Stephanie Supporters Rocked the 4th of July Weekend!


For everyone involved, we wanted to thank you for your help and support over the 4th of July weekend. You created a wonderful holiday for Stephanie during her time in the hills. There were many people welcoming Stephanie at the Heritage Festival, visiting with her around the hills, watching her speech at Mt. Rushmore, and walking with her in parades.


At the Heritage Festival, Stephanie visited with many constituents and even a few members of our local music scene. The two Johns (from The Redmen and Common Law Love) were able to spend a few moments talking at the Civic Center Bandshell. Stephanie also visited with the evening’s main entertainment – K.O.D. From there it was straight off to Mt. Rushmore where Stephanie was able to be a part of one of our nation’s greatest fireworks displays. She gave a speech honoring World War I Veteran Frank Buckles. As usual, it proved to be a spectacular event.


All the communities in the Northern Black Hills showed strong support for Stephanie on the 4th, and the organizers of all the parades and events kept the weekend moving smoothly. This was especially impressive at the Belle Fourche parade that had over 250 entries! Stephanie rode in style thanks to the volunteers who drove her through the parades. Ron Pitman took the wheels in Belle, Rosalie Aslesen navigated the Spearfish parade, and Bill Walsh took over in Lead/Deadwood.


Thanks for the support!! Stephanie really enjoyed visiting the Hills once again and thanks to everyone for spending time with her. Let's keep it going until November. If you missed the fun over the weekend, there are plenty more events and ways to get involved. Take a moment on your lunch break or when you’re in Rapid for your errands to stop by the campaign office to say hello.
