Every year tourism professionals gather in Pierre for the annual South Dakota Governor’s Conference on Tourism. At the event, as marketing director, I get to meet with retail business professionals and avid readers alike. This year I learned about new advertising venues, gave away our celebrated book Love Letters from Mount Rushmore, and had an interesting conversation with some of Deadwood Alive’s most colorful characters about our amazing authors and illustrators.
