The drone show will take place from the Nebraska side of the river. Just to the east of campground. The best view will be from Riverside Park from the baseball field over to the Capitol Building. There will be music and narration that go with the show so being in that area will provide an opportunity to hear that.

On July 5, 1919, the State of South Dakota granted the Meridian Highway Bridge Company its charter. Tonight we celebrate what that means with concerts, family activities, a vintage car show (1910's through 1974), and the first ever drone show sponsored by First Dakota National Bank. The image is what drones look like when creating the image of the First Dakota logo!!! We hope to see you tonight in Riverside Park!
