Doland News

It came!!! Summer found us!! And did it ever with a vengeance. Where did Spring go to? I guess this is South Dakota and anything is possible when it comes to the weather. I just figured that because we do not live in a perfect world, we can not expect perfect weather. Got to love the changing of the seasons…blizzards (cold) and construction (the heat of summer). That is okay. At least as of this writing, we have not had any severe storms. I am so thankful for that!!

On June 15th and June 16th, the R-Bar will be having their 23rd Annual Bike/Poker Run. There will be a poker run, games (on the motorcycles) and all kinds of prizes. There will be a raffle for a Harley Davidson Motorcycle. On Friday, there is a silent auction from 7 PM until 9 PM. The proceeds from the silent auction will be going towards the Wounded Warriors (veterans that were wounded during war). On Friday, beginning around 5 PM, there will be a pig roast. There will be a free will donation with the money raised to benefit the Doland Fire Department. Friday night at 9 PM, enjoy the music of Christina and the Rem Boyz. Saturday when the poker run and bike games wind down, sit back and enjoy the music of Zwarte at 9 PM. There will be a $10.00 cover charge.
