Good morning, Rapid City.

Hundreds of veterans and family members gathered at the Sturgis Community Center on Saturday for the Northern Hills Veterans Appreciation Fair—an event that offered a free lunch and benefits information from more than 40 veteran organizations.

The fair, now in its sixth year with nine new groups joining, will return in 2026 to continue supporting local veterans.

A Rapid City partnership has launched a new event that will bring seniors, veterans, youth and families together for a free community meal and guided conversation experience.

The multigenerational meeting will offer a shared meal and conversation—helping to build bonds among local residents.

Following a USDA directive to undo full SNAP benefits for November, South Dakota paused releasing benefits for its roughly 75,000 recipients—its department now awaits further instruction after a Supreme Court stay.
