A half dozen women came to the Keystone Library for a community discussion about the South Dakota One Book.
“The Seed Keeper,” by Diane Wilson parallels many things going on today for South Dakotans and people in general, said Molly Barari, who led the discussion on behalf of the program sponsor, the South Dakota Humanities Council.
Barari described the book as “dense”, adding, “there is a lot in it.”
Christmas came to Hill City with a flurry of festivities and snow last weekend. Things kicked off Nov. 24 with the Kris Kringle Vendor Fair, which allowed crafters a chance to show off their work, vendors a chance to market their products and shoppers a chance to purchase unique gifts. Despite the weather, 43 vendors made the trek to Hill City to set up their goods in the school gyms.
The weekend forecast looks a little chilly, but the hot cocoa is flowing in Hill City. Christmas is barely a month away, and Hill City is kicking off the countdown with a wonderful lineup of events. Grab your family or friends and find a new tradition to get into the Christmas spirit.
Years ago the Hill City Evergreen Garden Club wanted to have a fundraiser.
“They decided, ‘Oh we can make some wreaths.’ So they started in somebody’s garage and made them out of coat hangers,” said Merlene Broer, co-chair of today’s Christmas Wreath Fundraiser Project.
The members did this for many years until someone found frames to order. Since then the project has evolved and still continues to evolve today.
