LETTER FROM THE PUBLISHER Alana Snyder AT THE HAUNTED FARM IN WORTHING.
PUBLISHER Alana Snyder DIRECTOR OF SALES AND MARKETING John Snyder ART DIRECTOR Liz Painter PUBLISHING COPY-EDITOR Denise DePaolo WRITERS Monica Albers Andrea Conover Tracy Kirby Claudia Miller Yes, I'm that basic girl.
Kelly Nelson
Fall is one of my favorite times of the year. If you know me, I actually never stop wearing sweaters. I could be turning red in the face in 80-degree weather, but I will refuse to remove my denim-sweater combo.
INTERNS
I also love the month of October. There are so many delicious seasonal beers and cocktails, autumn dishes, and activities surrounded by falling leaves (don’t miss our item guide for some of the season’s most popular trends from local businesses).
Jessica Hawk
It’s also time to freak yourself out with scary movies, pay people to chase you, and dress up like whatever you want. 605 was taken on several spooky tours in this issue, including S.D. Haunted Tours, The Haunted Farm, and - our cover story - “Annie’s Room” at The Goss Opera House. The room, which allegedly had a woman named Annie burn alive inside, gave us goosebumps and made it hard to sleep that night. Even better, though, is that we were lucky to have psychic medium Donna O’Dea with us, who had run-ins with several other Goss Opera House spirits, including a former housekeeper and theater-goer. Check out other mysterious stories, like Z*stonish’s “psychological spectacle” Superstitions, and Watertown’s Ghost Town Winery. Also, if you’re reading this issue with a warm, seasonal beverage (that may or may not have alcohol), take a drink every time you read “spooky.” Drink responsibly, and have a spooky October (drink)!

MEET THE Artist RICHARD GREWAR
TYPE OF ARTIST: SINGER & SONGWRITER the songs are inspired by life and the people in my life. Writing is cathartic and a source of therapy, so the more I can peel my own layers away, understand and deal with the experiences that directly affect my being, the more I feel I can be a positive influence on others around me and the community at large. My metric for success has always been measured by making a difference for someone, through a lyric or an emotion delivered by a song. I'VE LIVED IN MANY PLACES, INCLUDING… This is going to make me sound like a bit of a wanderer, but variety is the spice of life, right?! Here goes: Southampton in the U.K. (I was actually born in Southampton and lived there until moving to Australia when I was 9. I moved back there for a short period of time in 2007-08), London, Brisbane, and the Gold Coast in Australia, Las Vegas, San Diego, and now the beautiful Black Hills.
HAILING FROM BRISBANE, AUSTRALIA, SINGER-SONGWRITER RICHARD GREWAR HAS PUT DOWN HIS ROOTS IN HILL CITY. KNOWN AS A BLEND OF ACOUSTIC, ROCK, AND LOOPING, GREWAR RELASED HIS NEWEST ALBUM, COLD FEET, THIS PAST SPRING. HE’S ALSO FOCUSING ON HIS COMPANY, BABYBEATS, WITH HIS WIFE, AMY, WHICH CREATES SONGS USING A MOTHER AND BABY'S HEARTBEATS DURING PREGNANCY. FIND OUT MORE ABOUT THE AUSSIE WHO HAPPENS TO ALSO HAVE AN AUSTRALIAN SHEPHERD, RUBY SUE.
YOU MIGHT KNOW MY WORK FROM… If there are any surfers in the audience, they may know my music from the Kelly Slater movie Letting Go that was released in the late ‘90s. Most recently, a lot of my songs have been featured in promotional videos for the Bruce Lee Foundation, which has been a very cool synergy. Yes, that Bruce Lee. MY NEWEST ALBUM IS ABOUT… The songs on Cold Feet are a direct reflection of my own life experiences from around 2011-2013. Everything from love, death, depression, longing, desire, triumph, joy, family, and anger are explored. In my early songwriting years, I would rely on turmoil to feed the narrative of songs and form ideas based around sadness and angst. Thankfully, in both of my solo albums, Ghosts and Cold Feet, the subject matter has become broader and not reliant on the sad side of life. That comes, in my opinion, with getting older, experiencing more joy, and gaining more of an understanding of my place within the world. MY INSPIRATION COMES FROM… Predominantly

WHAT BROUGHT TO ME TO HILL CITY IS… My wife, Amy, and I found that, although we had access to all the things we needed and loved in Southern California - the ocean, nature, friends, great food - it was near impossible for us to be able to start a family, buy a home, and thrive the way in which we envisioned for the next chapter of our lives in San Diego. Amy’s family is from Rapid City (fun fact: her great-great-grandfather was one of the city’s founders), and still live here, so the Black Hills were a natural fit. Hill City is a charming small town, and we’re very grateful to have our own slice of paradise here. One year on and we’ve discovered that the Hills have everything we need to keep our cups full, and more. MY FAVORITE PART ABOUT SOUTH DAKOTA IS… The landscape and the people. The community, especially the music community, have welcomed me, and us, with open arms. I have yet to encounter a South Dakotan I haven’t been able to get along with. Everyone is genuinely interested in my story and what brought me here, and are happy to share their own stories in return. The Australian accent tends to help, too. The landscape here is so rich and diverse. The Black Hills are a spectacular hidden gem, not only in the Midwest, but in the entire country. We are very lucky to live where we do. WHEN I'M NOT PLAYING MUSIC, I LOVE TO… In recent weeks, I’ve developed the hunger to learn more about the craft of songwriting and production. I’m enjoying the process. Otherwise, I love to surf, paddleboard, kayak, cook, play any kind of sport, travel, hang with my wife, walk the pup, and explore the Hills. MY FAVORITE PLACE TO GRAB A BITE LOCALLY IS… The current faves are Prairie Berry, Harriet & Oak, Que Pasa, and Kōl. I'M VERY EXCITED TO BE WORKING ON… In August, I launched a new company, BabyBeats, which I’m stoked

about. BabyBeats are musical moments and custom keepsakes for expecting parents (baby shower gifts, gender announcements, videos, etc.), using the heartbeat of their baby at the core of the song. I also produce lullabies to encourage babies to sleep, using the heartbeat of their mom. So far, the response has been incredibly encouraging, and I’m very excited to see how the business will develop over the next year. I also produce my wife’s podcast Why Not Now? With Amy Jo Martin, and we’re about to kick off the second season, which is exciting. I would like to start writing new songs in 2018 for another album. We’ll see. AN ALBUM YOU CAN FIND ME PLAYING CONSTANTLY IS… There are a handful of albums that have made a significant difference in my life, that I always go back to. Radiohead’s Hail to the Thief, Ok Computer, and In Rainbows (okay, so all of the Radiohead albums), Soundgarden’s Superunknown, At the Drive-In’s Relationship For Command, and Jeff Buckley’s unfinished album Sketches for My Sweetheart the Drunk, as well as his masterpiece, Grace. IF I WEREN'T DOING THIS, I WOULD BE… On a never-ending search of the planet for the world's greatest chocolate chip cookie. A MOMENT THAT STANDS OUT IN MY MUSIC CAREER IS… I’m very grateful for all the people I’ve met, bands I’ve played with, and places I’ve traveled because of music. The last four years in the U.S. have been an ongoing highlight. FOR MORE INFORMATION, VISIT RICHARDGREWAR.COM OR YOURBABYBEATS.COM.

