• Check out some art. And celebrate artists of all abilities on Friday evening at the 13th annual ArtAbility Art Show at The Underground by Rehfeld's. Hosted by the city Disability Awareness & Accessibility Review Board, ArtAbility is an opportunity to showcase artwork as a means of self-expression – specifically for artists with disabilities. Details here.
  • Check out some films. The Great Outdoor Store and the State Theatre are teaming up to bring the Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour to Sioux Falls. With two days of adrenaline-fueled outdoor adventure films, your ticket also supports Falls Area Single Track. Get the details and tickets here.
  • Thank you for being a friend. It's Golden Girls night this Thursday at The Social featuring performances from dueling piano group Dueling Duo. Tickets also include a a true Italian meal in honor of Sophia, served by Bluestem Catering Co., followed by delicious cheesecake and lively conversation. Details and tickets here.
  • We all scream for ice cream runs. The Sioux Falls Area Running Club is mixing dairy and long runs for what I can only assume is a fun (and also maybe barf-y) time. Runners will stop at six different B&G Milkyway locations along the 22-mile route. If anyone does this without barfing, please contact me, and I'll give you some SF Simplified swag for your accomplishment. Details here.
  • Buy some records. It's Record Store Day on Saturday, and you know Total Drag is celebrating with tons of RSD exclusives – and free donuts. Check it out here.
  • Shop local art, support local causes. ReCreate by Zenith is hosting an art show and supply drive from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday at Falls Overlook Cafe. Bring supplies like paper towels, laundry soap, tissues, toilet paper and more to donate to Uniquely Yours, and while you're there, shop a variety of local vendors. Details here.
  • Support school lunches. South Dakota students who qualify for reduced-price lunches will no longer have to pay for meals at school thanks to legislation from Rep. Kadyn Wittman that Gov. Larry Rhoden signed into law last month. The Barrel House and Hungry Hearts Foundation are teaming up to host an event Thursday evening to celebrate. Details here.
