I love it when people get creative when they take a simple fundraiser, Egg My Yard, and turn it into a
FUNdraiser. It looks like they re doing just that in Lake Andes South Dakota. I noticed on a recent Facebook post that Kristen Maynard had posted on the Lake Andes Area Buy/Sell/Trade page;
Egg My Yard! Let us take the Hassel out of your Easter Egg Hunt. We will hide candy filled plastic eggs in your Yard.
I thought this was a pretty neat idea. If Kristen and her friends worked here at the radio station, we would make sure she had a role in the Promotions Department. They took what can be a same old, same old fundraiser and put a timely Easter Twist on it.

Four South Dakota grocery stores are now offering participants of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) a chance to double up when they buy fresh fruits and vegetables.
Samantha Dvorak, SDSU Extension Family and Community Health Associate, says the “Double Up Dakota Bucks” program is aimed at helping those disproportionately affected by nutrition. She says families are able to stretch their SNAP food dollars with the purchase of healthy foods, while farmers sell more produce and local retailers get more business.
For every $1 spent on fresh fruits and vegetables, $1 is matched, up to $10 to $20 per customer, per visit. Participants can then return to the retailer to redeem Dakota Bucks for more fresh fruit and vegetable purchases.
