While on the air on Thursday morning, Darrin Smith, director of Sioux Falls Community Development had some exciting news!

"The official Ribbon Cutting," Darrin told me, "the first major event at the Denny Sanford Premier Center---that will take place on Friday at 4:30 p.m.  That in itself is a fairly brief program...a formal ceremony where speakers, including the Mayor, will address the group.  The big thing for the public after that is until around 9 p.m., there will be live entertainment of all kinds.  It is a variety of music and entertainers---everything from Hip Hop music to people playing Kazoos!"

On Saturday, from 1 to 8 p.m, Darrin says the public will be able to walk throughout the venue and enjoy discounted food selections from the concession stands, free entertainment, activities for the kids and much more!
