Flashback Friday: Parading Pets around Phillips Avenue
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) – We've been telling you about several different events over the month of June that'll get families out of the house and hitting the streets and parks all around Downtown Sioux Falls. Mitchell residents against Davison County prison site In this week's Flashback Friday, we're going all the way back to 1968 where Keloland's Bill Severtson shows us how a group of kids spent their summer Saturday morning parading their pets along Phillips Avenue. Some mighty unusual traffic moved the wrong way on a one way street in downtown Sioux falls this morning. The slow moving travelers included horses, dogs, cats, hamsters, a fox, and two geese, all in all about 75 assorted refugees from Noah's Ark. Accompanied by 100 young human type companions. It was the annual county pet parade sponsored by the Minnehaha County Sheriff's Office and the Sioux Empire Kennel Club. Trophies were awarded Sammy Brett of Sioux Falls for the best decorated float and Richard Mathiesen of Renner for the child with a pet coming the longest distance. And Laurie Blount most unusual pet, a very friendly gray fox. Ribbons were given for just about every category imaginable and everybody went home convinced that their pet was the best in the whole wide world. Bill Severtson, KELOLAND News.

Meet the 2025 Miss South Dakota winner
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) — Just a year and a half ago, Jamee Kattner had never considered being in a pageant before. But then, a group of students mistook her for the then-Miss South Dakota. A few months later, following Kattner's voice recital, multiple people suggested she compete for the title. Man identified in fatal Monday I-90 crash 'Then I thought, well, that has to be more than a coincidence for more than one person to bring this up to me in the span of six months. And so I decided to take a leap of faith and jump into the organization,' said 2025 Miss South Dakota winner Jamee Kattner. And just this past week, Kattner won the statewide pageant- something she didn't see coming. 'Complete and utter shock. I think everyone thinks it can be them. But until you're down to that final two moment, I mean, I can't even truly remember what actually happened,' said Kattner. Now, she has three months to prepare for the Miss America competition. 'The first three days have been a whirlwind, and I'm assuming that's what these next three months will be like. A whirlwind. But yet I'm still so grateful for this opportunity,' said Kattner. For the next year, Kattner will represent South Dakota using her community service initiative, Melodies of Joy: Music's Power to Inspire. 'I'm constantly going into community spaces, EmBe programs, Boys & Girls clubs, schools, nursing homes, and spreading the joy and love of music that I have and giving that gift to others. I think the biggest impact that someone can make is service and having a servant heart,' said Kattner. First look at the Frank Olson indoor rec center Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

Pickleball, yoga among activities at downtown event
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) — A summer series in downtown Sioux Falls is opening the streets to pedestrians. The event launched in May and will happen during First Fridays through August. A mother's message after loss The sound of pickleball will be coming to a stretch of Phillips Avenue this week. Remedy Pickleball Pub will offer a pop-up pickleball court Friday night in the Raven parking lot. 'We'll have it taped off with the lines and nets out and some loaner paddles and balls and just have the opportunity to come an play and learn the game a little bit,' Remedy Pickleball Manager Geneva Olson said. The pop-up court is one of many activities at this month's Open Streets event happening on Phillips Avenue between 6th and 7th streets. The June event is all about wellness. 'Put on your shorts and your T-shirts. We're going to be doing crossfit, we're going to be doing yoga. There's actually going to be a monster truck here, which is not really wellness related, just fun. There's going to be face painting, kids activities, Parks and Rec will be coming out with their mobile rec unit,' Downtown Sioux Falls CEO Brandon Hanson said. Hanson says the events are designed to bring people together, drive foot traffic to businesses, and inform future development. 'This is pretty underdeveloped. If you have ever walked in this stretch of Phillips Avenue, there's not retail, there's not food and beverage. It's really kind of this desert in downtown and we want to show that it doesn't have to be that way, and there's future projects that are being talked about in these blocks, so what does it look like when we fill it with people and design it to be people first?' Hanson said. And pickleball is just one of the reasons you may want to check it out. 'You can be 70 and play this game and you can be 15 and play this game and have fun. And so it's really an awesome opportunity for people to get out and get moving. Be social,' Olson said. The Open Streets events are put on by DTSF and AARP South Dakota. It runs from 5 p.m. – 8 p.m. That portion of Phillips will be closed to drivers starting around 4 p.m. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
