After reading Bernie Hunhoff’s latest column about the British cowboy who took the Burke Stampede Rodeo by storm, AJ had a comment:

“Never been to South Dakota or to a rodeo, but this is cool. Makes me want to visit today. Thanks for sharing it with us all, South Dakota seems like a place I'd like to raise my kids too. Is it really like that? It hardly seems real to be honest?”

Well, AJ, you’re talking to a biased bunch. While it’s not without flaws, we firmly believe that South Dakota is a pretty great  place to be. Here are a small handful of reasons why.

• Friendly, helpful people
• Stunning and varied scenery
• Lots of options for outdoor fun
• New cultural experiences
• Well-polished frogs (ok, so this one's not so common)

So come for a visit, AJ. See what you think. Check our website or any issue of South Dakota Magazine to gather ideas of what you'd like to see and do. And if you make it to Yankton, stop in and say hi.
