HERE AT HARVEST

"WE'VE GOT THESE

WE FILL WITH A 
BLEACH-WATER

THEN WE CAN JUST 
WALK AROUND THE

JUST BACK 
EVERYTHING." 
THE PUMPKIN

BUSINESS FOR 14

UNLIKE ANY OTHER

"THINGS ARE 
DIFFERENT WE HAD 
TO PUT UP PLEXIE 
GLASS SCREENS IN 
THE KITCHEN AND 
WE RECONFIGURED 
THE KITCHEN TO 
MAKE IT SAFER FOR 
OUR STAFF SO THAT 
THEY DON'T HAVE 
TO CROSS PATHS 
VERY OFTEN. 
WALLERSTEDT HAS 
66 PEOPLE ON 
STAFF FOR THE 
FALL SEASON.. 
EACH OF THEM WILL 
BE REQUIRED TO 
WEAR A MASK BUT 
THE PUBLIC WILL 
HAVE THE OPTION. 
TERRY 
WALLERSTEDT 
HARVEST MOON 
"THERE ARE 
PEOPLE THAT HAVE 
MESSAGED US THAT 
HAVE SAID THE 
MASK IS AN ISSUE 
FOR THEIR ASTHMA 
AND STUFF IT HARD 
AND WE'VE HAD 
SOME KIDS WITH 
SENSORY ISSUES 
THAT CANT WEAR 
THE MASKS SO 
WERE LEAVING IT 
UP TO THE FAMILIES 
TO DO WHAT IS 
RIGHT." 
MARINA BACH 
"HARVEST MOON 
DOESN'T JUST 
OPERATE AS A 
PUMPKIN PATCH 
DURING THE FALL 
SITE THEY ALSO 
OFFER A WEDDING 
VENUE ON THEIR 
SITE AND DUE TO 
COVID-19 THIS IS 
ANOTHER HURDLE 
THE BUSINESS HAS 
HAD TO 
OVERCOME." 
TERRY 
WALLERSTEDT 
HARVEST MOON 
"IT'S BEEN KIND OF 
A QUIET SUMMER 
ON THE FARM 
USUALLY WE HAVE 
A WEDDING ALMOST 
EVERY WEEKEND 
AND WE'VE ONLY 
HAD FOUR THIS 
SUMMER SO THAT'S 
BEEN A CHANGE." 
WALLERSTEDT 
SAYS THANKFULLY 
MANY OF HER 
BRIDES HAVE 
DECIDED TO 
POSTPONE THEIR 
WEDDINGS UNTIL 
NEXT SUMMER.. BUT 
HER BUSINESS HAS 
STILL TAKEN A 
FINANCIAL HIT... 
SHE'S HOPING TO 
BRING BACK SOME 
NORMALCY FOR 
FAMILIES THIS FALL 
SEASON. 
TERRY 
WALLERSTEDT 
HARVEST MOON 
"IF PEOPLE FEEL 
SECURE, THEY WILL 
COME AND IF THEY 
DON'T FEEL 
SECURE, THEY 
WON'T COME AND 
WE'RE OKAY WITH 
THAT AND WE JUST 
WANT TO BLESS 
EVERYONE AND WE 
JUST WANT YOU TO 
DO WHAT YOU FEEL 
IS SAFE FOR YOU."

JACOB: 
I'LL BRING YOU A 
PREVIEW OF OUR 
GAME OF THE 
WEEK, OABCIG AT 
SPIRIT LAKE..LIVE, 
RIGHT AFTER THE 
BREAK 
SPORTSZONE IS 
JUST A FEW HOURS 
AWAY... THIS 
WEEK'S GAME OF 
THE WEEK?... 
OABCIG AT SPIRIT 
LAKE... SOME HIGH 
EXPECTATIONS FOR 
BOTH TEAMS 
COMING INTO THE 
SEASON... AND 
WE'LL FIND OUT 
WHO'S READY TO 
LIVE UP TO THEM 
TONIGHT... KCAU9'S 
JACOB RUSSO IS 
STANDING BY IN 
SPIRIT LAKE NOW 
WITH A PREVIEW ON 
TONIGHT'S ACTION... 
JACOB? 
 
WELL JAKE, IT'S 
WEEK 2, AND I'M IN 
BEAUTIFUL 
DICKINSON COUNTY 
FOR OUR GAME OF 
THE WEEK... IT'S A 
TALE OF TWO 
DIFFERENT WEEK 
ONE'S FOR OUR 
TEAMS: OABCIG 
DROPPED 42 
POINTS LAST WEEK 
IN THEIR WIN, WHILE 
THE SPIRIT LAKE 
INDIANS ONLY 
SCORED ONE 
TOUCHDOWN IN A 
LOSS FOR THIER 
FIRST GAME OF THE 
SEASON... 
REGARDLESS OF A 
WIN OR A LOSS, 
BOTH TEAMS WANT 
TO SCORE A BUNCH 
TONIGHT... 
 
