Dairy Farmers Invite Public to "Be Our Guest" at Sawyer Brown Concert to Benefit Feeding South Dakota - March 27th

Posted: 2/16/2012

What:  Local dairy farm families are inviting the public to "Be Our Guest" at a concert by country music artist Sawyer Brown.  The event will benefit Feeding South Dakota.                                

How:  People can simply donate $10 to Feeding South Dakota and receive a concert ticket.  Feeding South Dakota will use donations to purchase nutritious dairy foods for food pantries across the state.

When:  The concert will be held at 7pm on March 27, 2012, at the Sioux Falls Arena.  The concert is part of the annual Central Plains Dairy Expo.
Donations will be accepted starting Feb. 18 through the concert.

Where: Donations are accepted at Hy-Vee locations in Sioux Falls, Lewis Drug locations in Sioux Falls, Brandon, Brookings, Huron,  and Madison, and First Bank & Trust locations in Sioux Falls and Canton.

Why: Feeding South Dakota serves about 500 hunger relief and emergency food distribution sites throughout the state.  These agencies received more than 12 million pounds of food and grocery items from Feeding South Dakota in 2011.  Due to the perishable nature of dairy products, it is difficult for Feeding South Dakota to keep them in stock.  Donations from the "Be Our Guest" concert will allow Feeding South Dakota to purchase dairy foods to meet demands.    

 Please note:   Ticket quantities are limited and tickets are only available through a donation to Feeding South Dakota.

Tickets are non-refundable and not for resale. 

All seats are general admission for the balcony area. Seating will be first-come, first-serve.  Doors open at 6:30 p.m.
