• The Link serving lots of out-of-staters. About 44% of people served by The Link triage center are not from Sioux Falls, according to Jason Lemke, the project manager for The Link, who presented to the Minnehaha County Commission this week. But funding is coming almost entirely from Sioux Falls-area entities and local governments. The Dakota Scout has the full story.
  • Downtown Halloween fun. The city parks department is hosting a number of Halloween activities at a Sioux Spooktacular event (which, by the way, feels like a missed opportunity to be called BOO Falls, but I digress). Activities include a Spooktacular skeletons display that'll be up through Nov. 1, a skate party from 6 to 8 p.m. Friday, a "Trail or Treat" from 5 to 8 p.m. Saturday at Lloyd Landing and a Pumpkin Trot from 1 to 4 p.m. Sunday (registration required for the trot). Learn more about all of these seasonal events on The Falls' website.
  • High-tech skiing. Great Bear this week announced new RFID ticketing, which will let skiers and snowboarders hit the slopes without stopping at guest services to print a daily lift ticket. Meanwhile, Great Bear also has a sale on season passes for folks who buy early, and they're gearing up for the annual Winter Fest event on Nov. 7. Find more details on that here.
