Ten Days and Counting

June 23, 2009 by rs

The pressure is on! We have ten days left to finish with the preparations for the longest running July 3 celebration in the State of South Dakota. Two whole days (third and fourth of July) of family filled fun. You won’t regret coming!

Lake Elsie is Back!

June 9, 2009 by Rachel Vande Brake

After decades of being filled in with earth, Lake Elsie is now filled with water. It is just amazing and the waterfall over the dam gives a whole new meaning to “Talking Waters”.  Come “Experience the Life” here in Gary South Dakota, and join us for the Grand Opening of Buffalo Ridge Resort, July 3rd, 4th and 5th! Many activities for the whole family and tours daily of the Buffalo Ridge Resort Campus (formally the South Dakota School for the Blind). Pics soon to come!

Windows are in!

After a long wait and some hard work, the new windows are finally going into the Herrick Hotel and Woodbury Hall. Things are really starting to come together. The hotel rooms are sheet rocked, the bathrooms are being tiled, and they are beginning t0 take the shape of a first class hotel. The upper level of Woodbury Hall is complete and the original wood floors are just spectacular. The Talking Waters Campground now has 16 RV sites and no matter which one you are in, they are a little piece of heaven. The damn is being worked on so the lake can be filled, and the three tipis are here and will just be amazing. With a few weeks left to go to the opening, there is activity everywhere. Can’t wait to have you come stay with us and enjoy this “vision restored”.

Vision soon to be restored in Gary SD.

Everything is moving forward as planned at Buffalo Ridge Resort. The walls for the Racquetball court are up, and the fitness center will begin its transformation.  Lake Elsie is scheduled to be filled up next week and the grass is starting to grow around the premises. With the landscaping beginning next week, it will be exciting to watch the “vision” begin to take shape. Stay tuned for more updates and pictures.
