Ever found yourself flipping through a waiting room pamphlet and wondering, “Who actually picks these up?” Bailey Meadow sure has. Bailey’s Growing Pain Pamphlets is an interactive installation that reimagines the overlooked, the crumpled-up, the free-for-the-taking as an art form—one that is as humorous as it is heartfelt.

A love letter to print ephemera, community knowledge, and the joy of the mundane, this project blends design, writing, pop culture, and personal storytelling into a collection of pamphlets covering everything from Michael Cera to Midwest survival tactics. These aren’t your average doctor’s office handouts; they’re designed to be picked up, tossed in the backseat, rediscovered, and, ultimately, lived with.

Not sure what to categorize it in, but it's a tattoo event. And we have quite a bit of sponsors along with native nations dispensary, but contact me if you want more information, if this is something that you guys want to talk about, thank you

Dad's, you deserve a break! On your special day, bring the whole family for a fun day at Wylie Park, and you get a FREE attraction of your choice! This includes Laser Maze, Euro-Bungy, Bumper Boats, Mini Golf, and Go Karts. See you there!

Rare Jefferson Peace Medal Exhibit at Mead Museum

An original 220-year old Jefferson Peace Medal on loan to the Mead Museum is on display as part of the Journeying Forward: Connecting Cultures exhibit. The 4-inch Jefferson Peace Medal is extremely rare and a historically significant artifact from the early 19th century.
The peace medals were commissioned by President Thomas Jefferson as part of diplomatic efforts with Native American tribes, serving as symbols of goodwill and alliance between the U.S. government and Indigenous leaders. The Lewis & Clark Expedition handed out 89 of them to leaders of Native Nations on their journey between 1804-1806. This medal is one of less than 5 on display in the world!
In addition to the peace medal, the Journeying Forward exhibit also had an upgrade in its history of the Ihanktonwan and Oceti Sakowin Nations, an important narrative to Yankton regional history.
The Mead Museum is located at 82 Mickelson Dr in Yankton SD. The Museum is open weekdays 10AM to 5PM and on Saturdays/Sundays from 1PM to 5PM.

Event about turtles and tortoises; their differences and similarities and their respective habitats. Film, crafts, take-home workbook, book-drawing and an appearance by a turtle named Charlie.
