Everything going on in Sioux Falls, South Dakota
Yeah, you don’t have to live here long to hear a few jokes about the “Big Sewer” running through town. But things ain’t as bad as they used to be, and the Big Sioux is flowing the right direction.
Be a part of the transformation Oct. 10th! The city’s getting the volunteers out to tidy up the riverbanks on what could and should one of the best parts of our little city.
No registration needed! Just get out and get a little dirty… and make some new friends too.
Not sure exactly what the point of this thing was supposed to be, but Kristi Noem and T. Denny were planning a Go! South Dakota! bash at the premier center October 24th.
But looks like their big draw, country star Chris Young has decided to pull the plug on his performance. Turns out the guy takes Corona seriously, and didn’t want to be tagged a “super-seeder” by the press.
After the flack Smash Mouth got from Sturgis, we can’t blame him.
But don’t cry too much kids, we’re sure there’s plenty tear-in-my-beer bro-country coming to The Denny for years to come.
South Dakota’s a weird spot for national politics. While we’ve been getting headlines this year (Covid, Smithfield’s, Rushmore, Kristi Noem on Fox, etc…) we’re still pretty far off of the campaign trail for most big candidates. Why? ‘Cause the Republicans got a lock on our 3 teeny little electoral votes. So when someone does swing through, we like to take a look.
Last night it was Libertarian VP candidate Spike Cohen. He spoke for a bit at Falls Park, introduced by some other Libertarians running for local office, and took time get his selfie on with a gaggle of adoring fans.
Smart guy, filled with conviction. Whether or not the Libertarian solution is what this country needs is up to you. (We stay out of the endorsement racket!) But if you like your weed and love your guns, and just generally doin’ your own thang…well, he’s your man.
Regardless, it’s good to get a few more voices out there mixing things up. It’s a big country. No reason to stay stuck with two choices. Can we agree on that???
We’re still kicking ourselves for not grabbing some tickets floating around for Willie’s show at The Corn Palace a few years ago. (C’mon, Willie Nelson at The Corn Palace??? Does it get any more perfect than that???) But hopefully we’ll be making the trip up to Brookings next summer.
Like most things this year, Willie Nelson’s show at the Swiftel Center got booted to some later date TBD. Well, the news is in, and he’ll be bringing the family to South Dakota August 11th, 2021.
Yeah, that’s a long way, but get your tickets now and make it a date. The Red-Headed Stranger’s one of those ones you want to catch while you can.
Wait a minute! You mean there’s more than two guys running for President?
Why yes! You’ve got other choices, America! And going Libertarian is one of them! We aren’t going to get into politics here, but if you’re the kind of South Dakotan likes guns and weed and generally just being left alone, you might want to check them out.
This year Dr. Jo Jorgensen is running on the Libertarian ticket, and she’s making a stop in Sioux Falls September 22nd. The details are still being ironed out, but check out their “Save The Date” Facebook page for updates.
She’s a professor, a politician, a mom, and an entrepreneur. Sounds like she’s got a lot on-the-ball! Who knows, maybe she’ll have a few good ideas for the Washington too.
We’re planning on checking her out! At the very least, it’s good to options.
