Hi folks! Please hang with me here with some quite timely and relevant news (that means please read to the end of this story😁), but first… with only a few weekends left at the ice cream shop this season, today we have some of your favorites - Coffee Lovers ice cream and Lemon Cheesecake among others! Stop by after the football game this afternoon! Better get the last of the season before it’s gone!
So this weekend is special for our community and for downtown - lots of live music, food trucks, games, a parade, and together with High School Homecoming, there is our Dusting Off Dakota event Saturday from 4:00-11-00pm downtown! Remember that tornado back in July?!? Well this event was supposed to be that weekend, which would have been awesome Summer fun, but hey, who can predict a good tornado and 100 mph winds! So I’m asking you now, put tomorrow evening on your calendar so you don’t forget, and please bring the family and come see all of us downtown this Saturday afternoon and evening (tomorrow September 26). Main Street will be closed for auto traffic so bring a pair of good walking shoes and maybe a light jacket. And when you are here strolling Dakota Avenue licking your melting ice cream cone, watching your kids run down the sidewalk, and listening to some great music, just remember this… the FACT that you are a part of a community that has COME TOGETHER and BUILT so much the past few years to create a downtown that proudly represents you, and our community!
At 6:00pm Saturday on the corner of 3rd and Dakota Avenue, Mayor Robish will help take our town to the next level. (See the attached photos for the story from the Plainsman this weekend) With some smart effective marketing and branding, Huron is setting itself up to once again become the hub of rural eastern South Dakota. See you at 6:00 Saturday with an ice cream in hand!
Pop Huron is at 274 Dakota Avenue in the beautifully restored 100 year-old former Habicht’s Department Store. We are open this week special hours - Friday from 6:00-9:00, Saturday from 4:00-9:00, and Sunday from 6:00-9:00.
