Rapid City and the Black Hills are full of little treasures. If you have young children, one of the best is our own Storybook Island located off Sheridan Lake Rd. on the west side of Rapid City. This park is a virtual wonderland!
Storybook Island had its inception in 1959, created by the Rapid City Rotary Club. Area clubs and individuals made gifts in the form of attractions for the park. Over the years, Rapid City clubs, groups and individuals have donated their time and funds to help the park grow and prosper. The result is this wonderful free attraction for families.
I don't think there is a child in Rapid City that doesn't have fond memories of going to Storybook Island with their family. Visit Snow White, Dorothy and the Scarecrow, Cinderella, the Cat in the Hat -- take a ride on the fun train. Everyone you can imagine is here.
For kids aged 6-13, this August there is a theater camp held in conjunction with the Black Hills Community Theater. Each camper will have an opportunity to work with the Director of the Storybook Island Children's Theater to learn about different aspects of theatrical performance and participate in a completed performance at the end of the week. There are three age groups:
Anges 6-8 will put on "The Great Machine", ages 9-11 will show us "Puppet Theatre" and ages 12 -13 will work on "Improvisation".
To register call the Storybook Island Offices at 342-6357
Coming up is the ever-popular Sturgis Motorcycle Rally. Ask any Rapidcitian about "Rally Week" -- you are sure to hear lots of stories!
And of course, before I forget, I have a terrific open house for you!607 Minnesota Drive will be open Sunday, August 3 from 1:00-3:30 pm.
