South Dakota Vacation Guide 2011 - (Page 49)
Simply South Dakota
Your real South Dakota adventure begins here . . .
Hometown charm, Native American and ethnic culture, historic venues. It’s all here in
Southeast South Dakota. Far away from the tourist traps, we welcome you to experience
the “real” South Dakota. You’ll find unique cultural and ethnic festivals with food and
entertainment that reflects the community’s heritage, as well as rodeos, powwows, car
shows, county fairs and fantastic 4th of July celebrations. Shop a small town main street
for something out of the ordinary. Then have lunch with the locals in a quaint mom &
pop café and you’ll be welcomed by some of the friendliest folks anywhere.
Southeast South Dakota is also an outdoor paradise for hunting/fishing, camping,
hiking/biking, canoe/kayaking, or just watching a beautiful sunset.
