    New memories were made and old traditions honored as more than 20 horse-drawn wagons and hundreds of participants united in Jerauld County to take part in the Kyle Evans Memorial Wagon Train. After a two-day adventure across the prairie, the clickety-clack of horse teams pulling wagons met folks in town aiming to greet riders and celebrate the western way of life.
