Gov. Rounds announces Spearfish Capital for a Day
PIERRE, S.D. – Gov. Mike Rounds announced today that he plans to visit Spearfish on Wednesday, May 17, 2006, during his 2006 Capital for a Day tour.
“Capital for a Day brings government to the people,” said Gov. Mike Rounds. “Those who are unable to travel to Pierre on a regular basis have an opportunity to discuss their issues with the different agencies. It also gives state employees a chance to learn more about activities in the regions. I’m looking forward to visiting the Spearfish community and learning about topics important to the people living there.”
“Capital for a Day is a fantastic opportunity to personally interact with our elected officials and government,” said Mayor Jerry Krambeck. “All Spearfish citizens should mark May 17 on their calendars. Adults, children and students should plan to participate in the activities as the business of state government is conducted in our community,” Krambeck said.
A complete agenda will be released at a later time.
In 2006, Gov. Rounds and his staff, cabinet, and agencies also plan to visit the following communities:
April: Madison
June: Huron
July: Custer
August: Sioux Falls
September: Watertown
From 2003 to 2005, Gov. Rounds and his team visited 17 communities in South Dakota:

Wessington Springs
Lemmon
Aberdeen
Hot Springs
