The Pierre-Fort Pierre Exchange Club is displaying the US and South Dakota flags across the Missouri River Bridge between Fort Pierre and Pierre in observance of Native Americans Day/Columbus Day today (Oct. 13, 2025).
The Flags Across the Missouri River Bridge is a Pride in America and fundraising program promoted by the Pierre/Fort Pierre Exchange Club. Today’s flags are sponsored by the South Dakota Intrastate Pipeline Company.
Also in recognition of Native Americans Day/Columbus Day, over 130 Pierre businesses will fly the flag in front of their stores. Since the early 1980’s the Pierre-Fort Pierre Exchange Club and Boy Scout Troop 27 have partnered to post flags outside sponsoring businesses.
If you are a local business owner who would like to participate in this display of Americanism and community, please contact Scott Rounds with the Pierre-Fort Pierre Exchange Club at 605-280-9611. A one year contract to have the flags posted on the various holidays in front of your business is $40.
The Pierre-Fort Pierre Exchange Club meets at 12:00 noon on the 1st and 3rd Mondays of each month at Jake’s Good Times Place in Pierre.
