Greetings!
 The Black Hills are once again on the receiving end of some impressive kudos from the travel industry. Mount Rushmore ranked 5th in the top 15 man-made attractions in the annual Byways Magazine survey of travel professionals. The Black Hills came in number 4 in the Top 5 natural attractions, and South Dakota ranked 14th in the top 30 state destinations.

Shebby Lee Elected to TAP Board of Directors
 I acquired a new hat this month - a metaphorical hat, as in too many hats, not enough heads! I have been elected to the Travel Alliance Partners (TAP) Board of Directors.

(I also promise never to wear this hat in public!) |
