Gov. Rhoden to Visit Aberdeen and Mobridge on Open for Opportunity Tour

PIERRE, S.D. – Tomorrow, Governor Larry Rhoden will bring his Open for Opportunity Tour to Aberdeen and Mobridge.

Governor Rhoden continues to engage in meaningful conversations with South Dakotans across the state. He encourages local leaders and community members to join him for coffee at Great Plains Restaurant in Mobridge at 10:00 am CT.

Next, Governor Rhoden will head to Aberdeen. He will visit the Richmond Dam. Investing in public infrastructure like the Richmond Dam is important for both safety and recreation – yet another example of how he is keeping South Dakota Open for Opportunity.

Governor Rhoden will also visit SMACK Pet Food, which moved to South Dakota from Canada due to the Noem-Rhoden Administration's commonsense decisions during the pandemic.

Governor Rhoden will wrap up the day by encouraging the next generation of leaders to seek opportunities at Boys State. While there, he will interview with Boy State’s Journalism City and spend time with other media outlets in attendance.
