Thoughts from South Dakota

• “One criterion for my painting is to present the cultural life and activities of the Sioux Indians; dances, ceremo- nies, legends, lore, arts … It is my greatest hope that my paintings may serve to bring the best thing of Indian culture into the modern way of life.” - Oscar Howe, artist, Joe Creek

• “The highest patriotism is not a blind acceptance of of- fi cial policy, but a love of one’s country deep enough to call her to a higher plain.” - George McGovern, politi- cian, Avon

• “No individual is alone responsible for a single stepping stone along the path of progress, and where the path is smooth progress is most rapid.” - Ernest Lawrence, scien- tist, Canton

Where Great Conventions Happen

A

berdeen, South Da- kota’s 2008 Commu-

nity of the Year! There IS a reason why. Affordable rates, great shopping, at- tractions, special tours and friendly, professional people are why meeting planners love Aberdeen. And, our customers tell the story: “ I’ve had many people tell me this was the best conference they have been to.” Kim Markley, SD Assessing Offi cers. Picture how great you will feel as we take the worry out of hosting your group. Our four convention and meeting facilities have over 49,250 sq. ft. of meeting space, with smaller meeting facilities through- out the city. Fun activities such as a group social in a majestic castle, touring Storybook Land and Land of Oz, or step- ping back in time while visiting a local Hutterite Colony mean one of a kind ex- periences for your convention attendees. Let the Aberdeen Convention and Visi- tors Bureau be your guide to a great con- vention experience in Aberdeen, SD, the “Land of Oohs and Oz!”
