New Holland makes donation to American Red Cross during Dakotafest

Dakotafest enthusiasts may have flocked to Mitchell Thursday in search of South Dakota producers, food vendors and politicians, but the American Red Cross decided it, too, would join the farm festivities – and parked its ERV right, smack next to the tractors and construction equipment. The Red Cross’s ERV – Emergency Response Vehicle – was brought to Mitchell’s Dakotafest by Leonard Dankey and Dale Bosch, Red Cross volunteers from Sioux Falls.

Red Cross raffle winners announced

March is American Red Cross Awareness Month and the local chapter drew winners for its latest fundraiser – one with a little more power behind it. There were 119 raffle tickets sold for a Yamaha Grizzly 350 four-wheeler, with the winner coming all the way from Washington state to retrieve it. The drawing was made at the March meeting of the local chapter and Kerry Griffith, of Dryden, Wash., who purchased 10 raffle tickets online, won the four-wheeler, valued at $6,000.