Ghost Town Winery BY YANY AVELAR
DO YOU HAVE A FAVORITE GHOST TOWN? ENJOY A DIFFERENT (AND DELICIOUS) TYPE OF GHOST THIS MONTH - A GHOST TOWN. THESE DESERTED COMMUNITIES DEVOID OF INHABITANTS ARE THE EERY INSPIRATION BEHIND WATERTOWN CONFECTIONERY’S WINERY. 605 CHATTED WITH GHOST TOWN WINERY OWNER MIKE MAROTZ TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT THE LOCAL VINTAGES THAT AIM TO PRESERVE HISTORY. HOW DID GHOST TOWN WINERY GET STARTED?
MIKE MAROTZ: When deciding on a name for our winery and our wines, we wanted something that corresponded with the state of South Dakota and our roots. Originally, we were actually going to name our wines after lakes and rivers in the state. However, we weren’t sure if we would be able to include the western part as much as we would have liked, since we have many more lakes and rivers on the eastern side. After a little more deliberation, we decided on ghost towns. It was really important for us to preserve history, and in some cases, the roots and the ties we have to these towns. WHEN DECIDING ON WINE NAMES HOW DO YOU PICK A GHOST TOWN?
MM: We love the input of our customers and friends when choosing a new name for a wine. The people that we get to interact with all have different stories, and it’s great to hear from them and their history.
DO YOU DO WINE TASTINGS?
MM: We do! Our wine tastings are like most other wine tastings. We offer you a wine glass as a souvenir, and you're able to select up to five wines of the 15 we have on hand. It’s a fun experience for both small and large groups. However, if you are a group of eight or more, we do recommend calling ahead, so we can provide the best experience for your group. I HEAR YOU CAN ALSO MAKE YOUR OWN WINE AT WATERTOWN CONFECTIONERY?
MM: Yes. This is especially popular for wedding gifts, because you're able to customize the wine and bottle as you would like. Prices for this vary widely, but there is a minimum $50 fee for using the equipment. The time frame can also vary depending on the wine, but it typically takes two trips to the confectionery and five to seven weeks for your wine to be ready. ALONG WITH GHOST TOWN WINERY, WATERTOWN CONFECTIONERY ALSO HAS GOURMET CHOCOLATES, ROASTED COFFEE, AND OTHER GIFTS. FOR MORE INFORMATION VISIT WATERTOWNCONFECTIONERY.NET.
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
PICK YOUR GHOST TOWN
MM: I can’t say that I have a favorite ghost town. However, there are some that are special to me, due to our family ties with the town. One of our wines is named after Grover, which was about eight miles from Watertown. My father grew up in Grover, and my grandfather worked at the old Grover elevator back in the 1920s.
SIP ON ONE OF THESE FAVORITES. + GROVER Grover is one of Ghost Town Winery’s best-selling wines. This deep red wine is made with pomegranate, which gives this wine earthier and spicier notes compared to other wines on the list.
+ TRAVARE
+ ANNIE CREEK
(2015 State Fair Best Seller)
(Marotz’s Personal Favorite)
This pinot grigio is a sweet wine with subtle hints of cranberry. A perfect wine for any occasion, it’s a mix of tart and sweet notes.
This crisp sauvignon blanc is best served well-chilled. With light notes of apple and pear, this wine is sure to please.

MARKETING MANAGER OF MAIN STREET SQUARE & DESTINATION RAPID CITY KARLEE MOORE LOVES LIVING IN THE BLACK HILLS. WHEN SHE’S NOT BUSY PLANNING AND HELPING WITH EVENTS AT WORK, YOU CAN FIND THE MURDO NATIVE OUTSIDE ON A DECK TAKING IN THE VIEWS. READERS GET TO SEE A DAY IN THE LIFE OF THE SOUTH DAKOTA STATE UNIVERSITY GRADUATE (HAPPY HOBO DAY OCTOBER 14). My boyfriend Mike Baumann and I have had a garden the past two years. Last year, I made salsa, marinara, and sweet chili sauce and have had rave reviews. This year we planted a lot of pickling cucumbers and plan to try his grandma's refrigerator dill pickles and my great grandmother's sweet lime pickle recipe. The sweet lime pickles are a staple at all of our family events and dinners. We're new to the canning scene, but we're doing pretty well so far. 2
A lot of my go-to pieces in my closet are from Prairie Chic Boutique [1] in Murdo. One thing I always have with me is my Shinola [2] tote. The tote holds all of my essentials, which always includes a notebook and a paper agenda. I'm a No. 2 pencil and paper kind of girl. I have notebooks and sticky notes all over the place. If I can plan out the next 12 months in a paper agenda, I'm a happy lady. My Shinola goods came from Neugebauer's Fine Jewelry in downtown Rapid City.

Bierbörse [3] (October 7) is one of my favorite events of the year that we throw at Main Street Square. The craft beer scene is blowing up in the Black Hills, and Bierbörse is an amazing opportunity to check out what local breweries are doing. Not to mention, it’s always fun to see the 605 Magazine staff polka dancing in lederhosen outside of their sponsor booth.

One of my favorite things to do is drive the back roads of the Black Hills with Mike and Howie (our Large Münsterländer) looking for trails to hike. Any hike with a view is worth it for us. I like to stop after the hike for beverages at small taverns in the hills, like Rimrock Happy Tavern, the Rochford Bar, the convenience store in Nemo, and Lewie's Burgers & Brews.

I worked on my golf game this past summer at The Golf Club at Red Rock [4]. It could use a lot of work, but I enjoy being out on courses enjoying the beauty of the Black Hills and trying my best to keep up with Mike. I use a generous amount of mulligans. One of my favorite ways to unwind is to grab a cocktail or glass of wine with girlfriends downtown at places like Independent Ale House. The Elks Theatre [5] is great for date night! Buy one-get-one movie and popcorn is on Tuesday nights!

The Wine Cellar [6] restaurant is my favorite for unwinding or a nice dinner. They’re super knowledgeable and can help pick the perfect wine to pair with anything on the menu.

THE HAUNTED FARM BY ANDREA CONOVER

WANDERING AROUND THE RAMBLING PROPERTY OF PAULA BELL, YOU MIGHT THINK YOU’RE ON ANY ORDINARY, SMALL FARM. DUCKS, GEESE, AND KITTENS SCAMPER ABOUT IN THE YARD, AND THE COUNTRY AIR IS FILLED WITH ALL THE EXPECTED SOUNDS AND SCENTS.

