Our September/October issue includes a feature on the Belle Fourche River valley. Butte County is a West River oasis, thanks to the Belle Fourche Irrigation District, a century-old project that can be traced back to 1885. Bernie Hunhoff took several photos in the area last summer while working on the story. Here are some that didn’t make the magazine.
Our November/December issue includes a story on the clever characters in Springfield. The Missouri River town has been through more highs and lows than most South Dakota communities, but the overall effect has not squelched the town’s spirit or creativity. South Dakota Magazine sent intern Chloe Kenzy, editor-at-large Bernie Hunhoff and his grandson, Steven, to visit the folks who help give Springfield its unique personality. Here are some of Hunhoff’s photos that didn’t make the magazine.
Our November/December issue includes a story about a German cookie with a twist. Bernie Hunhoff visited a meeting of the SoDak Stamm chapter of the Germans from Russian Heritage Society to learn about the recipe. Here are some of his photos that didn’t make the magazine.
Our September/October issue features an article on seven sporting events every South Dakotan should experience. We gathered several photos of impressive athletes, spirited spectators and everything in between. Here are some that didn’t make the magazine.
Thousands gathered to watch the 51st annual Buffalo Roundup last weekend at Custer State Park. Employees and volunteers corralled about 1,200 bison for branding, vaccination and pregnancy checks.

Our September/October issue includes a story on Vermillion’s downtown restaurants. The college town’s hungry citizens have historically enjoyed little culinary variety. There have always been burger joints, and University of South Dakota students thrive on the chicken wings from Leo’s. But the scene began to change a decade ago, and Vermillion is now home to some of South Dakota’s most popular locally-owned restaurants. Bernie Hunhoff’s photos accompanied the story of Vermillion’s restaurant renaissance. Here are a few that didn’t make the magazine.

Our September/October issue includes a story on Dale Lamphere’s Dignity, a 50-foot sculpture depicting a Native American woman wrapped in a star quilt. Its unveiling is scheduled for September 17 on a Missouri River bluff near Chamberlain. Bernie Hunhoff visited the Spirited Winds Tatanka Ranch near Scenic where Lamphere and a team of welders worked this summer. His photos accompanied the story, but here are a few more that didn’t make the magazine.
Our July/August issue includes a feature on the oddities, curiosities and fun traditions at our state and county fairs. Our founder and editor-at-large Bernie Hunhoff has photographed several of them in years past. Here are some of the shots that didn’t make the magazine.
Our July/August issue features the story of a traditional Native American naming ceremony held by Donna and Mike Stroup for their son, Jett, north of Pierre last summer.
