I loved seeing so many families come out to enjoy a morning of fishing in Watertown. Stocking this lake with bass brought plenty of excitement to both kids and adults. Larry and Kevin Robling may have been just as excited as the kids!

Sunday afternoon rodeo is the best when the weather is perfect, and you can see some family like a grandbaby, or a son and his wife on their anniversary, some cowboys we’re friends with, and the possibility of seeing our daughter-in-law for the last time before giving birth to their second daughter.💖

Getting outside, staying active, and spending time together are all important for a healthy lifestyle, and I’d love to see you there. Bring a friend and come walk with us!

I’ve enjoyed implementing my initiative through school visits focused on cell phone use, recognizing outstanding South Dakotans through the Rising Star Awards, and bringing together trailblazing leaders to mentor and influence young trendsetters. Together, we are building an even better South Dakota.

It was an honor to attend the National Governors Association First Spouses Retreat in Maryland. I’m grateful for the opportunity to connect with fellow First Spouses and share ideas on how we can continue supporting strong, healthy communities.

We also visited the Boys & Girls Club in Baltimore, where I saw firsthand the meaningful impact mentorship and supportive programs are having on young people. Thank you First Lady Moore for hosting us!
