The South Dakota Musical Ambassadors are still making their way across Europe. Some of them are not impressed by the wine out there. It took our Publisher 40 years to figure out the best wine, yet he still prefers chocolate milk. There have been reports that some of the Ambassadors were caught licking the Eiffel Tower. Harold Hinkle might have a frozen pump handle or two that these kids might like to try.

     Holabird Advocate Publisher, Jerry Hinkle, will be working 2 shifts at the Hut on the 237th Anniversary of the signing of the Declaration! he is hoping to slip on over to the picnic at Dakota Discovery to hear the band play in between shifts. Time will tell if he sees fireworks. If not a live display there is always the possibility of fireworks videos on YouTube! That's the beauty of the 21st century, one can be by themselves and still have a party!

With Holabird Advocate Publisher, Jerry Hinkle about to turn 46 in about 2 weeks time, Harold and Mary Hinkle, who conceived, and in part, gave birth to Jerry, have arranged their busy schedules to come to Mitchell and celebrate his birthday. It's been reported that they will be meeting Ken and Joan Hansen however that report has not been confirmed. The surprise part will actually be if Jerry shows up to this party, because he may have to work at the Hut. Also, they have to trick Jerry into showing up at the party venue without tipping him off. We'll have more on this story as events warrant!
