The beginning of December brought above normal temperatures which everyone seemed to take advantage of. New storage units were built behind the Yankton Sioux Travel Plaza, Dakota Auto Body put on a new roof, Highway 50 Spur to 281 was completed, farmers were busy working their fields, and some enjoyed a Virtual 5K through the Flex it Pink. Pictured above, Leah Insko, who signed up for a Virtual 5K to enjoy some running in December as well as other local runners, Mieke Slaba and Julie Alderink.

The lack of moisture is beginning to cause some concern for area farmers.
