R.Taylor30 min ago
Fort Pierre's Annual Christmas Tree Lighting and Wagon Roundup will be held Nov. 29, 2024.

Wagon rides and chili/soup tasting will occur simultaneously from 4-6pm CT at the Community Youth Involved Center. People will be able to eat while they are waiting for a ride or vice versa. A free will donation is taken at the cook-off to assist town residents who are struggling to pay their heating bills.

Christmas caroling will take place at 6pm. Area youth are invited to participate. DRG Media Group's Dakota Cruiser will play music during the wagon rides and Santa will appear. The switch to light the tree will be thrown at 6:30pm CT.

This year's tree was donated by Jim and Kathy Pietz of Pierre. A-G-E Corporation will cut down the tree and move it into place Nov. 25.
