Heat won’t keep kites from flying today at Hilger’s Gulch in Pierre

The 10th Annual South Dakota Kite Day is this afternoon (June 23) from 1-4pm CT at Hilger’s Gulch in Pierre.

Organizer Steve Wegman with the Pierre Elks’ Lodge says children ages 17 years old and under– and their parents– are invited to participate.

Wegman says it’s not required, but children are encouraged to register by going to the Pierre Elks’ Lodge Facebook page.

If you would like to help or have a question, call Steve Wegman at 605-295-1221.

Kite Day is possible with support from the NextEra Energy Resources and Pierre Elks Lodge #1953.
