Celebrating a quarter-century

Published by admin on Thu, 07/29/2021 - 10:28am
Sarah Rogers has been showing her art at Warrior’s Work & Ben West Gallery since the beginning of the gallery’s  25 year existence. And while most people would think a quarter century relationship would be fraught with ups and downs, Rogers claims “we haven’t had any downs.” 
Rogers, like every artist celebrating the gallery’s 25 year history, describes the owners, Randy Berger and Janna Emmel, as wonderful people.
“They take such good care of me. It’s been an amazing 25 years,” she said.

Lady riders rumble into Keystone

Published by admin on Thu, 07/22/2021 - 10:05am

The seventh annual Deadwood Three Wheeler Rally made a pit stop in Keystone July 13. About 60 trikes made their way into town.
Keystone Chamber of Commerce director Robin Pladson worked with rally organizer Theresa Schanzenbach  to bring the riders to Keystone. Pladson also organized swag bags for attendees.
“The bags were taken up on Friday and riders received them when they registered,” said Pladson.
The Keystone stop was a “ladies only” ride to ride and shop. Many like Darla Sorrells of Arlington, Texas, were first time visitors to Keystone.

‘I love you, you’re perfect’ is perfect

Published by admin on Thu, 07/15/2021 - 9:01am

The Black Hills Playhouse’s second summer show, “I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change” is a hilarious intimate show that  delves into the intricacies of men and women as they navigate dating, marriage and relationships after divorce or the death of a spouse. Billed as a musical revue, the lyrics are witty, if not at times so accurate, as to leave you hysterically laughing.

Dozens of tents sprouted up like mushrooms last Tuesday at Trailside Park Resort  Campground on the south side of Hill City supported by a fleet of trucks, trailers, busses and staff which temporarily transformed the campground into a military-like encampment. By 8:30 the next morning the tent city and most of the other equipment were gone.

Wonderettes lead marvelous BHP return

Published by admin on Thu, 07/01/2021 - 9:00am

After last year’s COVID-19 blackout, “The Marvelous Wonderettes,” which opened Friday night, was the perfect show to launch the return of the Black Hills Playhouse (BHP) for its diamond jubilee season. The feel-good nostalgic music and plenty of laugh-out-loud comedy was just the right mix for the theater’s—and the nation’s—much-needed return to live entertainment. There is much to say about this delightful production, but first let’s talk about the changes made at the Playhouse itself for this unique restart season.
