Kevin Woster column highlights Trail of Governors

Last week, Kevin Woster and I took a walk along the Trail of Governors in Pierre. Kevin wrote a great article about the Trail, which was posted this morning on the South Dakota Public Broadcasting website:

Tony Venhuizen admits he’s not much of a hiker.

But a hike through history on the Trail of Governors in Pierre? That’s right in his comfort zone. It’s in his knowledge zone, too.

“I’ve walked it several times,” says Venhuizen, a lawyer, historian and Republican state representative from Sioux Falls. “Once the whole trail was done last year, my kids and I walked the whole thing and took a picture of each one and made a photo book of each sculpture.”

They’re well worth a hike, and a snapshot or two along the way.

I really appreciate Kevin using his platform and talent to highlight the Trail in this way, and I’d encourage you to read the entire column here.
