Give me a small town and I'm happy. Give me a small town where people come together, I'm happier. Give me a small town where people come together to put on an event year after year after year and I start getting giddy.

Here's to Scotland, South Dakota!  This year, the small town in southeast South Dakota is putting on their 50th Scottie Stampede!

Make sure you check out the Scottie Stampede August 8th and 9th. They've added some money to bring in the cowboys and cowgirls. Nearly $30,000 in prize money has been added.

I talked with Tanner Seuss and a bunch of awesome folks at the Aaron Watson concert at The District in June. They were pumped about the big event coming to Scotland! This years Scottie Stampede will feature the One Armed Bandit. No, it's not a slot machine but rather a man, a horse and two buffalo! It's rodeo entertainment you won't want to miss!

Now, a Scottie Stampede wouldn't be fun if there wasn't a street dance. Zach and Kenny are coming to town for a street dance on Saturday night! Yep, The Lugnuts. I've known Zach and Kenny now for a few years, and I know that where they go, the party goes!

Call your friends and if they have plans, break em. It's rodeo time with the Scottie Stampede!  Follow the Scottie Stampede on Facebook!
