There are several Halloween events taking place around Keystone and Hill City.
The fifth annual Hill City Children’s Boo Bash & Pumpkin Festival will be held Saturday, Oct. 28 from 10 a.m. to noon at the Hill City Visitor Information Center (VIC).
The morning events feature a pumpkin patch where children and their parents can take pictures. Children can also take home their pumpkins to decorate or paint.
The recipient for the September Residential Yard of the Month is Lisa Miller, 234 Sunset View Ct., Hill City.
Miller has spent countless hours positioning rocks and trees to provide the best use of the hillside on which her home was built. By stacking the rocks in her sloping backyard, erosion is averted and instead the rocks provide a watering sytem for the sedum, woolly thyme and various flowers.
Bonnie Guerre of Hill City was named the 2023 South Dakota Library Association Trustee of the Year for her service to the Hill City Library Board of Trustees as both past president and current vice-president. The award was presented by Jennifer Williams-Curl, public relations chair for the South Dakota Library Assoc. at its annual conference held at the Best Western Ramkota Hotel in Rapid City.
