JULY 2016 | FELIX GRUNDY FESTIVAL | 11
Kricket Alley highlights 2016 Felix Grundy entertainment
By Rob Maharry
The Grundy Register
GRUNDY CENTER- There’s
plenty of entertainment on the
docket for this year’s installment
of Felix Grundy Days in Grundy
Center, with a mix of both local and regional artists taking the
stage to play songs for festival goers on Friday and Saturday.
The fun kicks off on Friday at
5:00 p.m. with the Johnson Family Strings, based out of New Hartford, who play old-time religious
string music. Patrons are in for
a treat from 7:00 to 8:00 on the
gazebo as the Brazilian 2wins,
who originally hail from Rio de
Janeiro but now play around the
Midwestern U.S., put their unique
spin on pop, jazz and reggae hits.
Walter (electric violin, vocals)
and Wagner (ukulele, keyboards)
are the twins for which the band
is named, and they are joined by
Riley on bass, Evan on lead guitar
and Raqwon on drums.
Wrapping up the schedule on Friday night is Ultimate Entertainment
karaoke from 7:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m.
Saturday kicks off with the New
Horizons Band playing in the high
school auditorium from 10:00 to
11:00 a.m., and the Grundy Center
Sports Hall of Fame, Magic Mike,
junior girls dance, movement dance
and Allie Bagenstos will all be on
the gazebo throughout the afternoon beginning at noon.
Saturday evening’s entertainment starts at five with a performance from the high school drill
team, followed by the Philbo Baggins Band from 5:30 to 6:00. Local singers Treye Schupbach and
Hailey Junker, who are alums of
Grundy Center and Dike-New
Hartford high schools, respectively, will play from 6:00 to 7:00
and 7:00 to 8:00 before the main
show from 9:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m.
featuring Kricket Alley, a country
and rock variety cover band based
in Waynesville, Missouri. This
will be the first time the band has
played in Iowa, but judging from
their experiences across small
town Kansas and Missouri, lead
singer Christina “Kricket” Webster believes they will fit right in at
Felix Grundy Days.
“I love small town festivals; I
am from a small town myself. We
enjoy playing them, and I think

The Grundy Register
GRUNDY CENTER – This year’s Felix
Grundy Festival promises to offer all the
tried-and-true festival favorites, as well as
several fun, new additions.
The most notable addition to this year’s
festival is the carnival rides being offered by
entertainment company Amusement Associates.
On both Friday, July 8 and Saturday, July
9, there will be rides set up in the festival
area. There will be around 10 to 12 rides,
which will be suitable for kids all ages. The
rides will range from thrill rides to a mechanical bull to jousting and more.
In order to fund the rides, the Felix
Grundy Festival committee will be offering
pre-sale wristbands and tickets up until the
start of the festival. There are two different
wristbands for sale: one for Friday and one
for Saturday. The wristbands will allow the
rider to go on almost every ride, with the
exception of the mechanical bull, for the
day that the wristband is valid for. On Fri-
day, the rides will run from noon to 9 p.m.,
and on Saturday they will run from 11 a.m.
to 9 p.m.
Another new event at this year’s festival
is an outdoor movie showing at the courthouse yard, sponsored by Engelkes Abels
Funeral Home. The movie being shown is
“Nanny McPhee,” the 2005 Fantasy/Comedy about a man who hires a nanny to care
for his seven rambunctious children, who
have chased away all previous nannies.
This nanny, Nanny McPhee, uses mystical
powers to instill discipline to the children.
When the children’s great-aunt threatens to
separate the kids, the family pulls together
under the guidance of Nanny McPhee.
The movie will be showing at 8:30 p.m.,
and has a run time of 1 hour and 39 minutes. Popcorn will be sponsored by the
Center Theatre.
Among other events new to this year’s festival are several new Gazebo Entertainment
acts, including: the Johnson Family Strings,
Brazilian Twins, Magic Mike and much
more.
Two offices to better serve you!

