Families enjoyed the afternoon with activities such as bounce house, obstacle course, "book walk," tattoos, beading, plinko, and numerous other activities.
Tricia Johnson, the Current Mrs. South Dakota International from Gayville, helped children plant flowers at one of the activity booths. She will go to Chicago in July to the Mrs. International Pageant which promotes today's married women, their accomplishments, and commitment to family and marriage.