Yet, this farm is anything but ordinary. While Bell puts plenty of effort into caring for her animals (she has everything from goats to llamas to turkeys), what the place is best known for is its spooks. Bell moved back to her family acreage just outside of Worthing six years ago with her husband, eager to preserve its function as a working farm. What she found was a money pit. “The whole concept of the family farm is dying,”
said Bell. Her dream is to open a farm attraction where people can get the full experience of seeing the barn, feeding animals, and learning more about life on a farm. Unfortunately, upkeep and repairs require funding. This is where the haunting comes in. Since 2015, Bell has been running the Haunted Barn attraction during the last half of October as a way to make some extra money. She readily admits that haunted houses have almost no effect on her,

step into the barn, you’re transported into a maze of narrow hallways, dark corners, and roughly 10 terrifying scenarios around every turn.
With such a creative mind, developing the Haunted Farm has been somewhat of a breeze for Bell. She collects props and materials at garage sales, finds ideas on Pinterest, and says she can make up to four scary mannequins in a morning.
So what makes Bell’s farm different from any other Halloween attraction?
“I’ll make the mannequins look very real and dress the actors at the farm so they look unreal, so you never know what’s going to jump at you,” she said. The main attraction at the Haunted Farm is the Loft of Lunatics. Once you

“It’s a true scare,” said Bell, who understands that everyone has different fears. “Our actors are observant. They can tell what’s going to get different people … they come out of walls and even the ceiling at times.” Because of this, Bell noted the Haunted Farm is friendly to all ages. “If a little kid is crying, the actors turn around, and they’re done. I’m not in the business of traumatizing children.”
WHERE: $10 FOR NON-SCARY ATTRACTIONS $20 INCLUDES ALL ATTRACTIONS
Still, she said with a grin, “It’s not just for kids - quite a few adults have peed their pants on their way through.” In the hayloft, Bell made note of small details that add extra flair. She pointed out a ramp, saying, “It’s that sort of thing that just throws you off. You lose that familiar feeling.” The eerie décor throughout the barn is either handcrafted or collected. Bell visits garage sales, DIY’s fake blood and gore, and has her right-hand man, Kurt Meyer, to help with the construction and engineering of spooky scenarios, such as vampires swooping overhead, or a mannequin taking axe swings at another’s decapitated body.
Aside from the Loft of Lunatics, visitors can enjoy a spook-free hayride, pet baby farm animals, grab something to eat in the Snack Shack, or, for another dose of fright, make their way through the Dark Trail or the Haunted Forest with even more eerie music and scenarios. “You could easily spend three hours here,” said Bell. Opening on Friday the 13th - ideal timing, of course - the Haunted Farm will run for three full weekends in October, with Halloween as its final night. THE HAUNTED FARM IS FOR ALL AGES.

FOR BREAKFAST, LUNCH, OR COFFEE O LADELLE AND FOURTH COFFEEHOUSE
FOR ENTERTAINMENT OR PRIVATE EVENTS O THE GRAND OPERA HOUSE
Owners Aaron and Amie Delgado opened LaDelle and Fourth Coffee house almost two years ago to have a place for healthier options in Dell Rapids. “I think we’re known for our specials and that we have a very simple menu,” said Aaron. Enjoy breakfast with a Yogurt Parfait, a Breakfast Burrito, or a Croissant sandwich, and have some lunch with items like the Harvest Salad, the Memphis Pork Pita, or a Thai Chicken Wrap. Aaron’s go-to is the Turkey Club, which has a secret sauce (the sauce is also on breakfast sandwiches). A play area is available for families, so kids can keep busy while parents indulge in food or Dark Canyon Coffee. Specials include “Layer Cake Day” on Fridays, Cinnamon Rolls on Saturdays, and Biscuits and Gravy (Aaron’s mom’s secret recipe) the first Saturday of each month. Amie described their clientele: “We know everyone, their favorite drink, the names of their kids. It’s become a big family. It’s like it’s our house and we’re welcoming people all day long.”
Built in 1888, owner Joan Rasmusson has refurbished the historical Grand Opera House of Dell Rapids to its Romanesque Revival splendor. “We bought the building in 2005, and it took four years to renovate the whole thing,” she said. The building still has its original doors, and the original backdrop still hangs from the late 1800s with all of the local businesses of the time displayed on it. Rasmusson said the theater was used for vaudeville, and then in the early 1900s it was used as a silent movie theater. Oddly enough, after that it served as a warehouse, which Rasmusson said kept it in “such good shape.” Now it serves for plays, symphonies, concerts, and dances. Want a unique event? You can rent it for private functions, like weddings. Open for events and by appointment only. DELLRAPIDSGRANDOPERAHOUSE.COM // (605) 321-9789

They’re wonderful people, and this has come back to me tenfold,” she said. Because the business is close to two intersecting interstates, she said that people will make a stop when traveling to places like Minneapolis or the Black Hills. Relax in the antique-styled home that has clawfoot bathtubs and “creativity” in each room. You can rent The Victorian Room, The Peach Blossom Room, Violet’s Room, or The Garden View Room.

AT HOME KARISSA EIFERT
K
TAKING ADVANTAGE OF ALL OF HER WINDOWS, EIFERT HAS MANY HOUSE PLANTS “THAT GROW LIKE CRAZY."
2 6 \\\\\\\\\ O C T O B E R
arissa Eifert is a pattern and color aficionado, and implements this passion with her full service design firm Epiphanie Interiors. When she’s not creating unique and functional spaces, she’s hanging out in her quaint 1940s cottage on the west side of Rapid City with her Golden Retriever, Hooper.
HOME + LIVING
O THE LIVING ROOM As we first entered Eifert’s home, she informed us she rents. “I wasn’t sure how long I would be here, so I haven’t gotten too crazy with my home style quite yet,” she said. The living room is monochromatic with shades of grey in the furniture, walls, and even the throw blanket strewn about the couch. Accents of it come through in the framed artwork and couch pillows, which also showcase her love for pops of color. The star of the that particular room? Yellow. “I think it’s important to have neutrals for your larger pieces, like a solid navy, black, or grey, and then you can bring in your color and interest in other areas,” explained Eifert. “Sometimes, I think people get nervous about how to do that.” One of the prominent pieces of interest (that also brings in the yellow) is a fashion illustration by Eduard Erlikh hanging in the corner. “I love fashion illustration. I have a bunch of pieces,” she said. She has two hanging at the moment, but has more tucked away. One was from her parents for Christmas 10 years ago. “It’s a reproduction of a Vogue print ad,” she said.
“I TRY TO JOURNAL. I LOVE WRITING AND WANTED TO BE A WRITER, BUT I HATE JOURNALING. YOU’RE SUPPOSED TO JOURNAL FOR 20 MINUTES EVERY DAY.”
Eifert chatted about “fan-girling” over that particular artist, Jessica Durrant, via Instagram (jessillustrator). She bought another piece from Durrant’s Etsy account, which is a watercolor of the state of South Dakota. Durrant painted a state a day for six months and put the prints up for sale. Eifert was ecstatic she nabbed one. “I love this, because I think it really does look like the South Dakota sky at night,” said Eifert. The rest of the front room showcases her love for “mismatching” different styles and furniture. One of the standout pieces is a reupholstered chair with patterned white and pink cushions, and the frame of it painted a bright teal. “I’m constantly trying to give everything a face lift, so you can keep it around longer,” she said. In regards to all-around style? “I would say mine is pretty eclectic. Professionally I lean more modern, but because of the style of the home and how it caters to it, I mix modern with lace and girly – it’s a conglomeration of both.”

