Sioux Falls Jazz Fest

Saturday we headed to Sioux Falls. We set up camp at Yogi Bear near Brandon. The corn was really high and provided a good visual barrior to the nearby interstate but it did nothing to keep out the noise. Later we learned that there was also a state recreation area with camping which we would try next time.


We spent the afternoon at Jazz Fest. The weather was great. We found some shade on the edge of the grounds where we could lay down on our blanket or sit in our chairs and do soduko puzzles and watch people come and go. The wind was very strong and we were tired when we got back to camp. We had also visited Crazy Days in downtown Sioux Falls. We were impressed by the sculptures along the avenue. Sunday morning we attended Living Springs Covenant Church in Brandon. Marlys had been there in April for the annual women's meeting. Their guest musicians were a band called Breat of Stone from Sioux City, IA. We headed out after church to return home. But, on the way, we stopped in New Ulm for brats and found Bavarian Fest - German music and lots of German food! What a nice treat. We stopped to see Curt & Mary Wilson in Norwood and arrived home in the late afternoon. It is always fun to get home again.
