Holler if you heart C.B.The annual feel-good-about-

your-community event with this year’s theme, “Love Where You Live,” will be held Friday through May 18 with many tra-ditional activities, along with a new touch.

It all starts at the River’s Edge Park along the Missouri River.

“It’s the first time we’ve been down there,” said Carol Horner, event president. “It’s a chance to check out the park and a great way to start what will be an incredible month for the riverfront.”

The popular BBQ in the Bluffs will bring its regional competition to the park on opening day, a Friday. Up to 40 teams from around the Midwest will set up shop near the Great Lawn and begin preparing their specialties for the follow-ing day’s official Kansas City-sanctioned judging. At 5 p.m., tickets will be sold to the first 50 participants for the People’s Choice BBQ wings competition.

Following Mayor Tom Hana-fan’s opening proclamation at 6:30 p.m., the popular area band, Taxi Driver, will perform for a public street dance on the concrete area by the park’s amphitheater. Plenty of food will be available, along with a beer and beverage garden sponsored by the Mid-America Center.

The annual Clean Sweep will take part on Tuesday, May 14, beginning at 5:30 p.m. in Bayliss Park. More than 200

volunteers are expected, said Sandy Hull, director of Keep Council Bluffs Beautiful, the event’s sponsor. The volunteers should bring their own gloves and comfortable walking shoes. Hull will supply the trash bags. After the teams finished clean-ing their assigned areas, which is usually by 7 p.m., they are invited back to the park for hot dogs, chips and beverages,

Prior to the event, at 5:15 p.m., Hanafan will turn on the park’s fountain, Horner said.

If rain cancels the event, it will be held the following day.

The Celebrate CB carnival begins May 16 on First Avenue along Bayliss Park with the rides courtesy of Thomas D. Thomas Shows.

Then comes the highlight, the annual parade beginning at 10:30 a.m. on May 18. As in the past, the parade begins at Ninth Avenue and Main Street and goes north on Pearl Street to Broadway and back south on Main Street. About 100 organizations will par-ticipate in the parade, Horner said. The parade’s presenting sponsor is Ameristar Casino. Other sponsors are American National Bank and Mid-Amer-ican Energy. The Grand Mar-shal will be announced in a few days, Horner said.

As always, there will be lots of, make that “tons” of free events in the park afterward, she said. This includes pony rides, face painting, a science show, music and more, “tons” more, Horner said.

First National Bank is the presenting sponsor for the entire event, she said.

‘Love Where You Live’ 2013 Celebrate CB theme

TIM [email protected]

Celebrate CB now includes the Missouri River-front.

For the first time ever, this longtime annual community feel-good event with this year’s theme, “Love Where You Live,” will involve the river as part of its plans.

In fact, the week-long celebration begins there on Friday with music and tantalizing food.

“It’s a chance to start off with what will be an incredible month for the riverfront,” said Carol Horner, event president.

She was referring to the all the activities planned for the River’s Edge Park that will include its own Grand Opening celebration on the Memorial Day weekend with a concert by the Beach Boys.

To kick off the park’s debut, as well as Celebrate CB, the ever-popular BBQ in the Bluffs will bring dozens of the top barbeque cooks in the Midwest for a heated competition that’s always done in good taste.

“There will be 30 to 40 teams in the competi-tion,” Horner said.

This is no casual cookout, but an official Kansas

City-sanctioned competition with the top finishers qualifying for state honors and other competitions later in the year, she said.

“We draw from all over,” she said. “We even have entries coming up from Arkansas.”

The teams will set up shop near the Great Lawn and begin preparing their specialities beginning as early as Friday morning.

At 5 p.m. that day, tickets will be sold to the first 50 participants for the People’s Choice BBQ wings competition. The judging will be held on Saturday afternoon.

Following Mayor Tom Hanafan’s opening procla-mation at 6:30 p.m. Friday, the popular area band, Taxi Driver, will perform for a public street dance on the concrete area by the park’s amphitheater. It’s a band that plays music popular today and back in the 1950s.

Plenty of food will be available from various vendors, along with a beer and beverage garden sponsored by the Mid-America Center, Horner said.

BBQ in the Bluffs is sponsored by Harrah’s and Horseshoe casinos and Doll Distributing. The appearance by Taxi Driver is sponsored by US Bank. First National Bank is the presenting spon-sor for the entire event.

