Caring community and collaboration

BROOKINGS – After nearly a decade and a half, the Family Back2School Project continues to show Brookings at its best as a caring community. On Aug. 12, more than 532 pre-registered and 35 walk-in junior K-12 students living in Brookings County walked through the doors of Faith Reformed Church. They left outfitted – for free – with the school supplies needed for heading into the classroom later this fall. Also given out were dental care kits and hygiene products. The students came from the Brookings, Deubrook, Elkton and Sioux Valley school districts.

Elkton Harvest Festival still a go without carnival

BROOKINGS – “The carnival people are not coming,” was the word from David McMahon, president of the Elkton Harvest Festival Committee last week. But the festival will go on with a mix of both traditional and new offerings, with community residents stepping up to add to the fun.
