Blizzard

The weatherperson says: "Blizzard warning. Stay home." We are. We're baking bread, making homemade crackers, noshing on cheese and chutneys and pickles, and knitting a neck warmer. Also working on future posts. What are you doing? Leave a comment. Stay home, please.

Christmas Recital

Current and former vocal and instrumental instructors at Kimball School will perform at a Christmas Recital, Sunday, 7 p.m. at St. Margaret Church. Kimball Music Ambassadors, who are headed to Europe in the Summer of 2011, will also perform.

Kimball, SD

The phrase "friendly small town" has become clique, but that's what we are: a friendly small town. Located right on Interstate 90 at exit 284 in central South Dakota. We embody all that is good about small town, rural South Dakota.

And we are the best stop you will make, whether on your way to the Black Hills or as a destination for a day trip.
