State Parties – February 2024

Dakotas and Nebraska Roundup 2024 Set for March 2

Mark your calendars now for the 20th Annual Dakotas and Nebraska Roundup on Saturday, March 2, from 4 to 6:30 p.m. on the SunBird patio. SunBird residents who have lived in the Dakotas or Nebraska, along with their friends, are invited. Tickets cost $5 plus a dish for eight to share.

The potluck-on-the-patio fun will begin with a social hour at 4 p.m. (BYOB). Water, ice, and dinnerware will be provided. There will be music to enjoy! The potluck supper will begin around 4:30 p.m.

We know that there are lots of fabulous cooks from the Dakotas and Nebraska, so we are asking everyone to bring a dish to share. Last names A—J, please bring a salad; last names K—R, please bring a hot dish; and last names S—Z, please bring a dessert.

Tickets will be sold at the clubhouse on Feb. 3 from 8 a.m. to noon.

Would you be willing to assist the committee? We would love a representative or two from South Dakota.
