Pickle on the Prairie, Pickleball Tournament to be

Pickle on the Prairie, Pickleball Tournament to benefit the Dacotah Prairie Museum Foundation, June 10, 2023, 8am-4pm at the Holum Expo.

Enter at the link in our bio.

It’s Pickle on the Prairie! Aberdeen’s inaugural pickleball tournament to benefit the Dacotah Prairie Museum Foundation. If you already play pickleball or if you are “pickle-curious” and want to know more about the sport, join the Aberdeen players as they have fun and raise money for the Dacotah Prairie Museum. Pickleball players are eager to share their love of the sport and bring more people into area clubs.

Are you "pickle-curious?" A special session will be held for those interested in trying the sport from 9-11am. Register onsite for this portion. $10 per person. An experienced player will be on hand with equipment to show you the basics.

Players will register as an individual according to their skill level. Competition will be pool play, meaning it will be a social mixer of players within a flight. (A "flight" is a division or grouping of players within the tournament, who are competing against one another rather than against the entire field of players.)

LIMITED REGISTRATION SPOTS AVAILABLE. REGISTER NOW!
REGISTRATION ENDS JUNE 3 OR SOONER IF MAX PLAYERS REGISTER.

ALL SKILL LEVELS WELCOME!

Once registration closes, players will be assigned sessions and notified via email with a complete tournament schedule.

Complimentary box lunch and giveaway bag with registration.

Call the Dacotah Prairie Museum (DPM) with any questions, (605) 626-7117.

Today is the day - Let's Celebrate!

The Aberdeen Area Convention & Visitors Bureau is celebrating National Travel and Tourism Week (NTTW) May 7-13 and you’re invited!

During lunch time on May 12, Dempsey's Proper Hot Dog Co. Aberdeen SD will be on Malchow Plaza with its world-famous hot dogs for sale. The Aberdeen Area Convention & Visitors Bureau will be handing out FUN Book coupons at that time.

Enjoy a free, one-night-only showing of the 1983 classic National Lampoon’s Vacation” on Friday, May 12 at the historic Capitol Cinema in downtown Aberdeen. Doors open at 6:30 p.m., with the movie starting at 7:30 p.m. The movie is free, but seating is limited to the capacity of the Capitol’s main theatre.

Both National Travel and Tourism Week and “Vacation” are celebrating a 40-year anniversary this year.

National Travel and Tourism Week is observed in May each year. The week was first established in 1983 by the U.S. Travel Association to mark the U.S. travel industry’s impact in America.
Because most visitors take road trips to Aberdeen, we couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate the American tradition than with a showing of “National Lampoon’s Vacation,” which premiered to audiences on July 29, 1983.

The CVB has partnered with the Capitol Cinema to give the audience an authentic 1983 experience. “Vacation” played at the theater in September of 1983. The audience is encouraged to dress up as their favorite characters from the movie.

As we’re gearing up for the 2023 summer vacation season, the CVB would like to thank all our travel partners – from lodging and attractions to restaurants and media – Aberdeen wouldn’t be the great vacation destination it is without you!

To find out more about planning the perfect summer getaway, head to www.VisitAberdeenSD.com.
