The Armour Community Foundation has awarded a grant of $4,000 to the Armour Community Exchange. The money will be used for building improvements and to expand the showroom of the Exchange.

The South Dakota Public Utilities Commission has set up a Web site that has helpful information about the upcoming sale of Alltel to AT&T. Since most of us in the Armour area use Alltel as our cell phone carrier (there’s a tower just 3 miles north of town), I thought it would be helpful to provide a link to the site.

Lawn Mower Races
The Crazy Racers from Pukwana will be in Armour at 6 p.m. Saturday, June 6, for a night of lawn mower racing. The event will be held out at the 4-H Grounds.
There are three classes of racers – Stock Class, Modified Class and Outlaw Class. Armour’s Raymond Bigge is a racer and this year has moved up to the Outlaw Class. He has a brand new mower and competition is really fierce. Aaron Punt of Armour will be making his racing debut in the Stock Class.
This is a fun event for the entire family. If you missed the races in Armour last year, be sure to attend this weekend. Refreshments, hot dogs and burgers will be sold. Come early for dinner and spend the evening!
The races will also be held in Armour on Saturday, July 25, with a dance following and Saturday, September 26.
I’ve added a new page to the site. Please note the Alumni tab on the top menu bar.
For now, the page will be used to assist Armour students in their study of technology. Second through eighth graders are writing to Armour alumni to inquire about their use of technology. The alums are being asked to visit the Armour site and post comments about how they use technology in their daily lives. Please visit the page and watch for new comments as alumni receive letters and e-mails from students.
The letters have been sent and we’re receiving comments already! Please click on the alumni tab at the top of the page to see what people have to say.
Please note that there are tabs on the top of this page that will help you navigate the site. I’ve just finished adding pages for the Lorain Theatre, Lions Park, Lake Alcazar, Pleasant Ridge Cemetery and Douglas County Museum complex.
If you click on the Lorain Theatre tab, you will be redirected to the page with a list of upcoming movies at the Lorain.
The History tab is home to information about the cemetery and museum.
The Recreation tab is home to information about Lions Park and Lake Alcazar.
Also note the two sidebars on the right side of the site under the picture. I’ve started a list of links to outside resources that are of interest to Armour residents and visitors.
Greetings. If you are looking for the Armour, South Dakota, Web site, you’ve come to the right place. I am in the process of re-building the site from the ground up. I’ve deleted the old site because I’m making changes that will make it easier to add information and make updates. This will be a learning process for me. Check back often as I will be adding the content from the old site as quickly as I can. – Susan
