13 Ways South Dakota Is America’s Black Sheep… And We Love It That Way
South Dakota is certainly a one-of-a-kind place. From wearing shorts when it’s snowing to hunting our state bird, South Dakota is pretty special. Here are 13 reasons why South Dakota just might be our country’s black sheep. (We wouldn’t have it any other way.)
If you’re a motorcycle owner who hasn’t experienced Sturgis Motorcycle Rally held every year in the tiny town of Sturgis, you’ve been missing out. It’s fairly insane, yet awesome to say the least.
In fact, we have a lack of an accent, and It’s because we enunciate and pronounce everything CORRECTLY!
Oh, it snowed last night? Still gotta go to work in the morning.
When it’s 30 degrees warmer one month than the previous months, it’s time to bring out the spring wardrobe.
Is it still chislic if it’s not lamb meat served on wooden skewers?! We still haven’t come to a consensus.
We also have a fantastic craft beer scene. Check out Firehouse Brewing Company in Rapid City to try an Irish Red Ale.
Don’t get me wrong, we love East River too, but you won’t find scenery like this throughout the whole entire state.
Home to 814,000 souls, our state is not heavily populated by any means, yet we are the 17th largest geographically.
It’s safe to say that our relationship with Chinese ring-necked pheasant anything but conventional.
Held annually over Labor Day weekend on a Worthing farm, this massive concert is truly unlike any other.
Though it can become bothersome, mostly the misconceptions are quite comical. Check the list of things we have to explain to out-of-towners here.
There’s truly nothing like a South Dakota summer thunderstorm. (Of course, we do go inside and take proper precaution if we feel we or our loved ones are in danger!)
We’re home to Mount Rushmore and Crazy Horse and forever proud of it!
Personally, I love living in such a unique and quirky state! What would you add to this list? Let us know in the comment section.
