Working on our event for the 4th of July
A few weeks after our event... the 87th Annual Sioux Empire Fair/W.H. Lyon Fairgrounds

As we celebrate the 250th anniversary of our country, we want to make sure that the Sioux Falls Independence Day Parade will never go away again.
To help ensure the financial future of the Sioux Falls Independence Day Parade for years to come, we are launching the "250 for 250 Club": an exclusive group of 250 founding members supporting the parade.
Each member makes a one-time $250 contribution to create a fund that will act as a cushion for future parade operational expenses. While sponsorships and donations will continue to be rigorously pursued each year, this fund will make sure that the Sioux Falls Independence Day Parade will never be cancelled for lack of funds.
Our 250 for 250 Club Members will receive a commemorative certificate, and their name(s) and/or organization will be listed on our website and social media pages.
Multiple spots in the club can be purchased by a single individual or organization, and public recognition for your generous donation is optional.

We're going to do another EARLY BIRD DRAWING this Thursday evening at Billy Frogs Bar and Grill - Sioux Falls. You can win a $50 gift card... or if you're present... win a $50 gift card AND $50 cash!

You still have time to get a ticket at www.SiouxFallsFireworks.org
This week's winner also stay in the drawing for the actual 50-50 Jackpot later this month.

Get your tickets and join me for dinner and a show Thursday night!

03/07/2026

It's fun to watch that 50-50 jackpot GROW every time someone buys a ticket... 10 tickets for $10... or 200 tickets for $100!
This is connected to several other nonprofits through Dakota Jackpots... Darrel Kluge set this up to help nonprofits raise money here in SD.
A similar group in Canada is giving away HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS in their drawings.... this is brand new here, but I absolutely believe it will grow to that. I'm going to be doing some smaller "early bird" drawings each Thursday night at our comedy event at Billy Frogs Bar and Grill - Sioux Falls.
I would love to see this jackpot grow to THOUSANDS before the first official drawing at the end of this month.... and even MORE by the 4th of July.

We're 4 months away from the 4th of July... EXCITED FOR America's 250th... Sioux Falls Fireworks will be TWICE as big this year.... all of the fireworks we planned for last year (dang rain) and all of the fireworks we're planning for this year. TWICE THE SHOW... we might even start the event an hour early (that is in the works... stay tuned)

I'd absolutely love to add some additional sponsors for this ONCE-IN-MY-LIFETIME event! I was a baby in 1976 (for the 200th) and in 2076 I'd be 101... so I'm probably not gonna make it!

If your business (or family) would like to be a sponsor for the event this year, there is a link to donate online at www.SiouxFallsFireworks.org and I'm also happy to meet up with you to visit about ways you can help... here is a page with some options... but this is not the only way. Let's visit!

Six America 250 Grants have been awarded by MC DAR Foundation in the first round of applications. America 250 Grants are offered as a new, limited-time grant program awarded in amounts of up to $2,500 in matching funds for an event, project or patriotic program that celebrates the nation's 250th birthday.
The America 250 Grant is available to non-profit and publicly-funded organizations anywhere in South Dakota. (January 5, 2026 is the deadline for the next round of grant applications.)

1) Sioux Falls Fireworks and Community Events: $2,500 - "The World's Largest Declaration of Independence" - Creation of a large portable copy of the Declaration of Independence (8 feet wide by 10 feet tall) and a companion piece with the images of each signer and their name and information about them. It will be displayed at the free Fourth of July Fireworks show at the WH Lyon Fairgrounds.
