The verdict is in: COVID-19 cannot stop Wingapalooza.
Typically, Wingapalooza is a one-day extravaganza at the Corn Palace. When the pandemic hit in March, the event was postponed and eventually reformatted to be a two-month event with five participating locations in Mitchell running from Dec. 1 through Jan. 30. A $30 booklet can be purchased from the Chamber of Commerce or participating locations with five redeemable coupons for six wings.

Facing a deadly threat, health care workers defended and treated sick South Dakotans unlike ever before in 2020.
They were the people who treated the nearly 100,000 people who tested positive for COVID-19 and took care of more than 5,000 individuals who were hospitalized. Frontline health care workers were at the bedside of the 1,488 individuals who died as a result of the coronavirus, oftentimes alone.
