Listen to the Mavericks event to be held in Chamberlain

MITCHELL – A celebration of cultural entrepreneurship in South Dakota, Listen to the Mavericks, will be Sept. 7 in Chamberlain at Cedar Shore Resort.

Seven of South Dakota’s top fledgling entrepreneurs will be honored as the Magnificent Seven. They are Randy Golden, Springfield; John Humphrey, Lead; Brian Klock, Mitchell; Joe Kolbach, Gary; Scott Lively, Howard; Susie Macklem, Sioux Falls; Belva Matthews, Pine Ridge; Lance Neilsen (aka Angel Dean), Sioux Falls; and Jim and Nancy Schade, Volga.

Honorees were selected for their contributions to their local economies and culture, and their innovative risk taking.

Attendees will hear from the Magnificent Seven award winners. The luncheon will feature Bernie Hunhoff of South Dakota Magazine and Johnny Brockelsby, Reptile Gardens, highlighting tales of South Dakota entrepreneurship. The afternoon will consist of two panel discussions. One panel will cover the topic of identifying the entrepreneurs in your community, and the other will focus on helping your local entrepreneurs succeed.

This event is a joint project of the South Dakota Hall of Fame, South Dakota Magazine, Kilian Community College, McGovern Center for Leadership and Public Service and the Kelley Center for Entrepreneurship-Dakota Wesleyan University.

This event is sponsored by First Dakota National Bank.