On May 17, Council Bluffs residents in the Bayliss Park area will undoubtedly smell the tantalizing scent of grilled food during the lunch hour.

The Ag Committee will once again host its annual cookout at Bayliss Park in conjunction with Celebrate CB.

The cookout is a fundraiser for the Council Bluffs area Chamber of Commerce Ag Com-mittee’s scholarship program.

All proceeds go toward the com-mittee’s three scholarships for students who are pursuing a career in an agriculture-related fields.

The $500 scholarships are provided through the Southwest Iowa Educational Foundation, said Rick Killion, Ag Committee member and treasurer.

The cookout will include a hamburger meal for $5 or a steak sandwich meal for $7.

Each meal comes with a drink and a bag of chips.

The committee will start serving food at 11:30 a.m. and will serve until 1 p.m.

In the event of rain, Killion said, the committee will set up a tent.

“Rain or shine, we should hopefully be able to have a nice event,” he said.

Wednesday, May 8, 2013 3CThe Daily Nonpareil Celebrate Cb 2013Chipper’s Spring Adventure historic fun for all ages

Mike [email protected]

Spring is taking forever to spring, so hopefully by the time Chip-per’s Spring Adventure rolls around it’ll actually be, you know, spring. The annual event offers free or reduced admission at a number of museums and other locations throughout Council Bluffs on May 11.

“It’s meant to be ‘go on a vacation in your hometown’ and to be affordable,” said Kathy Fiscus, director of Special Projects for the Council Bluffs Convention and Visitors Bureau.

Free or $1 admission will be offered at the Commemorative Air Force Museum, the Historic General Dodge House, Rails-West Railroad Museum, the Union Pacific Museum, the Historic Squirrel Cage Jail, Children’s Square USA, Kanesville Taber-nacle, Narrows River Park and the West-ern Historic Trails Museums, all locations this year for Chipper’s Spring Adventure.

There will also be activities at the Council Bluffs Library, with Chipper, the city mascot, on hand to entertain the masses.

The event is designed for children. Each location has an activity planned

for youngsters, including scavenger hunts and craft activities. They can plant a

flower at Western Historic Trails, while at Narrows archery experts will show

kids how to work a bow and arrow and participate in target practice. The Kanes-ville Tabernacle staff will teach kids how to make a rope, while the Union Pacific Museum will have a number of activities to celebrate 10 years in at the former library.

“Everybody does something that’s con-sistent with their mission,” Fiscus said. “Plant a flower, crafts – that’s a per-fect gift for Mother’s Day. Take mom or grandma and have a good time, maybe make her something.”

Children will receive a flier that’ll have a spot for stamps to note they’ve been at various locations. Youngsters with at least four stamps can stop Bayliss Park at the corner of Willow Avenue and Pearl Streets to get a prize from the Council Bluffs Convention and Visitors Bureau treasure chest.

The event will run from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. on Saturday at different locations.

“It’s an opportunity for people to see the museums on a fun day with activities geared for kids,” Fiscus said. “We look for-ward every year, Chipper looks forward to it. Just a lot of fun.

“It gets the season started. May is Tourism Month in Iowa, there’s a lot of things going on this month and beyond.”

The Clean Sweep, an annual part of the Celebrate CB event, began years ago when volunteers simply cleaned up ahead of the event’s climatic parade.

“It was about cleaning up the parade route, picking up trash for the parade,” said Sandy Hull, director of Keep Council Bluffs Beautiful. “It eventually expanded further around downtown and Bayliss Park beyond the parade route.”

Indeed it has.“We have continued to increase the

range to where we send people to clean 20

designated areas all over town, primarily around the main thoroughfares because they are so visible.”

This year’s Clean Sweep will be held Tuesday beginning at 5:30 p.m. in Bayliss Park. Participants, though, might want to come early to receive the necessary instructions and equipment like garbage bags and gloves for a good head start, Hull said. Besides, the mayor will turn on the park’s fountain at 5:15 p.m.

“We don’t require pre-registration, but it is helpful,” Hull said.

As many as 250 people are expected to participate, Hull said. There is one group bringing as many as 50 people, she added.

“I’m even getting calls from neighbor-hood groups to do their own cleanup,” she said. “We’ll make arrangements to get trash bags to them.”

