A snow plow cleared a path through the wintry mix of snow and freezing rain that had accumulated along Highway 34 and Dakota Avenue south of Wessington Springs Monday. While travelers might not appreciate the precipitation, community New Year’s Eve fireworks organizers welcomed the moisture that prompted Jerauld County Commissioners to lift the burn ban in place since October. With that obstacle removed and enough moisture on the ground to avoid any fire danger, the show is officially a “go” at 6 p.m.
Two riders can be seen entering Wessington Springs from the SD Highway 34-Dakota Avenue junction.

She will use the funds to further her eduction in various aspects of flower care. She is shown above earlier this year at her family’s Jerauld County flower farm during a “Dahlias and Donuts” event.