O QUAINT KITCHEN To the left is a small and narrow kitchen, which Eifert says includes the original flooring and cabinets. “Since the kitchen is original, you’ll notice quirky things, like some of the cabinets don’t shut all of the way,” she laughed. The white cabinets and walls help bring in natural light from all of the windows “There are a ton of windows,” said Eifert. “Sometimes you’ll get home at night and you’ll almost feel like a fish bowl until you get everything closed up.” While the countertop space is sparse, Eifert loves to cook and have people over. Just down the narrow kitchen is a nook for the dining room table. “[The nook] is cute to look at, but it’s really small, so when you get people in there you have to commit that you don’t move until you’re done eating,” she said.
“I LOVE THIS BED FRAME SO MUCH, I WOULD NEVER GET RID OF IT. IT’S FROM KARA WHITE. WHEN YOU GET SOMETHING FROM ANOTHER DESIGNER, USUALLY IT’S A PRETTY COOL HAND-ME-DOWN."
It’s in the kitchen that you notice little tchotchkes sprinkled throughout the home, like little Buddhas that appear on the counter, shelves, and other locations. “I love 'Laughing Buddhas,' so they’re everywhere,” she said, pointing out a Buddha butter dish. “I get them from a little bit of everywhere. Some of them are from Japan; I went to Japan when I was 14. That’s where it started.” One area of the kitchen is special to Eifert and her heritage. A Dala Horse serving dish leans against the backsplash that she found at a Scandinavian store in Bismarck, N.D. “I’m Swedish and Norwegian, so I really like that stuff. My great-grandparents used to do rosemåling and paint Dala Horses,” she said. Walking over, she shows us Danish pottery she also purchased from the store. Some belonged to her mother, who passed away in 2007. “My mom and I were collecting sets together, so these blue pieces were the start of her set, and the ones with pink flowers are mine,” she explained.

O THE OFFICE “This is where I do all of my designing. It spills out into other areas of the house, too,” she explained as we entered her home office. A dog bed sits right next to the desk for Hooper. Her companion has a dog bed in each room for lounging.
EIFERT ALSO HAS A PODCAST, THE LAVISH PODCAST, WITH DESIGNER KARA WHITE.
“I call him my office assistant,” she smiled. While there are cork boards filled with pinned inspiration, it’s hard to ignore the massive library of sample books. “This is all fabric. I’ve got wall covering books, too, and carpet,” she said. “We’re so far removed from places [in South Dakota] that I have to keep a decent sized library here.” One is her particular favorite: “Kate Spade is my jam.” Her desk has even more trinkets, like a French Bulldog tape dispenser from her sister. “I just have things around my house that make me happy,” she said. “There’s no other rhyme or reason for it.” Next to a framed Etsy artwork is a print Eifert got from an American Advertising Federation (AAF)-Black Hills event. “Our chapter had Aaron Draplin come speak a couple of years ago, and he created this before he came,” she said. “He creates them for each state. You can order them on his website.” With all of the materials Eifert needs for her career, we asked how she stays so organized. “I feel like I’m always cleaning up and moving things around and tearing down,” she said. “Once it starts to feel full and crowded in here, I donate whichever [sample book] I haven’t looked at in a while.” Along with keeping organized, Eifert has had to learn to effectively work from home. To help focus, she said, “All of the cheesy advice is true.” “You need to get up and get dressed and put on your grown-up clothes. Even days when I don’t have meetings I get ready. Otherwise it will be 11 a.m. and I’ll still be in yoga pants,” she said. “I think the hardest part is turning it off at the end of the day. It’s hard to not work on things at night.” While getting into a routine is good, she said it’s also important to remember to leave the house. “I was just joking with my friends the other day that I became an accidental hermit, because I work here all day and don’t see many people except my clients.” When it comes down to Eifert’s home style, she said she is a prime example of how there is no hard rule on how to design your home. “That’s what I like to tell people. I don’t think you need to hone in on one style,” she said. “If you get things you genuinely love, it all ends up working together. You don’t need to worry about only being traditional, only mid-century modern… then you end up looking like a sale for a furniture store. My style changes all of the time.”

