board of Commission-
ers had its first round of budgetcommittee meetings to set the
2014 budget and levy. For four
of them, as well as County Co-
ordinator Lee Kelly, it was their
first experience at overseeing
such a process. A year later,
theyre all preparing to do it
again, but this time around, they
have a lot fewer procedural
questions, but more monetary
questions as they try to keep the
taxpayer contribution as low as
possible.
Theres still a learning curve
for most us, but last year we had
to have a lot of things explained
to us during the process, Com-
missioner Charlie Borrell said.
This year, we wont have
nearly as many of those types of
questions because we now un-
derstand a lot of the line item
type of questions we didnt
know last year. It should besmoother, but I wouldnt say it
will be easier.
At the Aug. 12 meeting of the
county board, the commission-
ers approved the budget com-
mittee schedule, locking in times
in which department heads will
present their budget requests to
the board. The schedule is as fol-
lows:
Aug. 21: Sheriff (9 a.m.),
Road & Bridge (10:30 a.m.);
Aug. 25: Human Services (2:30
p.m.); Sept. 8: Auditor/Treasurer
(9 a.m.), County Board (9:20
a.m.); Building Care and Main-
tenance (9:30 a.m.); Administra-
tion (10:15 a.m.), Budget 100
(10:45 a.m.); Human Services
(2:30 p.m.); Sept. 9: Information
Technology (1:30 p.m.), Parks
(2 p.m.), Court Services (3
p.m.), Attorney (3:30 p.m.);
Sept. 10: Assessor (1 p.m.),Planning & Zoning (1:30 p.m.),
Recorder (2:15 p.m.), Surveyor
(2:30 p.m.), Extension (3 p.m.);
Sept. 15: Human Services (1
p.m.), Road & Bridge (2 p.m.);
Sept. 16: Veterans Services (1
p.m.); Court Administration
(1:30 p.m.); Sept. 23: Final
budget and levy review (10:30
a.m.).
While the schedule is known,
how the county board will ad-
dress some of the pressing needs
facing the county remains un-
clear. There are questions con-
cerning the imposition of a tax to
help with road projects because
of the skyrocketing asphalt costs
that have forced several smaller
projects to get pushed back be-
cause the significant projects are
eating up all of the available
funds. It isnt expected that the
county would impose a whee-lage tax of every vehicle in the
county, but there may be enough
support to impose a local option
sales tax to help bridge the gap
in road funding. The full imple-
mentation of Obamacare is an-
other concern because local
governments have been forced
to run the day-to-day operations
of the program.
The county board is going to
have to balance a lot of different
issues, ranging from department
requests to state and federal
mandates that all require fund-
ing. Tough decisions will have to
be made and, in the end, the
countys pledge to keep the levy
(the portion of the budget paid
through property tax) as close to
zero growth as possible will be
difficult.
I think were going to end
up with a budget and levy in-crease this year unless we reduce
services, Borrell said. Nobody
wants to raise taxes, but we have
growing costs and fewer options
on how to fund those. You dont
want to raise the levy amount,
but you also dont want to cut
back on services to the people
who need them. The key will be
us getting on the same page with
department heads about keeping
budgets as lean as possible.
There are going to be tough de-
cisions that will have to be
made, but thats what we were
elected to do.

Vanna and I were surprised in Ney Park Friday morning when a hen
pheasant flushed out of the grass with her four-bird covey that flew well.
Its getting to be that time of year when pheasants and turkeys will be more
visible as they hunt for food and water.
* * *
Speaking of water, Maple Lake didnt get much rain Sunday afternoon,
but most of the fans at the baseball tournament in Jordan got thoroughly
soaked when the skies opened up in the eighth inning of the Kimball-Plato
game. Daryl Hennen and I were among the soaked fans who included
David Fuller, his son, Todd, and his family from Maple Lake. Former
Laker center-fielder Marcus Zahn and Bill Porter, another former Laker,
were also there as was one of Maple Lake High Schools baseball coaches,
Dale Welter. We shared quarters in Ed Raiches apartment before either of
us were married. Other familiar faces were Art Dingmann and his brother,
Doug, supporting Kimball who won their rain-delayed game 7-6 with
Plato. Neither Hennen nor I thought that game could be continued with
the amount of rain that fell. There was standing water in the outfield grass
and it was still pouring down. Our original plan was to watch Hanska and
Sobieski at Belle Plaine because the winner would be Maple Lakes firstopponent, 7:30 p.m. Friday at Jordan. When the rains came we assumed
that game would be rescheduled, but somehow it was played and Sobieski
won 2-0. Loretto was a 10-inning 1-0 winner over St. Benedict and will
play in the 5 p.m. game against the New Ulm Brewers Friday at Jordan
before the ML game. Where else can you go and get around five hours of
entertainment for $7 bucks! Go Lakers! Its about an hour and a quarter
trip through some pretty countryside. On the way back to Maple Lake we
spotted two turkeys that apparently didnt know enough to get out of the
rain.

