More scenes from the flash mob on Wednesday...
"Audience needed in the Produce Aisle..."
The cast of Spencer High School's "Catch Me If You Can" treated midday shoppers in Spencer's Hy-Vee to a flash mob performance of the musical's opening number, "Live in Living Color" on Wednesday afternoon.
The show takes to the stage on Friday night at the high school.
Last minute IA/IA ST. tailgating buys @ Fareway
As Iowans, we understand the sanctity of Iowa/Iowa State Saturday and how no red-blooded, football-crazed Iowan would - or should - pass up a chance at the game. As such, we'll skip this week's regularly scheduled Tiger Captain Q&A because the SDR Triple Option Podcast is taking the day off.
Eat your heart out, Ferris Beuhler.
Fareway's 78 Cent Saturday soldiers on, however. Stop by to check out the two "jumbo" deals: one for the finnicky eaters at your tailgate who don't like awesome things such as brats, brat patties, fresh cut fruit, and Fareway's famous potato salad, and a little sweetness to pair with tomorrow's hair of the dog.
We see you, Spencer. We see you.
The Tiger Captain Q&A will return.
Christmas Eve with Bob Rose
HERE IT IS: After spending hours piecing together "Christmas Eve with Bob Rose," the file (and its backups) corrupted in export and left us feeling like we got coal for Christmas. However, as your source of community journalism, you know that "giving up" isn't part of our vocabulary. We made it a second time over, so all can enjoy the presence of Mr. Spencer on Christmas Eve. Enjoy!
You can't eat the moon
All this talk of celestial bodies, but only one can be counted in the phrase "lunar chocolate chip delight." Check out our photos of the Spencer Christmas Cookie Caper on page 3B.
Band Buddies at Longhouse-Northshire
We've seen plenty of parades at our long term care facilities this year, but something's been missing...the band! A band comprised of some of our most talented musicians battled the cold to bring some beautiful tunes to Longhouse-Northshire residents this weekend. Check it out, and you'll find photos in today's edition.
Recipes? Photgraphs? In a newspaper? Wut?
Good morning, Spencer!
As part of The Great Spencer Christmas Cookie Caper, we're going to fire up the ol' press and publish your submissions! Here is Publisher Paula Buenger with the details on how you can participate and have something for the fridge.
Our spidey sense tells us some of you will be baking on this glorious December Saturday. What better time to snap a photo or two?
And don't forget to sign up for The Great Spencer Christmas Cookie Caper!
P.S. Please forgive the shoddy camera work (YES, that's a mic stand in the shot). It's pretty clear someone needs to spend time with crack SDR Staff Writer Joe Hopper who is, as we all know, a Jedi Master behind a camera. Our kid has mad skills.
They're talking cookies and The Great Spencer Chirstmas Cookie Caper
No, Ralphie, it isn't a crummy commercial. It's "Stump the Publisher," and it's a major award!
SDR Publisher Paula Buenger and Hy-Vee Store Director Scott Threlkeld got together to quiz Paula on her knowledge of baking ingredients. Will Paula have the right answers?
Watch and see!
And sign up for The Great Spencer Christmas Cookie Caper. It'll be fun addition to a socially distanced and interrupted holiday season.
