Monday August 14, 2017, 8 Red Hat ladies left to go to Good Earth State Park. James Henning, park manger, took us down the Vista Loop trail telling us how Blood Run National Historic Landmark was established in 1970 in recognition of the large American Indian trade center and ceremonial site that flourished there between 1500-1700 A.D. At the end of the trail at the overlook we could see Iowa. When we got back to the lodge we had a movie on the history of the park and saw articles collected from that area. The park was designated South Dakota’s 13th State Park in 2013. After that we went to Jacky’s Restuarant in Sioux Falls on 10th St. for our lunch which was enjoyed by all. Those that went and enjoyed the day were, Margie Martens, Mary Dorsman, Mary's cousin, Gevena Skorr, Dorothy Sorenson, Julie Hight, Bernice Semmen, and Marg Maschino. – Submitted by Julie Hight