I laid off angling for part of last week, mostly because I was busy at the
Messenger print shop. I did take a run over to Twin Lake-Lake Sylvia on
Thursday morning and found out there are a ton of sunfish in those lakes,
but it takes a lot of sorting, much more than I care to do. I didnt know
much about those lakes so I fished wherever I could find some sunfish
weeds, mostly off points in 13-14 feet that had rushes in the shallow water.
I also tried the hump out from the public access which held lots of fish, but
again, it took sorting. I was on kind of a time table Thursday, but I couldhave spent another half-hour fishing had I known the Canadian Pacific had
trains (3), two westbound and one eastbound blocking the tracks on County
Road 2. I wasnt the only frustrated motorist at that crossing. A loaded oil
train was eastbound and a train with mostly loaded vehicles was west-
bound. Both were moving slowly when I pulled up behind a pickup. The
pickup driver said he had been waiting a good 15 minutes. The eastbound
oil train came to a stop and the westbound train started to pick up speed
and soon was out of sight. The eastbound train remained stationary and
soon we could hear a whistle coming from South Haven. It was another
westbound freight pulling empty (we assumed) oil cars. After it passed by
in front of us the eastbound freight finally started to move and shortly there-
after we crossed the tracks and were on our way to ML. I was kind of con-cerned about my sunnies because it was a warm morning. They were still
in the live well which was drained at the access, but they seemed to be just
fine when I filleted them. If there is a next time, Ill have a cooler along!
Lake Sylvias lake association has people at the access inspecting boats
for weeds and zebra mussels before they are launched. It wasnt an incon-
venience and I admire the association for taking a grass roots approach to
the zebra mussel issue. I fished Friday morning with Mike Muller and his
grandson, Harrison, who will be a seventh grader at the Buffalo Middle
School this fall. Harrison may not have had a quality rod and reel, but it
was good enough to catch more sunfish then either Mike or myself. He
also caught a hammer handle northern before the morning trip was over.
Muller was also making a maiden run with a new Hummingbird fish lo-
cator. The unit provided an excellent picture and will be an asset on our
trips to Lake of the Woods next spring. On Friday we had only one keeper
in his live well and I say that means we werent fishing in the right spots!

