    The Sheriff’s Office wanted us to share that this is a scam—do not call the number and provide any information. If you already have—let the Sheriff’s Office and I’m sure Jessie know what happened—so you can help others.

    Coming up tomorrow---the Sioux Empire Crime Stoppers Program is wanting you to be a part of the Touchless Event to rid yourself of trash. It’s an event held every year---and they suggest a $5 per box or bag donation to help benefit Crime Stoppers giving cash rewards to help our law enforcement fight crime, remain anonymous and receive awards.

    BBB advises for your safety and the volunteers—this will be a TOUCHLESS event---please stay in your vehicle and have the items you would like shredded in the BACKSEAT of your vehicle or IN YOUR Trunk.

     9:19---we talked with Teri Schmidt---Experience Sioux Falls and Frank Gurnick the with soccer club –he is the Executive of Dakota alliance Soccer Club----about the June event that will bring hundreds of soccer teams to Sioux Falls—the biggest soccer event for Sioux Falls.

     We also talked with Kip Rounds—SD Game Fish and Parks----Kip shared there has been some fish stockings—including some Atlantic salmon. In addition the turkey season has been opened---and it gives us all a chance to get licensed—and enjoy the South Dakota Great Outdoors.

    Ron Nelson—Nelson Commercial Real Estate—talked about those that are suggesting tough times could be ahead. Ron here’s some of those same reports put out from Omaha----and realizes you can’t always believe what you hear. We talked about re-purposing a building—knowing if it will work---and how Sioux Falls can move along with opportunities—today, tomorrow and beyond. Not all can be re-purposed ---but with what Sioux Falls brings to the table—it takes professionals like Mr. Nelson---to study—look to the past, the present and the future.
