Hill City Prevailer

The Hill City Quilt and Fiber Arts Show was once again a huge success with organizers saying about 800 people came to the Gins Gym Saturday alone.

The show boasted so many entries this year organizers had to get creative on where to display the quilts that could be seen in virtually every nook and cranny of the space. In total, 456 quilts and 100 fiber arts displays were featured this year, with Best in Show in the quilt category  entitled, “Annalise My Vintage Rose,” going to Kristie Evans, a new Custer resident and new member of the Heart of the Hills Quilt Guild.

On Sept. 12, with the crack of a whip, the second annual Buffalo 50 mountain bike race will send cyclists sprinting from Granite Sports into the rugged terrain of the Black Hills where 50 miles of dirt, rock, climbs and descents will await those brave enough to take on the challenge. 

“You aren’t just signing up for a bike race—you are stepping into a raw, rugged endurance playground,” according to organizer John Richards’ ‘The Ultimate Adventurer’s Guide to the Buffalo 50.’