2016 Felix Grundy Festival hosts
Mindy Greany - Festival Chair
This is my 8th year on the festival. I enjoy being on the festival as it is a way for me
to give back to the community. I love to be
able to provide many children and adults
with a weekend full of great activities,food
and music!!! We look for new and different
activities each year with this year bringing
back the carnival rides, and many new acts
performing on the gazebo!!
Carrie Theesfeld
This is my 7th year on the festival. I enjoy
being involved in the community of Grundy
Center, even though we don’t live here, my
husband and I both work here so we enjoy
being part of the festival.
Shannon Simms
This is my 3rd year on the festival. The part
I love most about the Felix Grundy Festival
is all of the fun things for our kids to do;
the parade, rides and games. I’m on the
committee because I want to be able to give
back to the community. When I first joined
my goal was to get our rides back and I am
elated that we have finally reached that goal
this year.

This is my 3rd year on the festival. What I
love most about the festival is: all the activities that are provided for people of all ages.
I’m on the committee because growing up
I lived across from the courthouse square
where we were always in the heart of all the
activities happening around the festival, it
was something I looked forward to every
year and have a lot of memories enjoying
the rides and activities. I joined the committee to make sure the memories I have as
a child from the festival are passed on to my
children and others in the community.
Jenn Boege
This is my 1st year on the festival. I love
the family atmosphere. I chose to be on the
committee to help bring more family activities to Felix.
Whitnee Beenken
This is my 1st year on the festival. I chose
to be on the committee so that I could hopefully add a fresh perspective and new ideas.
My favorite thing about the festival is all the
people it brings to town. I love seeing old
classmates, people from neighboring towns
and people from out of state. It is a great
seeing all those people out and about.
A message from the committee: We would
like to thank all the sponsors for supporting
Felix 2016. We are always looking for volunteers to be on the committee, setting up and
tearing down, or helping with the weekend
activities. If interested, you can contact us
on the website at www.felixgrundyfestival.

If anyone has any questions during the festival, the committee members will be wearing pink tank tops, so just look for the gals
in the pink Felix tanks!
Have fun at the Felix Grundy Festival!

Felix Grundy Festival 2016
to feature carnival rides
By Michaela Kendall
The Grundy Register
GRUNDY CENTER - This year, the Felix
Grundy Festival will have something extra
special to offer festival-goers: carnival rides.
On both Friday, July 8 and Saturday, July
9, there will be rides set up in the festival
area. There will be around 10 to 12 rides,
which will be suitable for kids all ages. The
rides will range from thrill rides to a mechanical bull to jousting and more.
Mindy Greany, Felix Grundy Festival
committee chair, said that the committee
has been trying to get rides lined up for a
while, but it hadn’t worked out until this
year.
“The number one request that we’ve gotten from people is that we need rides,” Greany said, adding that they had rides lined up
for last year, but it fell through.
In order to fund the rides, the committee will be offering pre-sale wristbands and
tickets up until the start of the festival.
Greany said that there will be two different wristbands, one for Friday and one for
Saturday. The wristbands will allow the rider to go on almost every ride, with the exception of the mechanical bull, for the day
that the wristband is valid for. On Friday,
the rides will run from noon to 9 p.m., and

Student-designed police car to
lead Felix Grundy Grand Parade
By Michaela Kendall
The Grundy Register
GRUNDY CENTER – One lucky student,
sophomore Josey Davis, will have a special
spot in this year’s Felix Grundy Festival
Grand Parade.
Earlier this year, Davis won a design contest that was held within the Grundy Center
art department.
The contest was a joint effort between the
Grundy Center Police Department and the
school art department to come up with a
fun, unique squad car design that could be
printed onto the outside of the police department’s brand new squad car.
After countless designs were submitted to
the police department, Davis’ design was
chosen as the winner.
The prize for her winning design was 100
Chamber Bucks and, of course, her design
printed on the squad car. Another part of
the prize is that Davis will have the chance to
