The 2018 inductees will be presented their awards on the Farm Bureau Dakotaland Stage by Gate 3 starting at 6 p.m. The 2018 event is dedicated to the memory of Chris Woodard who passed away from her courageous battle with cancer April 28, 2018. Woodard was the wife of 2017 inductee Tim Woodard and a longtime musical duo of 16 years. Tim and Chris as Rural Route #1 played for many functions in the northern area of South Dakota. Tim has retired both guitars that he and Chris played together. The 2018 Inductees are: • Phyllis Hummel — Lester Prairie, • Ray Hilmer — Harrisburg, • John Thiesen (posthumous) — Valley Springs, • Gerald Heitmann — Lake City, • Franklin Keeble Sr. — Grenville, • Maurice Bueber —Tripp, • Craig Winquist — Alcester, • Paul Larson — Hill City, • Gordon Olson — Mission Hill. Other 2018 awards winners include: • Lifetime Achievement Award: Elva Meyers — Yankton, • Gospel CD of the Year — Leland Harding III / Anton Mack — Willow Lake/Watertown “You Got To Have Faith.” • CD of the Year: Dave Oyen — Kalispell “Acoustic” & Kim Plender — Box Elder “These Are a Few of My Favorite Things.” • The new 2018 category Songwriter of the Year: Dale Allen Pommer — Nashville, and • Promoter of the Year: High Country Guest Ranch — Hill City. Inductees are all nominated by their peers, friends or family. They are then selected based on their musical history, promotion and support of country music in South Dakota. Musicians and performers are selected from throughout the entire state of South Dakota. There are no age restrictions except for the Lifetime Achievement Award. For this award, the selected inductee must be at least 70 years old and have promoted country music in South Dakota for most of their lives and be a prior hall of fame inductee. In addition to honoring the musicians, the use of some of the donations for the Hall of Fame is to help provide musical supplies for the beginners in the elementary school levels. It is the belief of the SDCMHoF that kids need support and encouragement to become involved in the arts and music is an art. This is the organization’s way of giving back to the community as well. Helping children get music supplies is very important. The SDCMHoF is the only statewide organization that puts musical supplies into the hands of elementary students in their formative years. The South Country Music Hall of Fame is a non-profit organization and all work is done on a voluntary basis. The organization relies primarily on donations for its support. South Dakota merchants and vendors are used for the business needs whenever possible, and is our way of supporting South Dakota. The SDCMHoF thanks the South Dakota State Fair Board for hosting this event in Huron and the Farm Bureau Financial Services for hosting the event on the Dakotaland stage at the state fair. On Saturday Night, Sept. 1, the Hall of Fame will present two musical events also on the Dakotaland Stage. • At 6 p.m., Kim Plender, 2018 CD of the Year Award winner, will perform • At 6:45 p.m., Milbank’s Neil and Jenni Bagaus will perform music from their career with South Dakota’s own “Suns of the West Band.” Artists Sought for SDHCA Dakota MasterWorks: Senior Art Show SIOUX FALLS — The South Dakota Health Care Association (SDHCA), Great Western Bank, and KELOLAND Television announce that Entry Forms are available for the 22nd annual SDHCA Dakota MasterWorks Art Show, which is open to all South Dakota citizens age 60 and older.
