   Downtown Brandon Hanson---with his team –always put together what you can plan on for the weekend. Brandon is not with us this morning---a family funeral has him away---but he left enough notes for me to fill you in on what you OUGHT to be LOOKING FORWARD to—

    Let's start with the biggest reason to get Downtown right now: Pork Showdown!

    All October long, 26 Downtown restaurants are competing to create the best pork dish in Sioux Falls. And these aren't just your typical pork chops or pulled pork sandwiches. Our chefs are getting creative, putting together some incredible dishes that you won't find on their regular menus.

      Here's how it works: visit a participating restaurant, order its Pork Showdown creation, and scan the QR code to rate your experience. You're judging everything from flavor and presentation to how creatively they've used pork. At the end of October, your votes will help crown our champion.

      And a big thank you to the South Dakota Pork Producers Council, now in its third year sponsoring Pork Showdown. This is a fantastic partnership because it connects one of South Dakota's major agricultural industries directly with our local restaurants and the people who support them.

      Brandon  always encourages people to make an evening of it. Try a new restaurant, visit a retailer, grab a drink somewhere afterward. Pork Showdown is about more than one meal. It's about getting people out, exploring Downtown and supporting the businesses that make it special.

You can find all 26 participating restaurants and their dishes at dtsf.com.

Friday

      For the home cooks, Plum's Cooking Company is hosting a Southern Cooking class Friday evening from 6:00 to 8:00. Chef April Johnson will be sharing some Southern favorites, starting with pimento cheese and other comfort-food classics.

Saturday

      Saturday morning, the Falls Park Farmers Market is open from 8:00 to 1:00. We're down to the final few Saturdays of the season, so this is a great opportunity to stock up on fall produce, baked goods and locally made products while supporting our area farmers.

      And if you're looking for a date night or family outing, don't forget about the Sioux Falls State Theatre. It's celebrating its 100th anniversary this year, and it's one of the most unique places in our city to catch a movie. Check their website for this weekend's showtimes, then make dinner Downtown part of the experience.

Sunday

      For the performing arts crowd, the World Ballet Company brings Swan Lake to the Washington Pavilion Sunday evening at 6:00. We're talking 50 international dancers, more than 150 costumes, and a live orchestra performing Tchaikovsky's music. It's a major production and another example of the caliber of entertainment we're fortunate to have right here in Downtown Sioux Falls.

      And one last reminder: You don't need a major festival on the calendar to enjoy Downtown. Between Sculpture-Walk, our restaurants, local shops, breweries and coffeehouses, there's plenty to fill an afternoon or evening.

      Find all the Pork Showdown details and our full events calendar at    dtsf.com/events. We'll see you Downtown
