Illini 4000 For Cancer Cyclists Visit Kimball

Cyclists on a cross-country ride for Illini 4000 for Cancer stopped in Kimball, SD for their noon break on June 23. Here's a photo of them in front of JANS Frosty King, shouting "buffalo" in anticipation of riding past the buffalo herd just outside of town. We are so glad they stopped and shared their story with us.

Independence Day Celebration - Sunday, July 3

"Wow! You folks got lots of stuff going on over here..." is how a business leader from a nearby (and much larger) community put it while she was visiting Kimball.

Kimball puts on quite the Independence Day party.  The co-ed softball games are exciting to watch.  The parade is a unique mixture of vintage vehicles - tractors and cars, kids on their decorated bikes, floats, horses and buggies, and marching units of all sorts and sizes.

"Tasty, and plenty to eat," is how folks describe the pork feed. There's nothing quite like eating with the rest of the town in the shade over at Pool Park on East Second Street.

Fireworks are the perfect end to the day. View them from the softball diamond or the parking lot of Kimball Protestant Parish.

This year's Independence Day Celebration is being held on Sunday, July 3.

Co-Ed Softball Tournament - 11 a.m.
Parade on Main Street - 5:30 p.m. (Want to participate? Just Show Up.)
Free Pork Feed at Pool Park - 6:00 p.m.
Third & Fourth Place Game - 7:00 p.m. at Big Field on West Side of Town
Championship Game - 8:00 p.m.
Fireworks - Sundown

On Monday, July 4 you can enjoy more fireworks in Chamberlain - Over the Bluffs of the Missouri River fireworks display starts at dusk. Visit the Chamberlain Oacoma Chamber of Commerce website for more information.

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.
