• The mayor's Eras Tour. Mayor Paul TenHaken gave his eighth and final State of the City address Monday afternoon – recapping the highs and lows of the last eight years under his leadership, how the city has changed, major weather events, surviving the pandemic, growing, adding new parks and seeing more than $79 million in private donations to support various city projects.
  • His recap also featured several of his own iPhone photos from his tenure – and an incredible mustachioed headshot from soon-to-retire Planning Director Jeff Eckhoff.
  • The community turned out to send the mayor off in style in a packed-full ballroom at the Canopy hotel downtown. Attendees included Gov. Larry Rhoden, Attorney General Marty Jackley, representatives from the South Dakota Congressional delegation and a number of public officials from state, county and city government.