The fourth annual Gear-Head
Get Together is in the books. An
entire year of planning came to
fruition and was over just like that.
In full disclosure, Im not
much of a gear-head. I know
when I see an awesome-looking
vehicle, and I enjoy looking at
them, but when it comes to know-
ing whats under the hood, Im
usually clueless.
Partly for that reason, I brought
my father-in-law, Mark, with me
this year. Unlike me, he knows a
lot about how those beautiful cre-
ations get up and go.
I already knew the Get To-
gether was a great event that drew
hundreds of vehicles and thou-sands of spectators, but his opin-
ion really drove home how great
it is.
The car shows in Buffalo are
nice, but this is so much bigger
and more unique, he said.
As we walked around looking
for a 55 Chevy like my dads,
which he and Mark recently got
started again, we decided we need
him here next year. It would be
great if he got the ol 55 running
and brought it with him. Even if
he doesnt, though, I really hope
he comes and joins the fun.
I want to show him how a
town this size can put on a show
that size and I know he would ap-
preciate the diversity of the showand the nostalgia of it all.
In addition to all the vehicles,
the show also included great en-
tertainment. The White Sidewalls
were back by popular demand
and, next year, the Squid Wheelies
motorcyle stunt show may also be
back by popular demand.
I feel like I dont need to say
much about the White Sidewalls.
Their talents speak for them-
selves, as do the rave reviews
from people throughout the Mid-
west. The music they play is def-
initely timeless. Though it was
topping the charts long before my
time, there are very few songs
they play that I dont at least rec-
ognize.The Squid Wheelies were new
this year and quite a bit different
from the trials rider of a year ago.
Instead of jumping up on vehicles
and over people, they preferred to
whip their bikes around in a rela-
tively small space, sometimes
with no hands and other times
with no feet. If you missed it, Im
sorry. Pictures wont do it justice,
but Im still excited to show them
off.
In addition to the Get Together
was the fly-in at the airport. Its
usually on Labor Day, but they
decided to mix it up a bit this year
in hopes of building their atten-
dance.The weather did not cooperate
the best for them. While specta-
tors enjoyed the cloud cover, it
kept quite a few planes away.
Nonetheless, they had some great
variety.
They also invited high-quality
arts and crafts vendors. The or-
ganizers, vendors and customers
all seemed to leave happy, which
is impressive for the first year of
an event at the same time as the
Buffalo Arts and Craft Show.
They had plenty of drive-in
traffic for the event and went
through about 500 pork chops,
more than the year before. Pretty
good for being up against many
more food options downtown.
A lot of people came together
to make both events possible.
First, theres the committees of
dedicated volunteers. Theyll
meet soon to debrief the festivities
and start planning next years
events.The Get Together is sponsored
by the Maple Lake Chamber of
Commerce and its 83 members.
Without the support of the Cham-
ber and its members, it wouldnt
be possible. Absolutely every
member business contributed in
some way this year. Many Cham-
ber members also served as vol-
unteers either directly for the Get
Together or with their respective
nonprofit organization.
Beyond the committees and
sponsors are the plethora of vol-
unteers, both for the events and
for the nonprofits who are in-
volved and use the opportunity to
raise funds to put back into the
community. Without these volun-teers, who are obviously not com-
pensated and often overlooked by
the general public, community
events just wouldnt happen.
Other entities are also in-
volved. Without the city staff, for
example, some booths wouldnt
be able to get power, the streets
wouldnt be blocked off, trash and
recycling containers wouldnt be
in place and aerial photos cour-
tesy of the citys boom truck
wouldnt have been taken this
year.
Finally, and just as importantly,
is the community overall. The
vast majority support this event
year in and year out. Many of
them attend the event. Even ifthey dont, they still show their
support in numerous ways. One
way is how well everyone works
to keep the community clean.
After some events in other towns,
theres an unpleasant musk in the
air accompanied by a just as un-
pleasant collection of trash. Its
very refreshing to see that the
community pride here refuses to
let that happen.
So, once again, thank you to
everyone who made this possible,
even if I forgot to mention you by
name. Thanks, also, for everyone
who came out and supported the
event. And, if you missed it, go
ahead and get a 2015 calendar,circle the third Saturday in August
and make sure youre in down-
town Maple Lake that day. Trust
me: you wont regret it if youre
there, but youll definitely regret
it if you miss another Get To-
gether.
Explaining intersection
gridlock
Question: When you're at a
green light (without a green arrow)
and you're making a left turn, what
are the laws about creeping out into
the intersection?
Answer: You can go out into the
intersection on a green light to
make a left turn, even if you have
to wait for the oncoming traffic, be-
cause left turns are exempt from
the intersection gridlock law.
The intersection gridlock law
applies specifically to entering an
intersection (at a traffic control
light) that you cant cross because
traffic is backed up through the in-
tersection due to another red light,
train, etc. Entering the intersection
in this case is against the law. It
happens in many cities and creates
a lot of problems with the flow of
traffic when one direction of traffic
cannot continue on a green light
because vehicles on the cross road
are stopped and blocking the other
lanes of traffic.A portion of state statutes was
used with permission from the Of-
fice of the Revisor of Statutes. If you
have any questions concerning
traffic related laws or issues in
Minnesota, send your questions to
Trp. Jesse Grabow Minnesota
State Patrol at 1000 Highway 10
West, Detroit Lakes, MN 56501-

ter @MSPPIO_NW or reach him

Letters
Thank you to everyone in
Maple Lake for making Gear-Head Get Together so much fun!
My sisters were here from, Spicer,
Glencoe and Crystal and we spentthe day in Maple Lake! We had a
great time! The variety of vehicles
around town was so amazing andthe food was tasty, not to mention
the great entertainment by the
White Sidewalls. We had a won-
derful time and I'm proud to be
from such an amazing commu-
nity!
Oh, thank you also to the per-
son that put my Rubik's Cube in
order! It was on the console of my'69 Cougar. I've had that thing for
years and have never gotten all
sides solved!!

To the Editor:
"Wow," "Amazing," "This is
phenomenal," "I can't believe how
fast this has grown," "Very well or-
ganized," "This is so much fun."
These were just some of the
phrases I heard Saturday at the
Gear-Head Get Together. Hats off
to the committee and everyone else
who had a part in it. It takes each
and everyone of you to pull an
event like this off. It was great to
see so many people fill the streets.
At one point I walked south down
Birch Ave. and it kinda reminded
me of being at the State Fair with
all the people walking the street.
I also think adding the annual
Airport Fly-in pork chop dinner to
this event was a great addition, with
shuttles running to and from the
city. It seemed to be a big hit.
Thank you to everyone in-
volved. Any time you can bring
people to town to have fun and
showcase our city and our busi-
nesses, it's a win-win for everyone.
You all should be very proud of a
job well done. Thanks for all your
hard work.

