---for a decade now we have our own South Dakota Ukrainan voice on what is happening in that part of the world

 

  --------alla----share a few things we should know—and how you are doing here in South Dakota—

 -----------------alla=

 a few notes on Ukraine - have you been watching the winter olympics and watching for the yellow and blue flag? I have. the resilience that some of these athletes are showing, even while the war is tearing their country and families apart. That's what the Olympics have always been about. but i wish it was also about peace. Did you know russia is not allowed to compete as a country? because of their war on ukraine. That's a win in my eyes. Some russian athletes are still competing as independent athletes, but you will not see russian flag raised or their anthem sung.

 

Ukraine's energy grid is attacked daily. You can see for yourself if you look up the current situation in Kiev for example, but it's all cities and villages around the country. Ukraine has opened something called "resilience points", where you can come in, charge your phone, warm up, have some hot tea or coffee, maybe even a warm meal. Otherwise the electricity is divided up and provided several hours each day, sometimes the only time you have power is a few hours during the night, when you wake up and try to warm up your home, cook some meals, shower, etc.

 

while here, in SD - many ukrainians are blessed to be safe. They all value and appreciate that. What they are faced with at the same time is administrative delays, forcing them to quit jobs and even consider leaving the country. Many bind together, look for support and wait the delays out. While we are working to expedite these work authorizations one at a time, I wish there was a bigger fix. These people are here legally, they have already proven themselves in communities and at work, but every year they have to reapply for work authorization, pay fees. They don't mind, it's all a part of the process. but because of administrative delays - they are losing jobs, losing their medical insurance through employers, and losing all means to support themselves and their family.

  Fox Business News Next—and then we’ll hear from Downtown Sioux Falls’ Brandon Hanson----

 

9:29/00—KELO Commercials

9:30/30---Fox Bizzzz News

9:32/40---Business 4

   Brandon Hansen---Downtown Sioux Falls is with us this morning---and after all the events of the first few weeks of the year—we know he has more of the same up his sleeve(s)

 

Downtown is absolutely stacked this weekend — whether you’re celebrating Valentine’s, Galentine’s, or just looking for a great night out.

 

The headliner is Moulin Rouge! The Musical at the Washington Pavilion. It runs Friday through Sunday with multiple showtimes — Friday afternoon and evening, Saturday afternoon and evening, and two performances Sunday. This is the full Broadway production, 10 Tony Awards, huge set pieces, powerhouse vocals — it’s a big, bold, glamorous night out. If you’ve been waiting for a reason to plan dinner and a show downtown, this is it.

 

Saturday morning kicks off with a Galentine’s Day Celebration at Nordic Hall from 10 to 2, hosted by Midnight Spark Permanent Jewelry. It’s a fun daytime event with shopping, pop-ups, and a chance to grab your friends and make a day of it downtown.

 

If you’re planning a Valentine’s date night, La Dolce Date Night at DaDa Gastropub on Saturday evening is a three-course Italian dinner for two. It’s a one-night-only experience — a great option if you want something curated and special without leaving downtown.

 

And don’t forget, the Pavilion keeps the Moulin Rouge momentum going all weekend, including Sunday matinee and evening performances. That means you can build your own downtown experience — brunch and a matinee, shopping and dinner before the show, drinks after. It’s all walkable, all right there.

 

That’s really the magic of weekends like this — you don’t just attend an event, you spend time downtown. And that supports our restaurants, boutiques, bars, salons, and entertainment venues all in one trip.

 

Then, let’s look ahead to March for a minute, because it’s going to be a big one downtown.

First — St. Patrick’s Day Parade. Float registration is officially open. If you’re a business, nonprofit, sports team, friend group, or just a collection of people who own something green, now is the time to sign up. The parade runs right down Phillips Avenue and it’s one of those days where Downtown truly feels alive. Thousands of people lining the streets, kids with candy bags, restaurants packed before and after — it’s community in motion.

 

And then — Mash Madness is back for 2026, this year brought to you by Williquors.

 

It’s bigger and more creative than ever. It’s no longer just one lane — we’ve opened it up to craft cocktails, craft beer, coffee creations, and incredible non-alcoholic options. It’s a full-on celebration of Downtown’s drink scene.

 

Throughout March, participating spots will debut specialty drinks and the public gets to taste, vote, and help crown the 2026 winner. It’s friendly competition, but it’s also a showcase of the talent behind the bar — the mixologists, baristas, brewers, and owners who pour a lot of creativity into what they do.

The best part? You’re not just sipping something great. You’re driving foot traffic, supporting local businesses, and helping us highlight why Downtown Sioux Falls has one of the most dynamic food and beverage scenes in the region.

 

----Brandon Hanson---thanks for all you do----and making it so delightful to stop in Downtown Sioux Falls----

9:42/00—KELO Commercials

9:43/30---Business 4

  One of our guests for our Friday business show---are those engaged in sports---

   Jim Ohlander---Sioux Falls Stampede—keeps us on the ice----

 

   What can you share for our audience and your friends this morning—

Saturday---Des Moines

Sunday---Fargo Force at 405

 

Events---fun-----2025-2026 season how is it looking----

-----------------Cat------------------

----------we appreciate all that you are doing and that spring can’t be that far away-----

 

 

We’ll check in with the Sioux Metro Growth Alliance---when our It’s YOUR Business Friday show continues.
