Dakota City will be having a holiday lighting contest afterall. The decision was made at the regular monthly meeting of the Dakota City Council. The meeting was held Thursday, Nov. 12, one day later than normal because of the Veteran’s Day holiday. There was some discussion about the holiday lighting contest. Councilman Billy Fort said not as many citizens put up outdoor lights as used to be the case. City Clerk Angelique Berry reported the expense to the city is purchasing Chamber bucks from the Humboldt/Dakota City Chamber of Commerce. After some discussion, the Council voted 3-2 in favor of having the contest with Council members Jim Van Horn, Barb Nelson and Tim Myers voting in favor and Council members Fort and Justin Kirchhoff voting against. The contest is open to all Dakota City residents with Merlin Fort’s Hillside Spectacular excluded.

Humboldt has five selected for All-State music

Submitted by admin on Fri, 11/13/2015 - 3:41pm

On Saturday, Oct. 24, 13 band students and four choir students auditioned for the Iowa High School Music Association Iowa All State Band, Orchestra and Chorus. The band students prepared all 12 major scales, along with two very difficult musical selections and a solo, and the choir students prepared nine difficult songs for their auditions. The students who auditioned for band and orchestra were Kylie Burmeister, Sophia Luu, Breanna Bruening, Samantha Cordero, Michael Miller, Dillon Kirchhoff, Madeline Morey, Anna Lenz, Madison Smith, Jared Knapp, Carter Holm, Nathan Wright and Makayla McMannus. The students who auditioned for choir were Taylor McKimmey, Marcus Kocher, Keagan Burmeister and Sam George. All Humboldt students had outstanding auditions and worked very hard to prepare for this prestigious event. Only one percent of all Iowa high school musicians are accepted into All-State. Humboldt was fortunate enough to have four students and an alternate accepted.
