All Things Sioux Falls

New Issue Released Every Tuesday

Welcome Back Sioux Falls Crew,

One of the things we love about Sioux Falls is that we get to discover lots of new places, businesses, and make new friends each day. It's great and we love it.

This last week, we had family over from Minneapolis so we took them sight seeing and had an amazing time! Ended the weekend by grabbing some lovely steak from Uncle Ed's Specialty Meats and grilling. In short, we had a blast this weekend. And we hope you did too.

Now that we're in September, it's time to start getting ready for fall and winter. We might take a trip to the candy store in Jordan, MN (largest in MN I believe) before it closes for the year. We're also excited to go to the pumpkin patch with our kiddos - last time, they had a great time and we're sure they will again this time.

Now, as the new month gets on the way, we want to say thank you to our new readers and welcome. We've received some emails that were delightful and we're so glad you're here.

In today’s exposé:

Alrighty then, let's get to it!

Business Buzz

Uncle Ed's Specialty Meats

1001 S Stoakes Ave, Sioux Falls, SD

We had family in town last weekend, and although Texas Roadhouse was on the radar, it did not work out with the nap schedules. However, I still wanted to treat the family to some great food.

Uncle Ed's Specialty Meats, may be on the edge of town, but it is well worth the drive. When you walk in, you are greeted with rows of fresh, local product and hand-cut steaks, made to order.

The service was impeccable, and the meat melted like butter (and trust me, it wasn't my cooking skills).

I would personally recommend Uncle Ed's to anyone who is looking for quality food at a conscious price. Get the peace of mind of supporting local.

Emelia: To free herself from the organization that raised her and made her lethal - she arranged her death, by suicide.
And so, one day, she got up on a bridge, looked down at the flowing river and fell.
But, that wouldn’t be the end of her. A young man saw this and saved her. And nothing on earth could prepare her for what happened next.

Core Memories: Fall Fun Around Sioux Falls

We are officially in Fall, the mornings are filled with crisp air, Ziggi's has dropped their new seasoned drinks, and Spirit Halloween is now open!

Welcome fall, grab your fav drink at Ziggi's and elevate your weekend with a trip to the Apple Orchard! Sometimes it is the little things, like picking your first apple off of a tree, that make the biggest impact- and the longest lasting memories.

Here are four local Apple Orchards that will offer a fun-filled day for the whole family!

The Country Apple Orchard:

Established in 1984, the Country Apple Orchard has been providing fun fall activities to the Harrisburg and surrounding towns for 41 years. Every Weekend until October 26th, head to the Apple Orchard for the Fall Festival featuring a petting zoo, food trucks, apple activities, and tractor train rides!

Hoversten Apple Orchard:

Bought 37 years ago by David Hoversten with the intent to grow strong family roots, the Hoversten Apple Orchard is home to over 20 varieties of apples. Bring the whole family to Brandon to sample, pick, and bag apples in a fully hands on experience!

Homestead Orchard:

Nestled inside the hidden-gem of a town, Parker. The Homestead Orchard allows you to broaden your horizons with an assortment of not only apples, but pumpkins and squash! After you have found your perfect pickin's check out the breath-taking chrysanthemum show, with over 100 plants sporting color.

Prairie Blush Orchards:

Lake Norden may be an hour and a half drive but take the scenic route and let nature flood you with gratitude. Prairie Blush Orchards is a stop you do not want to miss. These apples are perfect for freezing, which means all of you canners, bakers, and apple cynosures can stock up now!

Fall Flavors Are One of My Favorite Go to Comforts.

THE COZY CORNER

Today's pet of the week is Shaawat, a service dog :) She's such a beauty and looks so cuddly 😊
PET OF THE WEEK - SHAAWAT

We want to see your pets! Submit your animals' picture here.

Hey all of you Chrome and Classic Car lovers! This week, rev your engines, rescue local animals, and fall in love at the Union Social in Harrisburg, SD. After the show, enjoy a coffee and breakfast bar, followed by mimosas and bloody marys and let the kids burn off some energy at Air Madness!

Your weekends are busy, and your home is the meeting hub for family, friends, teammates, and neighbors all to meet, chow down, and have a good time. You need an area that works for you, and all of your entertainment needs, and look no further, because this 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom home, with a rare, oversized backyard is the gem you have been waiting for.

Groceries are expensive, and sometimes, you are not able to stretch them until your next store run. Friday, September 5th join Faith Temple Church for a food drive for locals, and feel peace of mind knowing your family is taken care of!