The cleanup will involve groups of five or six in each group, Hull said. Trash bags and gloves are provided, though the gloves are rather large, she said.

Each group will get instruction sheets and the designated location, and off they go. Anything they see as trash is to be picked up, Hull said. The instructions will also indicate where to leave the trash bags for later collection by recycling center workers.

Everyone is invited back to the park

around 7 p.m. to enjoy hot dogs, cooked by Mayor Tom Hanafan and other city big-wigs. Chips and pop will also be provided.

“Clean Sweep has become a much anticipated and hugely successful annual event,” Hull said. “As part of the Great American Cleanup, we will be providing Keep America Beautiful with information on how much litter and debris is picked up during Clean Sweep.”

On average, 2,500 pounds of trash is collected during this event, she said.

The rain date is the following day at the same time, Hull said.

To pre-register, go online to keepcoun-cilbluffsbeautiful.org.

Clean Sweep has expanded over the years, 250 people expected this year

Public invited to get down at CEF’s Disco PromDust off the bell-bottoms and

polyester, it’s Disco Prom time.The Disco Prom, sponsored

by the Community Education Foundation, is the second prom incarnation held by the organi-zation, preceded by last year’s Nerd Prom.

“It’s a fundraiser,” said Butch Lecuona, executive director with the foundation. “We focus on the fun more than the fund, though.”

Adults of all stripes are encouraged to come out for a night of fun and nostalgia. The event will run from 8 to 11 p.m. on May 18 at the Omni Center pavillion, with the $20 admission fee covering food and drinks – of both the adult and non-adult variety.

“It’s nice for adults, for some parents to get out and enjoy a couple hours. Kids are having

proms now, this is for the par-ents. A parent prom,” Lecuona said, before adding with a laugh:

“And it runs just a few hours, then that’s it. We want to make sure people leave the same way

they got there.”The Community Education

Foundation provides support to individuals and families in a variety of ways to contribute to their ability to learn, according to the organization’s website. The foundation works with Council Bluffs Community Schools and other organizations.

At the prom music will fill the air as attendees are encour-aged to dance rather than stand around in gender-seperated groups.

This year’s prom court includes Melissa Head, Jenny Barnett and J.J. Harvey on the women’s side and Jay Kathol, Dave Strom and Arlo Chris-tensen on the men’s side. The court is based on the number of votes participants get through fundraising, Lecuona said.

Last year’s king and queen, Verne Welch and Gina Primmer, will be on hand to pass on their crowns. The event drew about 80 people last year, though Lecu-ona said he hopes that number reaches 150 this year. The Nerd Prom raised $7,000 for the foun-dation.

The court and other attend-ees often submit prom pictures from their high school days to compare to their current selves. Lecuona said having a theme also helps get everyone into the festivities.

“It’s a walk down memory lane, it really is fun, everyone has a blast,” the executive direc-tor said. “Just a fun night.”

To register call (712) 322-8800. For more information on the event or the foundation go to CommEdFoundation.org.

After the Celebrate CB parade on May 18, families are encouraged to visit Bayliss Park for carnival rides, food and tons of children’s activities at the Children’s Activities Faire under the Tent.

The Children’s Faire, sponsored by First National Bank, will begin after the parade – about noon – until 3 p.m. Some events may have special start or end times, however.

Activities inside the tent include face painting, sponsored by EQ School of Design; art activi-ties sponsored by Bluffs Arts Council, New Hori-zon Church, SAC Federal Credit Union, Family Services, SWIAEYC and Council Bluffs Public Library; bubbles sponsored by FAMILY, Inc.; foot-ball and ring toss games sponsored by CB Tackle Football and CB Foundation-Kids & Co.; and a bouncy inflatable Activity on the south side of Bayliss Park, sponsored by Romano True Value.

“It’s just a lot of little fun things to do,” said Marlys Lien, children’s activities coordinator.

From 12:30 to 3 p.m., First National Bank is sponsoring free pony rides. The ponies are being provided by LaRues’ Little Horse Ranch in Scrib-ner, Neb.

“The pony rides are for little ones, though, so it’s not for all age kids,” Lien said. “They’ll have a size guide on who they will let ride their ponies.”