ANNIE’S ROOM

BY ALANA SNYDER PHOTOGRAPHY BY LIZ PAINTER
ON THE COVER
“THIS PLACE IS JUST FULL OF SPIRITS.” The 605 team asked Sioux Falls psychic medium Donna O’Dea if she would be willing to come with us to the historic Goss Opera House in Watertown. We had heard rumblings of “Annie’s Room,” which is a morbid tale of a woman who burned alive somewhere in the building. We pulled up to the corner of Kemp and Maple Avenue in the center of downtown, and gazed up at the three-floor brick structure. Co-manager Brad Johnson was holding the door open for us at the entrance. “We’re actually closed on Mondays, so this is perfect timing for a tour,” he said. As we walked in, we were told about the original, rare pine floors, and saw the large canvas of John Lennon in the entry that Johnson said was painted by a street artist. Built by Charles Goss in 1889 (the year South Dakota became a state), it was a public hall for community gatherings and entertainment. “When it was under construction, it was
great secrecy about what was being built,” said Johnson. “And when it opened, there was a lot of disappointment, because when they found out it was an opera hall it was the third opera hall at the time in Watertown. Everyone was asking, ‘What do we need another opera hall for?’” It's now the only remaining opera house in the area, and the 50,000 square-foot building is home to casual and fine dining, a coffee shop, a music venue, and several event spaces. Johnson said the building was bustling until the early 1950s. “Around the 1950s, it became practically unused, and pretty much was just mothballs until around 2007,” he said. “Since 2007, there has been over 3.5 million dollars invested in this place to bring it back to life.” Owned by Dave Barry, Johnson took over management May 1. According to Johnson, “It was kind of dead in the water, so we’re getting the momentum going. We have a new menu, and have some great shows and events coming up.” “There’s a woman in here,” said O’Dea, as we all stopped in our tracks in the coffee
shop. “She’s constantly wanting to tidy up.” “We could use people like that,” laughed Johnson. O’Dea stared at the coffee bar, and turned to Johnson. “Don’t you hear [spirits] once in awhile?” Johnson’s smile faded as he replied, “Various people have heard things moving around, doors closing... and the piano plays when there’s no one around.” “Oh, but there is [someone],” said O’Dea. After a brief moment, we continued on to the elevator. We got off on the second floor and entered the Opera Hall. “How would you like to spend the night in here alone?” said O’Dea as she looked at me. Johnson explained how everything on the stage is original, including the curtains and backdrop. “Every musician that plays here says it’s the best acoustics,” he said. The theater holds up to 450 people comfortably, and can host events and has entertainment, like the South Dakota Symphony (see event sidebar on page 36). “What’s neat is there was never permanent
seating in here, so you can easily have round tables placed in here, so people can enjoy the show and have somewhere to place their beverages,” said Johnson. “Did men wear top hats often when it first opened?” asked O’Dea.
had to put them up somewhere,” he said. While stories vary, and a lot of information is lacking (or possibly non-existent, according the Watertown Historical Society), Johnson said that Annie was an entertainer who brought her son with her.
“They did.” “You’ve got a man in a top hat in the Opera Hall in a chair waiting for the show to start,” she said, pointing to the last row. “And something nasty is coming from the ceiling of that stage.” Unsure of how to react, Johnson nodded his head and suggested we continue to “Annie’s Room” on the third floor. “Annie, I believe, was one of the traveling entertainers,” he explained as we followed. “They would bring in the entertainers by train from Minneapolis or Chicago, and then they would stay here for a week or two.” The entire hallway facing Maple Avenue has small apartments, which are so tiny it’s hard to imagine fitting a bed, if anything, in there. Johnson said they all shared a bathroom down the hall. “At the time, these were designed mostly for the entertainers to come and stay, because you
As he slowly pushed open door 6, O’Dea stumbled backwards with her hand to her mouth. “Oh, I don’t like this...” The rest of us walked in and gasped as we saw everything in tact from the alleged incident. A burn mark still appears fresh against the corner, and creeps up the wall and onto the wooden floor. O’Dea made her way into the room. “The story is Annie had brought her son along, who was mentally disabled, and he was causing trouble,” said Johnson from the doorway. “She yelled at him, and he grabbed a kerosene lamp and threw it at her. It caught her on fire.” O’Dea made small noises of distress as she looked at the charred wallpaper. “The kerosene oil is still on the floor. You can still feel the oil if you touch it,” said Johnson. Unfortunately, it sounds

like death didn’t stop there. “Supposedly, the rumor is that her son was so distraught after he realized what he did that he went elsewhere in the building and hung himself,” he continued. “Oh my goodness… he’s the one in the opera hall,” said O’Dea, referencing the catwalk. A portrait of Annie was sitting on the windowsill by artist Meranda Turbak, who used to worked at the Goss Opera House and had spent time in the room. Next to it was a vase of dead roses. “A friend of mine told me to start bringing in fresh roses for her, because they used to do that before for Annie,” he
said. “So we’re going to start bringing in fresh roses again.” “You should,” said O’Dea, still staring at the wallpaper. She pointed up, “There’s the woman that died, you can see her. It’s on the wall, you can see her looking up, and she has this maybe velvet band around her neck from her dress... and her hands are extended like she’s melting,” she continued. Johnson talked about everyone being terrified to be the last one there at night, and explained how he brought a friend into the room that was a priest and that he felt a “complete rush” through his body.
Asking why they keep the room the way it is, he replied, “I think everybody that’s owned the building has had a reverence for it.” “[Annie’s] still here, and she was awfully sorry for her son,” said O’Dea. “She feels so bad that he did that. Her dying thought, besides her terror, was, ‘What’s going to happen to him?’” Suddenly, O’Dea turned and looked at Johnson. “Ken? There’s a name Ken?” His head shook. “You’re sure you don’t know anyone named Ken?”

“We had a [Kenneth] Way, who was a longtime publisher of the paper [the Watertown Public Opinion], and he died around 7-8 years ago,” he recalled. “I remembered when we talked about resurrecting the Goss he said, ‘Stay away from the Goss.’” “Well he’s here, and he’s trying to help her,” said O’Dea. She turned to art director Liz Painter and myself. “Rose… who is Rose? Do you know a woman named Rose?” “Yeah, I know a Rose who recently passed away,” I said.
“She’s here. She’s here with Ken, and they’re trying to help Annie, but she’s so concerned about her son that I don’t think she’s going to leave.” We asked if her son was still in the building. “No, actually, he’s not. He’s gone on. And if she could hear us say that, that he’s okay and no one punished him, that she could go on and meet him, then maybe she would go,” she said. “She’s trapped in the pain and fear. She was afraid he was going to be hanged… Oh my God, and that’s what he did, isn’t it? He’s fine, he’s gone to the light, Rose and Ken can tell her. They know.”
After a few silent minutes, O’Dea spoke again. “Ugh, I’m just getting chills. She’s being helped, we can move on, but so far she can’t move from her turmoil and fear.” We made our way out of the room that carried so much heaviness and headed to the third floor banquet hall. Paper lanterns hung from the ceiling, and Johnson showed us a display case in the room that has items found during the renovations, like a wallet, liquor bottles, and instruments. I turned to O’Dea and asked why the man
in the top hat is stuck waiting for a show. “The problem with him is that he’s stuck in that mindset, so for him [the performance] will never start, which is too bad,” she said. “Maybe that’s purgatory?” Then why, I asked, is the woman stuck cleaning in the coffeehouse? Is it her mindset? “I think she was a housekeeper, or something like that, and she takes her job very seriously,” she said. “She’s more aware of herself than the man in the Opera Hall.” Painter went to go take more images of the
stage, and Johnson took us into a smaller room where they will have model trains displayed over the holidays. As we walked back out to the banquet room, I was getting texts from Painter asking where we went, and she mentioned the automatic lights were off when she came back in looking for us. “To me, it honestly does feel like the building breathes,” said O’Dea with her hand to her chest. I asked how that works for her when there are so many spirits in one place.

