A new winter sport for the Black Hills Winter sports in the Black Hills usually means skiing, snowmobiling, cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. But next winter, professional hockey is coming to the Rushmore Plaza Civic Center in Rapid City. A new multi-use arena is under construction right now, and it should be done by December 1. That will be just in time for the Rapid City Rush, the new Central Hockey League team to take to the ice on its new home ice.
A big homecoming for Sue, the T. rex Normally, the Field Museum of Chicago brings its “A T. rex Named Sue,” traveling exhibit – with a 42-foot plaster replica of the most complete Tyrannosaurus rex fossil ever found -- only to large-city venues. But Faith, S.D., can claim something no other city can. It’s Sue’s hometown. Just 13 miles north of town, Sue was unearthed by a team from Hill City, S.D.,-based Black Hills Institute of Geological Research back in 1990. The Field Museum later acquired the fossil for $8.4 million and put her on display in Chicago. The Field Museum's traveling Sue exhibit opens in Faith on Saturday, May 10, and runs through Sept. 1, said Ron Frame, head of the Faith Chamber of Commerce.
McCain to Roll Into Sturgis for Motorcycle Rally Talk about a Secret Service nightmare. The Buffalo Chip Campground, the sometimes wild and wooly outpost on the eastern edge of the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, announced last week that Sen. John McCain, the Republican presidential candidate, will be at the Chip this year.
Archaeology Summer Camp in Deadwood Gives Kids Indiana Jones Experience
All right, admit it: at some point in your life, you wanted to be an archaeologist. You were probably 11 and had just seen Indiana Jones for the first time. Then again, maybe you were 35 and had just seen Indiana Jones. It doesn't matter. Since the days of Heinrich Schliemann, Arthur Evans and Howard Carter, archeology has been a dream job for most people - somewhere between astronaut and fireman. Deadwood's Adams Museum knows that, so they've teamed up with the Deadwood Historic Preservation Commission to organize an archeology camp for 20 children for one week in Deadwood this summer, from June 23 through June 27. Alas, the camp is only open to kids ages nine through twelve (between the third and seventh grades), so if you're just a kid at heart, you'll have to settle for sending your children and experiencing it vicariously. Either that or do a lot of shrinking.
Black Hills to Kick It Into ‘Overdrive’ The Black Hills have been a gathering place for Harley riders, Corvette lovers, Impala fans and other groups whose interests transportation of the cooler kind. Organizers of the fourth annual Black Hills Overdrive in early June have combined all those interests into a single, all-car rally for car lovers of '57 Chevs, vintage '34 Ford hot rods, Studebakers and Hot Rod Lincolns.
