Woofstock 2024 Will Be A Howling Good Time!

Okay, so there might not be a lot of howling, but there might be a lot of yapping going on. Of course, that would be all the humans chatting about the cute pups and the great music, food, and beer that have become the hallmarks of Woofstock.

It is being hosted again this year by Dakota Dachshund Rescue (DDR) and Remedy Brewing Company.

Dakota Dachshund Rescue is an all-volunteer organization consisting of a small group of wiener dog lovers. Their mission is to rescue and rehome abused, abandoned, and unwanted Dachshunds.

All of the dogs they take in receive medical and behavioral care. They also make a strong effort to educate potential adopters not only about the Dachshund breed (and others), but also about the responsibilities of pet ownership, the need to spay and neuter their dogs, and the prevention of animal cruelty.

This level of dedication needs support and that is the reason for "Woofstock 2024!" If you think this celebration is about beer, music, and dogs, you're barking up the right tree!

Saturday, August 17, at Remedy Brewing Company (401 East 8th Street) in downtown Sioux Falls, from 1 to 5 PM, there will be a lot to see and do! Bring your family, because kids and pets are welcome. (Make sure your fur kid is on a leash).

There will be live music, unique vendors, raffle baskets, Woofstock t-shirts, and other merchandise too.

The best part of Woofstock is getting to meet the dachshunds, dachshund mixes, and dachshund wannabees looking for their "furever" homes. Check out all the available pups at the Dakota Dachshund Rescue website.

All funds raised will go to Dakota Dachshund Rescue's Medical Fund.

Food Network Shows That Have Been To South Dakota

Living here in the upper Midwest we don't end up on national TV shows very often. That's probably a good thing in the long run.

But it is pretty cool when something from South Dakota is on TV. Three shows from the Food Network family of shows have showcased South Dakota restaurants.

You may remember when Guy Fieri and Diners Drive-ins and Dives was in Sioux Falls in June of 2020 to visit some of our city's unique establishments.

A few years ago the Travel Channel Show Food Paradise visited Deadwood.

If you remember the 'golden age' of Foot Network, back when Rachel Ray was the queen of the channel, she took her show $40 a Day to Rapid City in 2005.
