The annual South Dakota Sports Hall of Fame banquet was scheduled for Saturday April 14 in Sioux Falls this year. That was until another winter storm decided to intervene.
On Wednesday afternoon, a decision was made to cancel this year’s event.

As it’s noted, those members being inducted this year will be honored at next year’s banquet, along with the Class of 2019.
While it’s disappointing for those being inducted, and to those planning to attend, it looks like it may be the right decision.
We know we're calling for a considerable amount of snow, but here's a closer look at where the risk level of reaching those numbers falls at.
