    MITCHELL — 1st Fridays on Main has grown into a summer tradition, bringing residents and visitors to Mitchell’s main drag to mingle, eat, listen to live music and generally enjoy the warming South Dakota weather. It’s also a chance to do a bit of good for local organizations through mini-events like the annual Garden Party, where local gardeners pitch in with donations of materials to sell to benefit Habitat for Humanity.

    BROOKINGS — Faith Werkmeister had her eyes set on a teaching career when she enrolled at South Dakota State University four years ago. And by all measures, she succeeded. But it didn’t exactly go as she expected. During her time in Brookings, Werkmeister switched gears and changed from the early education program to the elementary education program and is now one of 11 inaugural graduates from a program that was launched just two years ago.

I'm not at the state track meet by my old Rebel 2000 is. My first ever SLR, circa 1999. Used this in the early 2000s until we went digital. Adam at @dailyrepublic is seeing what he can capture with it over the weekend. Good old film. 📷 https://t.co/BlKSLNHrkx