The Maple Lake Lions hosted 15 seniors during Take a Sen-
ior Fishing on Aug. 2 and fed about 40 during a fish fry that
night. (Photos submitted)
Maple Lake Lions Bruce Klein, Ed Trager, John Becker and
Steve Mooney built a handicap-accessible ramp for Reggie
Walton on July 30 and 31.
Aug. 18 Wright County
Attorneys report
In other business, the board:
Approved a contract between
the sheriffs department and PSC
Alliance for the next phase of the
sheriff departments computer-
aided dispatch program. Commis-
sioner Mark Daleiden complained
that the board didnt have a chance
to see the documents before the
item was added to the agenda at
the beginning the meeting, telling
Captain Todd Hoffman that he
may not vote for approval of such
documents in the future if the same
procedure is used.
Announced that Wright
County has reached a settlement
agreement regarding a lawsuit that
has been filed against multiple
counties for alleged violations of
the Drivers Privacy Protection
Act. Several counties and cities
were cited for looking up drivers
license information of unknowingcitizens. Assistant County Attor-
ney Brian Asleson said he couldnt
get into too many specifics be-
cause the case is still going for-
ward against other counties and
that Wright County had just one
reported incident of drivers li-
cense information being looked
up. The settlement calls for the
county to pay $18,500 to settle the
case and have Wright County re-
moved from the list of defendants
in the case.
Appointed Michael Young as
the countys ditch inspector and
approved a contract that will run
through the end of the year. Ditch
inspector contracts are typically
done on an annual basis, but be-
cause Young was appointed during
the year, the contract is for three-
and-a-half months.
Authorized signatures on a
grant contract with the MinnesotaDepartment of Public Safety for a
hazard mitigation grant. The grant
will provide the county with
$21,180 in funding to update its
hazard mitigation plan.
Re-designated Wright County
Road 136 in County State Aid
Highway 3. After the re-designa-
tion is approved by the Minnesota
Department of Transportation, the
road will be eligible for state funds
for improvement. In a related
move, the county revoked the des-
ignation of CSAH 38 in the City
of Annandale and re-designated it
Co. Rd. 183.
On Aug. 11, Justin Wayne
Peterson, 33, of St. Michael,
was arrested in St. Michael on
a Wright County felon in pos-
session of a firearm warrant.
On Aug. 12, Benjamin Fran-
cis Everett, 22, of Delano, wasarrested in Delano on a Wright
County third-degree criminal
damage to property warrant.
On Aug. 13, Jennifer Kim
Bruska, 32, of Buffalo, was ar-
rested in Buffalo on probable
cause fifth-degree drug posses-
sion.
On Aug. 14, Travis Lee

A 21-year-old Willmar man
is dead and a 17-year-old fe-
male may be facing charges
following a crash involving a
motorcyle and a car at 9:43
a.m. Thursday at the intersec-
tion of Minnesota Highway 12
and Zephyr Avenue in Mon-trose.
According to a Minnesota
State Patrol release, the uniden-
tified teen female was driving a
2001 Chevrolet Impala east-
bound on the stretch of road
when she crossed the center
line and struck a 2003 Suzuki
Roadster.
The driver of that vehicle,
Robert Brau, was pronounced
dead at the scene.
The driver of the Impala wasnot injured. Her name will not
be released until the investiga-
tion is complete and a decision
is made regarding any possible
criminal charges.
Motorists will encounter
overnight delays on Minnesota
Highway 55 between Rockford
and Buffalo as lanes close and
flaggers hold traffic for up to 20
minutes at a time beginning at 7
p.m., Sunday through Thursday,
Aug. 29.
All lanes of Highway 55 will
re-open by 5 a.m. each day.
The closures are needed as
crews resurface Highway 55.
Flaggers and a pilot car will
allow one-way, alternating traffic
through each nights work zone.
Motorists must obey the flagger
and follow the pilot car through the
work zone.
Also, drivers entering a work
zone from roads or driveways that
intersect Highway 55 must wait
for the pilot car to pass, then follow
it through the work zone.
Motorists should seek alternate
routes and plan additional time for
travel.
The schedule is weather de-
pendent. When complete, the proj-
ect will provide a smoother ride
and extend the life of the roadway
on eight miles of the busy two-lane
highway that serves more than
15,000 vehicles per day.

