Presented to
Midwest Living Magazine
Governor Mike Rounds presents the 2006 A.H. Pankow Award
to Melissa Lubbe of Midwest Living magazine and
Bob Purdy of Meredith Travel Marketing.
The A.H. Pankow Award recognizes a member of the media whose coverage and
promotion of the state’s visitor industry is unparalleled.
Midwest Living magazine has a circulation of nearly one million readers
each month. That means on more than one occasion in 2005, a million potential
visitors read about travel opportunities in South Dakota.
Midwest Living told South Dakota’s story by showcasing our attractions
and activities, such as fly fishing Spearfish Canyon, and pheasant hunting on
the prairie. This third-party endorsement of South Dakota is priceless, and
resulted in a lasting impression on the visitor industry.
Midwest Living is on the top when it comes to design, editorial and
overall quality of a publication. Whether it’s editorial about South Dakota or
an advertisement that is placed in the magazine, South Dakota always receives
numerous inquiries as a result.
The magazine is given the A.H. Pankow Award for their contributions to South
Dakota and the relationship the Office of Tourism has with them.
