It was a pleasure to attend the Visit Spearfish Annual Celebration 2026.
The morning program included staff introductions, annual reports, and recognition of individuals and organizations that have made a lasting impact on tourism and our community.
Congratulations to this year's award recipients:

𝗙𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝗩𝗶𝘀𝗶𝘁 𝗦𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗳𝗶𝘀𝗵– Nicky Winterstein, Athletic Director at Black Hills State University Athletics
𝗧𝗶𝗽 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱– D.C. Booth Historic National Fish Hatchery and Archives

This celebration also marked a special milestone as it was the final annual event led by Mistie Caldwell, Executive Director of Visit Spearfish, before her departure.
In recognition of her vision, leadership, and dedication to Spearfish tourism since 2009, Mistie was presented with an At One (Black Hills) Termesphere Gallery Snap Sphere. Her years of service have helped elevate Spearfish as a premier destination and have left a lasting impact on our community.
Thank you, Mistie, for your commitment, passion, and outstanding service!

I was invited by Lawrence County Conservation District to attend a political social and annual meeting this afternoon.
Conservation in the Black Hills balances heavy recreational use, forestry, and wildlife preservation. Key initiatives focus on stream restoration, wildfire mitigation, and protecting the region's diverse prairie-forest ecosystems.
