South Dakota Pheasantennial: 100 Years of Tradition
The South Dakota Office of Tourism is gearing up for the fall season with a new promotion to honor 100 years since the successful introduction of the pheasant in the state. The Office encourages communities in “pheasant country” to get involved by developing their own unique promotion or celebration. Details for the state promotion are still being developed, but those who are interested can visit www.SDVisit.com for periodic updates. Please contact the Media and Public Relations team at (605) 773-3301 or Wanda.Goodman@state.sd.us for additional information.
