Most years at summer’s end, we visit the Central States Fair in Rapid City – usually an evening towards the end of the event when it’s cooler and things are winding down. This year, we found ourselves heading to town on a bright, sunny Saturday at the beginning of the fair because we wanted to stop at the Farmers Market first. Both venues are in the same vicinity, and my husband had heard that the market was offering a $5 coupon for any local meat purchase. Coupons always get my husband going.