YOU CAN'T TALK 
ABOUT OABCIG 
WITHOUT TALKING 
ABOUT COOPER 
DEJEAN... THE KID IS 
A LIVING HIGHLIGHT 
REEL... HE'S A FOUR 
STAR RECRUIT 
COMMITTED TO 
PLAY FOR THE IOWA 
HAWKEYES... AND 
HE JUST 
COMMITTED TO 
PLAYING THE 
ADIDAS ALL 
AMERICAN BOWL 
THIS JANUARY AS 
ONE OF THE TOP 
PLAYERS IN THE 
NATION... 
BUT MAKE NO 
MISTAKE... THIS 
ISN'T A ONE MAN 
TEAM... DEJEAN HAS 
SOME TALENTED 
TARGETS WHO CAN 
MAKE A 
DIFFERENCE ON 
THEIR OWN: TRUST 
WELLS AND GRIFFIN 
DIERSEN BOTH HAD 
100 YARDS LAST 
WEEK, DIERSON 
HAD TWO 
TOUCHDOWNS TO 
BOOT, SO THIS 
FALCONS TEAM IS 
AN OFFENSIVE 
FORCE... 
AS FOR THE 
INIDIANS, THEY'RE 
MORE OF A 
DEFENSIVELY 
STRONG TEAM. 
THEY HAVE A 
BUNCH OF 
STARTERS WITH 
PREVIOUS VARSITY 
EXPERIENCE, THEY 
ONLY ALLOWED 
WEST SIOUX TO 
SCORE 14 POINTS IN 
WEEK ONE, 
UNFORTUNATELY 
LIKE I SAID THEY 
ONLY SCORED 7... 
SO THE FOCUS FOR 
SPIRIT LAKE THIS 
WEEK ISN'T 
DEFENSE, THEY 
KNOW THEY CAN 
GET THE JOB DONE 
THERE, BUT 
RATHER SCORE 
MORE OFTEN, 
BECAUSE THEY 
CANNOT EXPECT TO 
SCORE JUST 7 
POINTS AND WIN 
AGAINST A TEAM 
LIKE OABCIG... 
 
THE INDIANS ARE 
GONNA HAVE THEIR 
HANDS FULL WITH 
COOPER DEJEAN 
TONIGHT, BUT IF 
THEY CAN CORRAL 
THE FALCONS QB, 
THAT MIGHT JUST 
BE THE KEY TO 
VICTORY... 
WE'RE ONLY A HALF 
HOUR FROM 
KICKOFFF, I'LL HAVE 
A LIVE REPORT ON 
THE WINNER OF 
OUR GAME OF THE 
WEEK TONIGHT 
DURING 
SPORTSZONE... 
BUT FOR NOW, LIVE 
IN SPIRIT LAKE, 
JACOB RUSSO... 
KCAU9 SPORTS... 
JAKE 
WHAT A WEEK IT'S 
BEEN FOR IOWA 
STATE.... ON 
MONDAY 
ANNOUNCING 
THEY'LL HAVE 25 
THOUSAND FANS AT 
THEIR HOME 
OPENING FOOTBALL 
GAME... THEN 
WEDNESDAY 
ANNOUNCING 
THERE WON'T BE 
ANY FANS... AND 
TODAY DISCUSSING 
THE POSSIBLILITY 
OF LAYOFFS... 
ELIMINATING 
SPORTS... AND 
OTHER MEASURES 
TO MAKE UP FOR 
THE LOSS OF 
REVENUE WITHOUT 
FANS. 
 
AFTER THE 
DECISION THE 
SCHOOL WENT 
FROM A 17.5 
MILLION DOLLAR 
DEFICIT TO A 30 
MILLION DOLLAR 
DEFICIT... WHICH 
MEANS THE 
ATHLELTIC 
DEPARTMENT HAS 
TO MAKE 
RECOMMENDATIONS 
TO THE 
UNIVERSITY'S 
LEADERSHOP TO 
MAKE UP FOR IT... 
INCLUDING MORE 
PAYROLL 
REDUCTIONS FOR 
COACHES AND 
STAFF... AND 
POSSIBLY LAYING 
OFF COACHES.... 
ELIMINATING 
SPORTS ENTIRELY... 
WHICH WOULD 
MAINLY HELP THE 
FUTURE BUDGETS 
MAKE UP FOR THIS 
YEAR'S... AND 
POSSIBLY CLOSING 
THE C-Y STEPHENS 
AUDITORIUM... 
WHICH HOSTS 
PERFORMING ARTS 
... WHICH THE 
UNIVERSITY HAS 
BEEN SUBSIDIZING 
OPERATIONS AT 
NEARLY 1 MILLION
