After what feels like the longest winter ever, sunshine and warm weather have finally descended upon the region. There’s nothing like summer in the Black Hills! As a parent, the season is a great opportunity to spend quality time with your kids while school is out. But it also poses some challenges—namely, keeping them entertained so they don’t utter that cry moms and dads know all too well: “I’m bored!”

Our summer issue of Black Hills Parent magazine has arrived, filled with informative articles and handy tips. You’ll meet a family who combined a passion for food and family and launched a professional catering business; learn about five amazing nurses going above and beyond the call of duty to provide exceptional care for patients and their families; find information on appropriate digital devices for kids of different ages; and lots more!

Black Hills Parent was launched in 2012 and is one of our most popular publications. Released four times a year, each issue is dedicated to enriching the lives of families across western South Dakota by providing a mix of relevant, engaging content that celebrates the joys of parenthood and offers information on raising healthy, well-balanced children. Over 3,000 copies are mailed to local families and another 7,000 are distributed to schools, libraries, daycare centers, restaurants, health care providers, gyms, retailers, and coffee shops.