The Union Pacific Museum will once again bring in their mini trains, which are rides for all ages and sizes.

“Mom, dad, grandma, grandpa and kids can enjoy these rides,” Lien said. “The trains go around the UP Museum.”

The Council Bluffs Police Department will be sponsoring a bicycle rodeo, also.

“Families can bring young kids and bicycles to the rodeo, which includes a safety check of what the bicycle has and if everything is safe on it,” Lien said.

The first 100 kids to participate will receive a free bicycle helmet.

Home Depot is once again returning with its “hammer and nails projects,” Lien said.

“Last year they were busy as beavers with all their little wood projects,” she said. “They were excited with how many kids participated so they’ll be back with more. We really enjoyed that.”

Children who attend the Children’s Faire will receive free goody bags. One bag per child will be given and children must be present to receive one. They will be available while supplies last.

“We’re very thankful to all the sponsors who helped provide these activities,” Lien said. “The whole point of what Celebrate CB wants to offer kids is a bunch of fun for no money. And for that we’re very grateful.”

Rides, games and more at annual carnival

tim [email protected]

With Carnival rides, pony rides, games, music and enter-tainment, Celebrate CB will offer plenty of fun.

This year’s celebration runs from Friday to May 18 at River’s Edge Park and Bayliss Park, said Carol Horner, event presi-dent.

“River’s Edge is this weekend, and Bayliss Park is next week-end,” she said.

Friday – the annual festival’s opening night – will feature a street dance at River’s Edge Park with music by Taxi Driver, a popular local band, Horner said. The band will be sponsored by US Bank.

“They are so much fun,” she said. “They really play to the crowd well.”

The carnival by Thomas D. Thomas Shows will be put in motion Thursday, May 16 and will be open May 16-17 from 5 to 10 p.m. and Saturday, May 18 from noon to 10 p.m., Horner said.

“They do a lot of carnivals in the area,” she said. “They’ve got a really large capacity, and they bring the stuff people want. They bring lots of different games that you win prizes from.”

A children’s fair will be held

Saturday, May 18 following the parade at Bayliss Park in down-town Council Bluffs, Horner said.

“There will be a big tent there full of activities – tons of activi-ties,” she said.

Activities will include pony rides, a mini-train, a Kapow! sci-ence show, face painting and oth-ers, Horner said.

“That’s all fun for the kids,” she said.

Activities offered in the tent will be free, she said.

First National Bank is the presenting sponsor for the entire event.

Parade: Just saying the word brings a smile to your face.

Close your eyes and you can hear the tubas blowing the bass line, hooves on pavement and children giddy with excite-ment.

There’s candy and flags and face paint-ing. Parents, grandparents, even great grandparents, idly standing by, waiting for that first group of participants to come into view.

The annual Celebrate CB parade has provided family moments for three gen-erations and will return as the week’s cul-minating event again this year on May 18.

And the theme, “Love Where You Live,” should illicit a number of interesting entries.

Parade chair Wendy Schultz said the parade will once again be jam-packed with entrants.

“We are approaching another record number with 115 entries,” Schultz said. Organizers usually accept 100 entries, but demand required that number to rise.

“We even had to turn away some entrants after finalizing our numbers.”

As is the tradition, the parade begins at 10:30 a.m. at Ninth Avenue and Main Street and heads north – connecting with Pearl Street – all the way to West Broad-way.

The route then comes back south on Main Street to Story Street, where it hangs a left for one block east to Fourth Street and heads back south to the start-ing point.

Mayor Tom Hanafan will be riding – likely in his last Celebrate CB parade – in a horse-drawn funeral carriage, courtesy of Cutler O’Neill Funeral Home, and fan favorites, like the Shriners, will entertain everyone.

One new participant this year will be a must see for car lovers. Schultz said the Cornhusker Corvette Club will be driving some of their machines in the parade.

As always, there will be plenty of school marching bands, vehicles from police and fire departments and floats from dozens of community organizations.

Having won first prize for the color guard category last year, Crescent Fire Department’s color guard will lead the parade.

Judging for this year’s parade will take place in front of the Pearl Street entrance of City Hall. The parade is expected to conclude around noon.

Schultz said “Love Where You Live” should lend to a lot of display possibilities for participants this year.

“There should be a lot of great floats built around the theme,” she said.
