A Second Chance

Our first story takes us to Volga, where we meet Jerry Nelson, who nearly died in a farm accident, then discovered a new found passion. Next, we make a stop in Sioux Falls to learn why volunteers are fixing up old bicycles. Explore the 50+miles of bike trails around the capitol city of Pierre with Larry and friends. Plus, see what's cooking at a high school culinary competition in Mitchell.
