Blog-February 1, 2021—9-10---It’s YOUR Business

  Welcome to February!!

 

   In our 9-10 show---Jeff Griffin---President/CEO Greater Sioux Falls Chamber of Commerce joins us.

 

   One of the biggest events of the year was completed this weekend---with the 68th Annual Sioux Empire Livestock Show at the WH Lyon Fairgrounds.

 

   It was live---there were people----and there was enthusiasm for all that was accomplished. From the first events---our it’s YOUR Business Show was there----and that included the big day on Friday---with the animals taking center stage----all part of the lead-up to the Mayor’s Round-up and Sale of Champions Friday night.

 

   Jeff and the entire Chamber should be proud of what Holly Radar --- Agri Business Show Manager pulled off. It wasn’t easy---but it had the feel that it was suppose to have. And from our side it did.

 

   Jeff will give us what he saw---and why taking the gamble with this show worked.

 

   We’ll talk about that –as well as what’s up in February. With the Legislature meeting in Pierre---not exactly without quite a bit of fireworks--- but what the lawmakers do with the COVID Money, PPP stuff, and the regs they work with –will determine a lot of things for the rest of 2021.

 

    The first of the legislative coffee-s is this Saturday---and Sioux Falls Day in Pierre—which will be virtual this year is on the 19th.

 

    Jeff---is now beginning in his second year-----we’ll get his prospective---and where he think we should point the ship in 2021 and beyond.

 

    Debra Owen---Chamber Legislative leader---has been following the points –good and bad in Pierre for a number of years. We want to get her take on what she sees----where we are going----and what is good for the Greater Sioux Falls Chamber. 

 

    A late add to the show is John Riles—who handles Midwest Shows. We’ll find out his thoughts on how the Sioux Falls Show at the Denny worked last week---and what he sees for other shows like his in 2021. He was able to visit with us Friday Night at the Mayor’s Round Up---and today – we’ll get his take on not only the show he handles---but others in this season.

 

    9:34---Butch Warrington—Building Permit Chief for the City of Sioux Falls will join us. Traditionally ---on the first business day of the new month (February)---we get at least a quick look at how the previous 30 or 31 days did. We closed 2020---with a record setting pace---including the Amazon dollars that hit the board in the last two weeks.  What about 2021-----what does he see commercially---what does he see residentially---and how will the regs change in 2021?

 

   In the same segment---though separate---Dan Letliter--- Sioux Falls Airport---gives us a little update. There was a story late last week---about PSA and American Airlines----that was canceling a number of flights. I remember during the Christmas rush times there were a number of flights that were cancelled----as the number of boardings were down. 

 

   What about American/PSA Flying out of Sioux Falls? One of the flights we had with American in mid-December was cancelled and instead of us routing thru Dallas to our destination in Jackson, Mississippi---they cancelled the flight ---and we were sent thru Charlotte---which IS a PSA flight.

 

    Dan will update us on that ---the airlines----the masking requirements----and what else we should expect from our favorite airport in 2021.

 

    Our final guest in the 9-10 hour is Tim Ness---Ness Tax and Bookkeeping. Tim joins us for Tax Talk on Tuesday February 9th---9-10. With all the changes happening with the Fed’s and stimulus money that came in---as well as a change in the White House---we’ll get some ideas this morning. What about the April 15th deadline---will that be backed up to a later date? What do you need to bring with you for tax prep in 2021 for 2020?

 

   Our It’s YOUR Business Show---does share a lot of topics that business related. We utilize our partners, our experts, and follow what seems important for our listeners to know.

 

   You can listen live at 1320, 105.1, 107.9---use the KELO App—Streaming on line anywhere in the world or just ask Alexa.

 

    Norm Anderson will have the show available as a podcast---by noon on the day the show runs live. In this case—the show is 9-10, February 1, 2021. Go to the KELO-AM website look for PODCAST---It’s YOUR Business---

 

    Uses these notes---the “Blog” or roadmap ---for what was scheduled in the show---and where to find it. Need to reach me---outside of the show—call 728-BILL (2455) or email me at bill.zortman@mwcradio.com
