Rewind the clock back a decade or so, and seeing big acts come to South Dakota was pretty rare. And when they did come, it was usually for large events only. Such as “The Sturgis Bike Rally”. As a kid my first concert was at the Sioux Falls Arena. So even though the Sioux Falls…
It was a Monday morning. And the day was just getting started. As I was looking through my morning emails I noticed a strange sensation. A very light rumble. Almost like someone was running on the roof. Or maybe like a very faint rumble of thunder. It didn’t last very long. But it was an…
Growing up in a small town in Scotland, South Dakota one of my favorite treats at The Rec Bar was Chislic. It never occurred to me that this was a thing in a very small part of the world. As a matter of fact, I got a little humor and disbelief out of the fact…
This is personally one of my favorite times of year. I love watching football. If it’s High School or the pros. And with NFL playoffs now kicking off, it gets pretty exciting. Watching the best of the best has a true nostalgia to it. Knowing that one team is going to make history. But what…

As a kid growing up, I have very fond memories of The Wizard of Oz. And even though I was bringing my kids to see it, I can’t help but confess that I wanted to see it just as bad. OK, probably worse than they did. On the way to the show, I couldn’t but…
It was about 15 years ago now when I first got introduced to dirt track racing. I had went to Huset Speedway in Brandon South Dakota. This was my first time have being to a race of any sorts. And to say the least, I was pretty curious about it. To first hear the cars…
Are you looking for food, fireworks, music, dancing, parades, rides or pivo? (“pivo” is the Czech word for beer) Then Tabor Czech days is for you. Once a year, the town of Tabor South Dakota turns from a town of a few hundred, into a town of thousands. A celebration that’s been around for over…
