Happy New Year, Aberdeen!

ow that the holiday season has come to an end, I am sure many of you are wondering how to pass the time in this wintery weather. For those of you with little ones in the house, we have a great list of kid-friendly winter activities on page 70. Our recipe for this issue is easy to make and will keep the winter chills at bay. In addition to our Book Club features, we also have a South Dakota author spotlight on page 38. Of course, reading all of the articles in this issue will keep you entertained too!

2022 brought us many wonderful stories about our community and the individuals who make Aberdeen a great place to live. I am excited to see what 2023 has to offer. Aberdeen Magazine has been a wonderful learning experience for me, as every single person I speak with has their own unique story to share. I hope that our readers enjoy the learning experience just as much as I have. And as always, we love to hear from our readers. They’ve helped us find great topics to cover that we might not have heard about otherwise. We wouldn’t be where we are now without you! //

Albertanos Comes to Aberdeen

Albertanos Mexican Restaurant has opened its newest location in Aberdeen.

“We like to find towns where we can offer something special,” Maria said. “There’s been a lot of great feedback already and we hope to continue to grow our business.”

In addition to their breakfast burritos that are available all day, Albertanos offers many delicious entrees as well as daily specials. They are open from 6:00 AM to 11:00 PM Monday through Sunday. // —Annie Scott  Albertanos is located at 3311 6th Ave SE. For more information, call 605-225-1236.
