South Dakota towns are “rolling out the orange carpet” in preparation for tomorrow’s (Oct. 15, 2021) pheasant hunting season opener.
Pierre Area Chamber Convention and Visitors Bureau director Tia Kafka has been greeting hunters at the Pierre Regional Airport.
She says tomorrow (Oct. 16, 2021) the South Dakota State Archives is hosting an interactive event at five of the statues along the Trail of Governors from 1:15-3:15pm CT.
Participants can start in front of the Hughes County Courthouse at the statue of Arthur C. Mellette or at the north entrance to the Capitol parking lot at the statue of Ralph E. Herseth.
The tour stops at five governors’ statues – Mellette, Coe I. Crawford, Robert S. Vessey, George T. Mickelson and Herseth. When you’ve visited all five, go to the State Archives at the Cultural Heritage Center in Pierre to see a selection of records from the Governors’ papers and get the final star on your maps. The first 25 groups or individuals to complete the route will receive a goody bag provided by the South Dakota Historical Society Foundation’s Heritage Store.
