Faith, South Dakota doesn’t likely have a lot going on.
As the state’s 135th largest city, it boasts a population of just over 400.
The median age is 40 years, the average household income’s $51,069.
Median monthly rent is $294, and the median house value sits at $87,000.
Oh, and the high school has an annual Slave/Branding event.
So there’s that.
Although, that last item recently garnered attention.
Set for April 26th, the auction run by the Rodeo Club has been held for decades.
How it works: A member of the club is “auctioned” off to a rancher in order to provide a few days’ labor. The bid serves as a donation to the school.

Club members are auctioned off to serve the highest bidder
A rodeo club in Faith, South Dakota, canceled its Slave/Branding Auction, a fundraising event, following a social media backlash over its name, which was described as racist and derogatory.
The Faith High School Rodeo Club had initially planned the annual event, which included a pancake supper and a pie auction, for April 26 at Legion Hall in Faith, the Argus Leader reported. Slave Auctions have existed in several communities in South Dakota for over a decade. The concept is that the club members are auctioned off to serve/do chores for the highest bidders in exchange for a donation.
