South Dakota 4-H’s Operation: Military Kids seeks photos for new contest
BROOKINGS, S.D. – The South Dakota Cooperative Extension Service seeks photography from military children for a new contest.
South Dakota 4-H’s Operation: Military Kids program is a co-sponsor of a photography contest for military children ages 6-18. Under the theme of “Capturing Patriotic Moments,” children are invited to submit photos in two categories, family moments and service members.
Approximately 15 photos will be selected for the Operation: Military Kids traveling photo exhibit, which will tour South Dakota. Winners will be announced in May.
The South Dakota National Guard Family Readiness Office is cosponsoring the contest. April marks a national month-long celebration of the children of military service members.
South Dakota Cooperative Extension 4-H/Youth Development Specialist Kathryn Reeves said this photo contest gives kids a chance to document the inspirational moments happening around them as part of military families.
An Oacoma man died as a result of a single vehicle rollover crash 6.5 miles east of Chamberlain on I-90.
John Christensen, 86, of Oacoma was eastbound on I-90 when he lost control of his vehicle. Frost on the road may have contributed to the crash. Christensen’s 1985 Ford pick-up went in to the median and rolled over. Christensen was not wearing a seatbelt at the time of crash and died at the scene. Christensen was the lone occupant of the Ford pick-up.
The crash remains under investigation by the South Dakota Highway Patrol. No further information on the crash is available at this time.
