Last year I decided that I need to make it easier to find articles on certain topics and it was time to hold a good old-fashioned round up. I got Pepin and Independence done and then I got distracted with other projects and topics. I still think it’s a good idea so I’m picking up where I left off.
These posts are all about De Smet, South Dakota, the Little Town on the Prairie and Pheasant Paradise. De Smet is the county seat of Kingsbury County and so it is a fairly large small town with multiple restaurants and hotels.
