Nov 15 - Dec 10, 2024
Rapid City, the City of Presidents, has lifesize bronze statues of all the presidents through Barack Obama. Well, they did put President Taft on a bit of a diet. The statue of Donald Trump, which was ready, will be installed two years after the end of his upcoming term. As the visitor center representative said, the statues are history, not current politics.
Anyway, between November 15th and March 15th of each year, people are invited to adorn the presidents with hats, scarves, gloves, and other winter gear for those in need. Those who need simply take what they need. This fun winter tradition is now in its 10th year. We love it, and even made our own contributions. Bonus if you can identify the president. : )
What a great tradition! I hope ya'll are having a great holiday season. :-) Matt O
