Welcome back crew! Hope you had a great weekend and a fantastic start to the week yesterday. Feels like a long time since the last issue so I am quite glad to be back in your inbox today. Tons of things to share so enjoy this issue and I shall see you out there in the world.

THE SIOUX FALLS REPORT

SUNSET β 9:06pm. We're two weeks from the longest evening of the whole year, so the light just keeps stretching.
AT THE FALLS β The new overlook construction is still going strong in the hot summer heat.
AROUND TOWN β Levitt season's on, free music on the lawn at Falls Park every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday all summer. This Friday the 12th, internationally known saxophonist Grace Kelly headlines. Lawn opens at 6:30, music at 7, bring a blanket.

You walk away with the best honey South Dakota has to offer and a great experience at a real bee farm.

Meet some of the young entrepreneurs coming to Lake Lorraine on June 25
Thursday, June 25th, dozens of kid-run businesses are opening their doors at Lake Lorraine, and the lineup might surprise you.
Yes, there's lemonade. There are baked goods. But there's also a custom soda bar with add-ons and flavors, handcrafted crochet animals and plushies, 3D-printed toys you can customize, homemade scented candles, paracord bracelets, and a three-week survival course taught by a kid.
Pool bags with handmade floating squishies, and a ring toss game where you can walk away with a prize. One vendor makes fire starters.
Another designs custom hair accessories.
One 11-year-old is launching a full neighborhood services business: lawn care, pet sitting, vacation home check-ins, and more.
There's even a booth with cat toys made from home-grown catnip, dog biscuits, and human ones too.
This is what the Acton Children's Business Fair looks like.
Every vendor picked their product, built their brand, set their prices, and figured out how to sell it, all on their own.
Two ways to support these kids:
Show up.
Sponsor the fair.
June 25th, 4 to 6:30 p.m. Bring cash. Admission is free. Help make this event possible.

Crew Spotlight
One thing I love about Sioux Falls that a lot of people overlook is how connected it feels without feeling crowded.
β
What stands out is how easy it is to stay connected to the people and places that matter. You can get across town in minutes, run into familiar faces, enjoy local events, and still have access to parks, trails, restaurants, and amenities that are usually found in much larger cities. The balance between convenience, community, and quality of life is something many residents donβt fully appreciate until theyβve lived elsewhere.
β
In many ways, Sioux Falls offers the benefits of a growing city while still holding onto the sense of community that can be hard to find in larger metropolitan areas.

πΎ Help Local Animals - River is a sweet little domestic rabbit. He is a gentle soul, great with kids and being handled. If you have never had a pet before, or if you are used to larger animals, River has a refreshing and welcoming demeanor.
π House Hunt
This home is perfect for those with kids and grandchildren. It sits just a few blocks away from McKennan Park and features a fully fenced backyard. With a little bit of work, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath home will be the stunner of the entire block.
β€οΈ Give Back - The Sioux Empire Ghostbusters will be at 605 Pop Culture Con accepting donations for Voices Against Cancer. Cancer is the number one cause of death in South Dakota as of 2026, and every one of us knows someone whose life has been changed forever by it. Give back, keep a memory alive, and fight cancer.