ON THE COVER “I can just feel them all. Some of them can see us, some of them can’t. Some of them are stuck in time, like the gentleman in the top hat, and some of them are just visiting,” she said. “They just like it, and maybe they performed here and they come back. When you start remodeling a place it really wakes them up. That’s when they get really, really active. This building is always going to have lots of… do you ever see those lights swing?” She pointed at one of the hanging lanterns. “Yeah,” said Johnson. “There’s a spirit trying to swing [that lantern] right now,” she said. “They can’t quite muster up the energy to get it, but it’s trying.” Painter came in flustered and told Johnson what had happened. “The lights are on a 10-minute timer. That’s not possible the lights were off,” he said. Getting chills, we ended our tour by looking at the original entrance, which is now blocked off. After thanking Johnson for his time, I ran to the restroom quickly, so we could hop back on the road (O’Dea and Painter were smart and used it when we arrived). I opened the door and saw a silver necklace in the middle of the floor. Back in the car, we chatted about what had occurred during our walk-through. O’Dea mentioned she saw some popcorn on the floor and a couple beer cans from an event the week prior around the venue. “Yeah, they hadn't gotten around to cleaning yet, because there was even that necklace in the bathroom still, which was random,” I said. O’Dea and Painter looked at each other. “Did you see a necklace?” asked Painter. “I didn’t see a necklace.” “No… there was not a necklace in there,” confirmed O’Dea. We all stared at each other in the rearview mirror in silence. FOR MORE INFORMATION ON THE GOSS OPERA HOUSE, VISIT THEGOSSOPERAHOUSE.COM.•

O'DEA'S PASSION PROJECT AFTER FEELING MORE CONSTRICTED WITH HER NEW PACEMAKER FOUR YEARS AGO, O'DEA DISCOVERED HER LOVE FOR PAINTING. “IT MAKES ME FEEL ALIVE,” SHE SAID. SOME OF HER WORKS CAN BE FOUND OCCASIONALLY AT EASTBANK ART GALLERY & STUDIO. O'DEA SHARED A FEW OF HER PIECES FROM HER HOME COLLECTION.
THE SOUL STEALER “It’s actually about narcissists and how they manipulate people and steal their souls because they don’t have their own. A lucky person understands what’s happening and gets away from it, but it’s hard when it’s a child," said O'Dea. "Conversely, other people look at that painting and see those hands as very soothing and comforting, so I guess it’s really up to the interpretation to the viewer.”
THE WASHER WOMAN “In Celtic mythology, she sits by the river and washes her clothes and comes out at night," explained O'Dea. "One night, it was pouring rain and my daughter looked out the window, and here was this woman sitting on the curb soaking wet in a white dress looking up at her. So I just painted that. I think our mythologies really run in our heritage, but whatever caused that is interesting.”
STREET WOMAN “I saw her outside of Shriver’s [Square]. She was sitting on the table, and she had her feet on the chair. She was dressed very warm on a nice day with a coat, hat and gloves. It appeared she was homeless and potentially mentally ill, and she was very friendly," said O'Dea. "She asked me if I knew Virginia and was waiting for her friend. I told her if I saw her I would tell her she was looking for her. She just struck me as such a beautiful human being and so important to Sioux Falls and to the energy of the city.”

Distilling Pioneers BY CLAUDIA MILLER
WE HAVE TASTINGS. WE’LL WALK YOU THROUGH EACH ONE OF OUR FLAVORS.
CAN YOU HAVE TOO MUCH OF A GOOD THING?
DEADWOOD DISTILLING CO. DOESN’T SEEM TO THINK SO. THE NEW LOCATION IN DOWNTOWN DEADWOOD JUST OPENED ITS DOORS THIS PAST SUMMER, AND FEATURES A CUSTOMER-PLEASING TRIFECTA OF FOOD, FUN AND S’LOONSHINE SEVEN DAYS A WEEK. The new business is the vision of owners Michael Ballard and Todd Phillips. Ballard also owns the wellknown Full Throttle Saloon in Sturgis and the S’loonshine Distillery in his hometown of Trimble, Tenn. The Trimble distillery and Deadwood Distilling Co. use the same recipes for their creations.
“S’loonshine is an American moonshine, a grain neutral spirit. We have seven flavors and are passionate about our product,” explained Deadwood
Distillery Co. manager Steve Fredericksen. According to Fredericksen, Ballard saw how opening a distillery in his hometown changed the community in a positive way. He envisioned a similar effect for the historic town of Deadwood. When three buildings located on Deadwood’s Main Street went up for sale, they decided it was time for a new business venture. Deadwood Distilling Co.’s picturesque building has enough space for the Deadwood Distilling Pizzeria, general store, Bloody Nose Saloon, and the S’loonshine Distillery and tasting room. The location’s sale was finalized on May 15, and the business opened its doors soon afterward. Rustic vibes and pine-covered scenery at the Black Hills town of roughly 1,300 people seem to be an obvious match for the distillery. From the wooden barrel display stands to the masses of mason jars filled with the distillery’s pride and joy, one can practically imagine Wild Bill Hickok himself wandering into the establishment, straight out of another lifetime. As Steve described the relationship of Deadwood and the new business, “We have all that old
style – cowboys, gamblers, gunslingers, and now moonshiners . It’s just kind of a natural fit.” The highlight of the new business is, of course, the distillery itself. Deadwood Distilling Co. sets itself apart from food and drink competitors in the area by producing their own S’loonshine spirits. “To be an artisan distiller, you have to make the product here. We do it all from scratch - from the fermentation to the shelf. You get to see the process.” Visitors of the location are free to broaden their taste buds by sampling from the unique flavors of 70-proof S’loonshine products available from the distillery. The current selections range from fruity flavors, such as peach, to darker, creamier options like Cafe S’loonshine. “We have tastings. We’ll walk you through each one of our flavors,” said Fredericksen. The variety at the distillery is impressive, but that doesn’t mean that artisanal pizza, made fresh every day and sold by the slice or pie, isn’t equally worth a
trip to downtown Deadwood. Deadwood Distilling Co. offers an array of other products as well, including American Amish jams and jellies, pickles, bourbon maple syrup and the distillery’s own T-shirt line. Fredericksen noted that the business is always looking for local products that fit with the company. Deadwood Distilling Co. even used fresh-cut pine from a local source when decorating the distillery and its tasting room. Tucked away among the Black Hills National Forest, Deadwood can’t deny its cozy, old-fashioned atmosphere, but the influential past of the area doesn’t distract the distillery from looking ahead to its future. Friendly faces who run the diverse business look forward to being part of upcoming community celebrations, such as Deadweird (October 27-28). In addition, the business is also planning a November contest event for Cheech and Chong or Hairball impersonations. “It’s always going to be a party up here. All are welcome. Moonshine is a true American tradition.” FOR MORE INFORMATION, VISIT DEADWOOD.COM.

