SDSU Extension professionals network with peers across the country by attending their respective association conferences and representing the outreach work that is being done in South Dakota. “It is extremely gratifying to see the exceptional work of SDSU Extension professionals being recognized at the regional and national levels,” said Director of SDSU Extension Karla Trautman. “This recognition is a testament to the quality programming and outreach work that is being conducted by SDSU Extension across the state of South Dakota.” SDSU Extension Family and Community Health Field Specialist Kimberly Cripps and SDSU Extension Nutrition Field Specialist Megan Erickson were both members of the team that received the 2nd Place National NEAFCS Excellence in Multi-State Collaboration Award and 2nd Place Central Region NEAFCS Excellence in Multi-State Collaboration Award. The NEAFCS Excellence in Multi-State Collaboration Award recognizes outstanding Extension programs conducted by Extension educators and agents in two or more states. Sponsored by the NEAFCS Awards Fund, the award promotes and recognizes outstanding Extension programs conducted by a multi-disciplinary team demonstrating effective performance and significant results.

John Thune While I’m sure most people know about the Black Friday shopping event that follows Thanksgiving each year, a relatively new shopping “holiday,” of sorts, popped up in the last decade that is celebrated annually on the Saturday after Thanksgiving. Small Business Saturday was created almost ten years ago to encourage people to “shop small” and check out their local brick and mortar stores that dot Main Streets across America. In South Dakota, with 99 percent of businesses classified as small businesses, this event is particularly special. There are over 86,000 small businesses in the state that employ over 210,500 employees, collectively. So, when you support small businesses and the hardworking people who make them possible, you also help support the economy of South Dakota. I recognize what these stores, shops, and restaurants mean to our communities. Aside from the economic impact they have on our state, they also help give South Dakota its charm. Almost every city in our state has a Main Street that is home to a number of unique stores, from restaurants to retail. A local downtown coffee shop can serve as a great spot for friends to gather. The town bookstore can be the spot for all generations to share stories and book recommendations. And these are just a few examples. Small businesses are not just Main Street shops, retail stores, and restaurants. Small businesses are also the construction companies that keep our state’s communities growing by maintaining our local roads and infrastructure. They’re the local dentist, optometrist, and doctor’s offices that ensure our small towns have the services they need. They’re the local insurance companies and law offices – and many other businesses, too numerous to name. Small businesses are what make communities in our state great. Cash!
