Never Roller Skate in a Buffalo Herd!

This weekend there will be some thunder in the Black Hills -- no, not the Sturgis Rally -- that's already happened. I'm talking about the Buffalo Roundup and Arts Festival in Custer State Park. Now this is a must see!

The event kicks off with a Chili Cookoff tomorrow -- the 19th annual Buffalo Wallow Chili Cookoff right in the park. This event grows larger every year and most competitors come complete with their own cheering sections, some even in costume! There will be live entertainment all day long and a large exhibit of arts and crafts for your perusal.

Don't miss the 4th annual Custer Arts Stampede. This exhibit features multiple life-sized buffalo statues that have been transformed into works of art by some of our best local talent.

Monday is when the real thunder starts. The 43rd annual Custer State Park Buffalo Roundup takes place starting in the morning and lasting throughout the day. Real cowboys and cowgirls round up the Park's buffalo herd for sorting, vaccinations and sales. It is amazing to see and brings you back to the true West. Park admission for the event is free on Monday -- you can't beat that! More information at www.custerstatepark.info

Of course, I also have two terrific open houses for you to visit as well!

The first is from 12:00 - 1:30 at 2218 38th Street in Rapid City. Immaculate cute and cozy! Super great location, close to Meadowbrook golf course, and Canyon Lake Park.