O CODY’S SMOKEHOUSE was shocked when I found out there was actually a restaurant opening in the original site for Quaker Steak & Lube on the west side of Sioux Falls. At this point, I thought the location (south of 69th Street) was cursed, and that the building would sit vacant for years to come.
“It’s called Cody’s Smokehouse,” said my co-worker, who was reading the latest news of it opening in early August at her desk. Great. Another BBQ place. Well, we better check it out. We pulled up into the huge parking lot. I had never gotten this close to the building. Walking in, you see a waiting area with benches, and walk around to see how big the restaurant actually is. While it’s “casual dining,” it can seat up to 300 people and is split up into different rooms. There were private rooms that I assumed you could rent out for a party or gathering that also had a lot of space.
chose a few items (a few is the wrong term) to get a feel for it. Our baskets were brought to us, and up first were the Smokehouse Wings and the Rib & Meat Platter. For the wings, you can order them BBQ, Asian Glaze, Buffalo, or Naked. We chose naked, so we could dip them into the different sauces. As soon as they hit the table, we dug in. I was on the wings, and my co-worker was on the ribs (our platter came with ribs and chopped pork with two sides). It hit. “I just got a wing high.” “I got a rib high.” They were both delicious. My co-worker
SMOKEHOUSE WINGS
noted that the ribs fell off the bone as she went for another. I realized I was two wings in when I hadn’t even used any sauce. They were super crispy, and were delicious on their own. I dipped one side in the blue cheese. Yummy. Then I went for the Asian Glaze, which had an interesting (almost bourbon) taste. We asked someone, and they said it might be the mix of honey and balsamic we were tasting. The buffalo was classic buffalo, and was the right amount of oomph. After stopping myself from continuing my wing addiction, I tried the ribs. They checked out and melted off the bone. Next was my BBQ favorite - the pork. I felt adventurous and wanted to try all of the sauces. There are four: Mild, Sassy, Fiery, and X-Fiery. Mild was, of course, yummy. Sassy was good, but not too different from Mild. Fiery was very good, and X-Fiery had a

Next came out all of the meats. We tried the BBQ Sampler, which has three meats, six ribs, and four slices of garlic bread. Our meats included more ribs, Smoked Sausage, Burnt Ends, and Beef Brisket.

The macaroni and cheese is a house recipe, but it was nothing to write home about. I’m excited to try the Potato Casserole and Smoky Baked Beans. Then, the finale. Homemade Apple Dumpling hit the table, and I didn’t even realize how giddy I got. I automatically cupped the warm bowl like I was 8 years old and grinned. The dessert melted in as my fork hit, and the cinnamon, caramel, and apple medley were just as good as I anticipated.
A joyful time (for your wallet) indeed. Every day from 3-6 p.m. enjoy happy hour, where domestic beers are $1.50. Get a half order of wings for $3.99.
O BOTTOM LINE: It’s a great spot, especially for that growing area of town. The BBQ is very good, and I love that they’re mixing up with daily comfort food (see facts below). It’s a local restaurant named after owner and BBQ lover, Joe Cody. The portions were large, and it looked like we had barely touched anything after we thought we demolished our meals. Not hungry? They have a whole bar side and a casino. I can’t wait to try more “darn good BBQ.”

It’s huge. There is one large, open seating area with tables and booths, a bar side, a casino, and three private rooms to rent. While it’s branded very much Cody’s Smokehouse with modern pig artwork and a small section of wallpaper showcasing their award-winning BBQ by pitmasters Darren and Sherry Warth (they’ve won over 75 state BBQ championships), I liked that they kept one of the garage doors inside from the Quaker Steak & Lube construction. We also raved about their cleaning station where you can wash your hands in the restaurant so you don’t have to interrupt the experience and go to the restroom.
For the portions alone, it’s priced extremely well. It was $9.49 for 10 wings, and it was only $21.99 for the BBQ Sampler. Sides are only $1.99, and happy hour domestic beers are $1.50 (see happy hour sidebar)!
I thought it was going to just be another BBQ joint, but the ribs melted off the bone, the naked wings were tasty by themselves, and the dessert was something I never expected from an “order-from-the-counter” eatery. Next time, I’m adding a cup of ice cream.
EVERY DAY FEATURES A DIFFERENT “COMFORT FOOD.” FOR EXAMPLE, MONDAY IS CHICKEN FRIED STEAK AND SATURDAYS ARE HAM BALLS (BOTH SERVED WITH GRAVY AND CORN). CHECK THEIR MENU ONLINE FOR FULL OPTIONS.

THERE ARE THREE “PARTY ROOMS” AVAILABLE TO RENT OUT. FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY THEY ASK FOR A MINIMUM OF 20 PEOPLE FOR RENTALS.

NECESSARY NOSTALGIA BY TRACY KIRBY // CRISTA BALLARD PHOTOGRAPHY
It has been said on more than one occasion that one shouldn’t live or dwell in the past, dredge up the past, count past hurts against someone, or let the past define oneself. In these senses, the past is somewhat of a naughty word - something to be overcome, maybe even avoided.
times have their own set of intense troubles and joys, and our present is, in many ways, a vast improvement on our history. But, something about peering into the past and just remembering the simpler, less convoluted aspects of it has left me feeling, well, nostalgic.
But then there’s nostalgia - the somewhat more romantic take on the past. It's the feeling you get when the past leaves you yearning for the sweet sentiment that washes over you when you revisit it.
My husband has kin associated with the Wall Drug Store, the memorable tourist attraction. I’m not sure if you can get a heavier dose of nostalgia than you can by visiting Wall. So, every year, we take our kids and head west to visit. This year, we went as summer was coming to a close and the busyness of the school year was just kicking off. If you’ve ever driven west in South Dakota, it's inevitable to see the old Wall Drug signs sprinkled on the countryside. And even the signs decree nostalgia. No hashtags, electronic billboards,
In recent days, I have found myself feeling especially nostalgic for what seems to be simpler days of eras gone by. Perhaps it's all the heavy headlines and issues I see across the world today, all the while knowing this is the very world and the issues which my children now face. I know that all
Facebook ads, or spam mail. Just simple, painted billboards. Upon arrival, the sentimentality of the past reverberates throughout the entire sprawling property. This year, as my children are now old enough to truly experience the store, I watched with new eyes as they delved into the world of exploring and experiencing relics of the past. I watched as they excitedly ran from room to room, their little feet pouncing off of the creaking floors, sprinting by countless pictures of the old west (some dating even before 1900). We would stop and talk about the people in the pictures, discussing what it may have been like to live in such an era. We “mined” for gold, found beloved sparkling rocks in a dark “cave,” sat outside and drank an old-fashioned rootbeer float, and watched the kids climb all over a mythical jackalope.

"IT WAS AN UNEXPECTEDLY MAGICAL DAY. A SLOW DAY. A DAY STEEPED IN THE PAST, BUT LIVED IN LIGHT OF THE PRESENT."
We doted over the western art, and admired all the nods to history - both good and bad. And of course, because we are who we are, we ate ourselves into donut oblivion. It was an unexpectedly magical day. A slow day. A day steeped in the past, but lived in light of the present.
As our time there came to a close, and we watched our kids play in the fountains set to the movement of old tunes, we already began to feel nostalgic for the very simplicity of that moment. Not often in our hectic modern-day life, filled with schedules and to-do’s, do we get the chance to slow way down, let them play in
the fountains without an agenda or schedule, and sit in the dirt with them and play rocks until the day turns dark. Since we’ve been back, the rocks they collected from Wall Drug are my kids’ ultimate toys. They hide them on paths for a scavenger hunt, they line
them up over and over, they throw them at each other (of course, to my horror and dismay) and they treasure them. And every time I see those rocks, they remind me of that day at Wall Drug. The quietness and slowness of it; the joy of it. The day where I could get on my children’s level, look them in the eye, and teach them
about the past. And, as we face somewhat of an unknown future in light of everything happening in the world today, they remind me that the past does not have to be something we avoid. Rather, the past can inform us, guide us, warn us - and ultimately, it can aid in our healing. •

