The Black Hills Stock Show opens today at the Rapid City Civic Center. If you have never been to this event before, it really is a must-see Black Hills area attraction. There is truly something for everyone - nightly rodeos, livestock auctions, vendors selling anything from food to clothing and jewelry to livestock equipment, a petting zoo for kids and the young at heart, a quilt show, and special appearances by Miss Rodeo South Dakota and the Budweiser Clydesdales - just to name a few. The Black Hills Stock Show is one of the largest events the Rapid City Civic Center hosts each year and one of the largest stock shows in the country. Even if you aren’t a self-proclaimed cowboy or cowgirl, find a time to check it out between today and February 8th. You won’t be sorry you did!