Heres How It Works:
Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into
nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must
fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once
in each row, column, and box. You can figure out the order in
which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already
provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier
it gets to solve the puzzle! Answers on Page 12

Q: What are the characteris-
tics of old-growth forests, and
where in Minnesota can you
find them?
A: While the characteristics
can vary depending on the type
of forest, old-growth forests are
generally at least 120 years old,
having never been significantly
disturbed by logging, fire or
storms during that time. These
forests have a mix of young, old
and middle-aged trees, and
many include very large trees
that can measure 2 to 3 feet
across. Old-growth forests typ-
ically contain large dead stand-
ing trees, small gaps in the
overhead canopy and lots of
woody debris on the forest
floor.
Today, less than 4 percent of
Minnesotas old-growth forests
remain, but there are some great
examples protected in state
parks and scientific and natural
areas (SNAs). For example,
Spring Beauty Northern Hard-
woods SNA, Tettegouche State
Park and Itasca State Park all
contain stands of old-growth
forest. More information and
places to visit are available on
DNR website at
www.mndnr.gov/forests_types/
oldgrowth.

Get Togethercontinued from page 1
Those spectators had plenty
to take in at both events.
An estimated 600 vehicles,
including about 75 bikes, were
displayed at the Get Together,
plus 90 to 100 swappers.We had more wacky stuff
than ever, Get Together Co-
Chairman Scott Chantland said.
I like it that its setting in with
people that they can create
weird things and bring them.
Some people had also spent
years creating aircraft that was
displayed amongst a diverse as-
sortment. Mike Reid, of Maple
Lake, and Bruce Topp, of
Maple Grove, spent about
seven years building their ex-
perimental aircraft, both of
which won awards at the EAA
AirVenture Oshkosh event.
We had two WWII primary
trainer aircraft from the Golden
Wings Air Museum in Anoka,Flury said. There were a cou-
ple powered parachutes. They
have an engine in front and,
when they taxi out and exceler-
ate, the parachute behind them
fills with air. There were some
classic airplanes and a num-
ber of commercial aircraft.
Though the number of air-
craft was down, the overall traf-
fic was up from last year, with
about 500 pork chops sold, de-
spite a plethora of food options
downtown.
I cant speak for all the food
vendors, but I think they were
happy, Chantland said of those
who provided food for Get To-gether patrons, noting that the
Maple Lake Lions sold out of
hamburgers twice. One vendor
asked for the same spot next
year.
Entertainment varied from a
repeat performance from the
White Sidewalls to shows by
the Squid Wheelies motorcycle
stunt show.
People really enjoyed the
Squid Wheelies, Rivers said.
Especially the kids, Chant-
land added. They really con-
nected with the kids, giving
high-fives and autographs. I re-
ally appreciated that.
At the fly-in, the Maple Lake
Clown Arounds made balloonanimals for the kids and 36 ven-
dors brought items they had
created for adults to enjoy and
purchase.
We had very high-quality
vendors with very good dis-
plays, said Kent Peterson, who
organized the event with his
wife, Connie. Vendors said
they were happy with the
turnout and sales. They said if
we keep having the show the
way we did this year, it will
grow. The customers who came
down were very surprised with
the quality we had to offer and
the unusual nature of the
items.Committees for both events
will be meeting soon to debrief,
decide if both events will share
the same date again and start
planning for next year. Chant-
land already has some items on
his wish list.
We want to get entertain-
ment dialed down right away,
he said. We want to manage
our space better and have a
shuttle going (from the high
school to the event).Overall, they were pleased
with the outcome and thankful
to everyone who made it possi-
ble.
Were really grateful to the
sponsors for what they did,
Rivers said.
They also thanked the Fire
Department, who allowed the
Squid Wheelies to perform in
front of their building; the
Maple Lake Chamber of Com-
merce which sponsors theevent, with special appreciation
for treasurer Kathy Hennen;
Maple Lake Messenger Projects
Manager Kayla Erickson, who
designed and printed promo-
tional items for the event; the
volunteers; the organizations
that provided food; and the
community at large.
Its just fun to have the
town alive, Chantland said.
He is also happy to see the
positive nature of the event con-tinue.
Other than the rubber on
the road in front of the Fire De-
partment, you wouldnt know
anything happened, he said. I
love the fact that its a daytime,
family event.
Cheryl Pullins is one of the volunteers who made the Gear-
Head Get Together possible. More volunteers will likely be
needed for the fifth installment of the event next year.
One of the vendors shows off his wares at the inaugural ju-
ried craft show that was part of the EAA Chapter 878 Fly-in
at the Maple Lake Municipal Airport.
