Come celebrate and see all the amazing things that are happening at Prairie Hills Pharmacy and Crazee Cow Ice Cream on June 8th, located at 600 State Street in Belle Fourche.
Change, Change and more Changes coming to our community and the Chamber of Commerce.
I am absolutely in love with all the changes and improvements I have noticed in our community over the past several months with businesses. Some businesses are growing and having to move to new locations others are giving their business a nice facelift to
spruce up the curb appeal, and some are just updating signage. All I can say is “WAY TO GO” Belle Fourche Businesses for all your hard work and dedication to our community. I can’t wait to see what happens next.
Speaking of a few changes the Belle Fourche Chamber has added three new people to our office. Brianne Bonnet has taken the role of membership and event coordinator as of May 31st and Alyssa and Ethan are our two summer interns who will be completing some marketing items that we have been dying to do for our business members. You may see them out and about in the community visiting your business and offering some marketing opportunities that you won’t want to miss out on.

Coming Through Belle Fourche June 9th!
South Dakota’s bicycle tour RASDak (Ride Across South Dakota) is celebrating its 10th year tour by giving bicyclists from 23 states and Canada the opportunity to pedal “Full Circle” June 4 through June 9. The circular route will take riders on a loop through the Black Hills. The six day tour starts in Spearfish on June 3 and ends in Spearfish on June 9. The riders will make overnight stops in Newcastle, WY, June 4; Hot Springs, June 5; Custer, June 6; Rapid City, June 7; and Sturgis, June 8.
RASDak is more than a bicycle ride. RASDak is run 100% by volunteers. All proceeds raised by RASDak benefit local community needs. In 2023, RASDak donated a Huckwagon bike trailer to The Club for Boys in Rapid City for use in transporting bikes for the boys. The Huckwagon bike trailer will be presented to the Club for Boys in Rapid City on Wednesday, June 7, at 4:45 pm. RASDak also donated a Saris Bike Service Station to the city of Sturgis. It is located at the Harley Davidson Rally Point. Finally, RASDak has donated four $750 scholarships to four outstanding graduating seniors in its host towns of Spearfish, Newcastle, Hot Springs and Custer.
RASDak also contributes to local economies. Over 300 riders and support crew camp at schools and community centers located in the host towns. Food and snack stops are provided by local South Dakota groups as fundraisers for the communities as well as provided by local restaurants, grocery stores and C-Stores. Daily route maps and general information are available on RASDak.com.
Congratulations to Jeskica Floyd owner of Heartland Homehealth for receiving the Enterprising Women Intrapreneur award at the SDCEO Pivot Conference in Spearfish.