RIDAY THE 13TH: A DATE THAT MAY SEND SHIVERS DOWN SPINES, THAT SPOOKS SOME PEOPLE INTO WALKING WITH INTENTIONAL TENDERNESS ON SIDEWALKS, (SO TO NOT BREAK THEIR MOTHER’S BACK). A DATE WHERE, IF ANYTHING BAD OR SPOOKY HAPPENS, IT’S BECAUSE OF THE DATE ON THE CALENDAR.
To Zac Tenneboe, better known as Z*stonish, Friday, October 13 is a date that he has been scheming for for nearly two years. Tenneboe will be performing a one-man show at the Orpheum Theater, exploring the realm of superstition, departing from his typical routine of comedy hypnosis. “My Superstitions show is much different than my comedy hypnosis shows,” said Tenneboe. “In fact, there really isn't any hypnosis in the upcoming show. My comedy hypnosis shows have stand-up comedy, improv, and audience members hypnotized to do silly funny things. Whereas the Superstitions show is a more sophisticated performance with serious moments. There is still comedy and funny bits throughout, but far different than the hypnosis shows.” According to the Facebook event page, Tenneboe’s show is different than what anyone’s experienced before: “It's more than just a magic show, but a stunning one-man performance weaving mystery and theater. No rabbits. No top hats. No smoke and mirrors. Witness a different way to experience illusion.” Superstitions as a theme was inspired when Tenneboe booked the Orpheum for the show. “I wanted to do something a little bit different than my previous shows,” said Tenneboe. “I've always wanted to incorporate a theatrical experience into a magic show, and I knew I had the best possible date, Friday the 13th... so what could I do with that? It made perfect sense and I wondered why hadn't I thought of that prior?! It was simple.”

"I'VE ALWAYS BEEN INTERESTED IN ALL THINGS STRANGE AND MACABRE. AS A CHILD MY FAVORITE TELEVISION SHOWS WERE "THE MUNSTERS" AND "RIPLEY'S BELIEVE IT OR NOT." MY LUCKY NUMBER HAS ALWAYS BEEN 13."
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
C U LT U R E + E N T E R TA I N M E N T
Tenneboe, a second-generation magician, has spent his career finding his niche and evolving his craft. With a background in the art of theater, he felt led to dramatize his usual act and meld it with superstition, realizing that superstition is all around us. “I think we use superstitions as a way to control fate, our reality,” said Tenneboe. “Does playing your lucky number in the lottery actually make it lucky? Probably not. But we try anyways, and I think that's the fun part. I think fear of the unknown is also a part of the equation. For example, if you walk under a ladder... will it cause bad luck? Probably not. But yet, we still choose not to walk under it.” Youth has a way of making you see magic all around you, creating your own reality that can include things as far as your imagination can reach. For Tenneboe, that creativity did not fade. Inspired by his father, young Tenneboe found magic compelling. He found that it was his creative outlet. “I've always been interested in all things strange and macabre. As a child my favorite television shows were The Munsters and Ripley's Believe it or Not. My lucky number has always been 13.” Now, as an adult, Tenneboe has carried along the world of strange and mysterious that he was surrounded by as a child, his craft growing as he grew. “[It’s] an expression of myself while also creating an experience for my audiences. As an artist, you'd have a painting. For a musician, you have songs. For me, my creative work takes its place on stage. And, as any artist

grows, so have my shows. When I was younger, it was all about the tricks themselves. Nowadays, it's about the people and creating meaning with those tricks.” Tenneboe is thrilled to see how his show has evolved: “Most magicians don't give their show this type of a theatrical perspective.” Cryptically, as if he was about to disappear behind a tuft of smoke, he states that his audience will witness a different reality while being led on a very mysterious journey… ‘SUPERSTITIONS’ IS RECOMMENDED FOR AGES 13 AND OLDER.

ASK THE JOHNS
Know Your SD HERE ARE SOME STRANGE (AND ENTERTAINING) SOUTH DAKOTA LAWS.
YES, ALL THREE OF THESE GUYS ARE NAMED JOHN. YES, IT WAS A POPULAR NAME IN THE ‘80S. THE IDENTITY OF THESE THREE AMIGOS HAVE BEEN ALTERED TO PROTECT THE INNOCENT. HAVE A QUESTION FOR THE JOHNS? SHOOT AN E-MAIL THEIR WAY AT THEJOHNS@605MAGAZINE.COM.
THIS GUY WHO I THOUGHT WAS MY FRIEND SENT ME A LATE-NIGHT TEXT THAT WAS… PROVOCATIVE. HOW DO I KEEP THE FRIENDSHIP AFTER THIS? IT JUST SEEMS AWKWARD NOW.
I PLANNED A SURPRISE PARTY FOR MY FRIEND, BUT THEY HAVE MADE OTHER PLANS. HOW DO I GET THEM TO COME WITHOUT RUINING THE SURPRISE?
MY FRIEND WANTS US TO ALL DRESS UP IN A GROUP COSTUME TOGETHER, AND THAT SOUNDS LIKE MY NIGHTMARE. HOW DO I GET OUT OF IT, OR DO I JUST HAVE TO HIDE AND STAY IN?
JR: An unprovoked provocative text put you in a pickle. Hit the delete button and forget about it! I bet he already has.
JR: It sounds like you have found yourself in the ultimate catch 22. You put the cart before the horse by planning the surprise before nailing down plans with the surprise. Perhaps a little sleight of hand could occur if you managed to cancel these other plans...
JR: If group costumes give you nightmares, Halloween is no night for your to be out and about. Stay home where you are safe from such terrors.
JW: Tell this late night skeez to delete your number. I'm just saying, that's outrageous, girl. I'm sorry to hear that... Do you need to talk about it? Want me to swing over? You up? JT: I would definitely take a break talking to this person. Let them cool off and take a cold shower, and you’ll be fine in a few weeks. If it really did bother you, though, I would maybe bring it up to him and just say, “Hey, we’re friends, right?” Friends don’t let friends send… “provocative” texts to each other.
JW: Usually, I just threaten the lives of the other people they made plans with. I'm 100 percent so far! JT: If you can, be in touch with said “other plans.” I’m sure they’ll love to help out with getting them to where they need to be!
JW: Tell them you already bought a costume. Then, when that doesn't work, just say whatever they want to do as a group costume is cultural appropriation and say you're offended. Being offended is the new get-out-of-jail-free card. JT: Group costumes are a nightmare, but sometimes you have to bite the bullet and just dress with up with your friends. Trust me, one day your friends will have babies and no one will ask you to dress up with them. Then you’ll have to have a baby and make them dress up in a group costume, because there will be no one left.
