Fort Pierre’s annual Christmas Tree Lighting and Cowboy Christmas activities will be held Friday (Nov. 24, 2023) from 4-6:30pm CT.
Fort Pierre Development Corporation office manager Sunny Hannum says entries for the cook-off will be accepted until 3pm CT Friday, which is when contestants need to be in place for the contest. She says this year wagon rides and chili/soup tasting will happen simultaneously from 4-6pm CT so people are able to eat while waiting for a ride, or vice versa. A free will donation is taken at the chili/soup tasting with monies used to help struggling Fort Pierre residents with their heating bills.
This year’s Fort Pierre Christmas tree was donated by Doug and Dawn Day of Fort Pierre. Stanley County’s students will give a short concert of Christmas carols at 6:15pm. The switch to light the tree will be thrown at 6:30pm CT. Santa will make an appearance and DRG Media Group’s Dakota Cruiser will be there playing music.
