Blog---September 12, 2025—9-10—It’s YOUR Business

   In our Friday---9-10—It’s YOUR Business Show—we bring family together to talk about almost all the things that have been going on and will be going on.

   Jodi Schwan---Sioux Falls Business got us started---and of course we had to talk about the Sanford International Golf Tournament. It is one it not the biggest sporting event we see each year in Sioux Falls, While we were just starting our engines with our Friday Business Show—they were doing the opening ceremonies at Sioux Falls Country Club. Jodi keeps a close eye on what is attracting attention, what people would want to read about---and just why it needs to continue.

   Jessie Schmidt---BBB of South Dakota---had us talking about people buying Sports Team Merchandise---but if you don’t do a little research first you could be surprised by stuff that isn’t a part of a famous athlete. The same with promised vacations---that turn out to be a dud—a phony---something you got taken for. If you think that is the case—before you lay down the green—make sure you get what you were promised—or what you thought it would be. BBB is there to help keep score and tell you when it is really a “Foul Ball”.

   Teri Schmidt---Experience Sioux Falls and Kip Rounds—South Dakota Game Fish and Parks—talked about their expectations on the pheasant season—the fishing finish to  be reason as well. Teri was talking about the October 16-17th Fly-in and the season opener on October 18th. Something we always keep a close eye on.

    Kip---about the October 4th Festival----staying at one of the South Dakota State Parks---and what you might expect to get for the upcoming season.
