Stuff to do: May 19-25

  • Fish and hike for free. It's free fishing weekend at all of the state parks in South Dakota – which means no license is required to fish (but regulations and limits still apply). There's also free admission to all state parks all weekend.
  • Cheer on runners. The annual Sioux Falls Skedaddle half marathon takes place starting 7 a.m. Sunday. The race starts at Family Park and ends in Fawick Park, and here's a map of the route so you can cheer on runners all along the way.
  • Talk mental health. The South Dakota chapter of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention and the Helpline Center are teaming up for a Mental Health Fair from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday at the Levitt at the Falls.
  • Catch some comedy. Monk's Ale House is hosting a comedy night starting at 7 p.m. Sunday. Details here.
  • Shop with your pups. Local boutiques are teaming up for a "pup crawl" where you can bring your dog along while shopping. Get a special shopping card initialed by all five participating businesses and you'll be entered to win prizes. Details here.
