Anniversary Reunion Spotlight

Every year, along with the excitement of a new Class of inductees, we look forward to celebrating the annual Anniversary Reunion. The Inductee Anniversary Reunion is a special event during the Honors Ceremony for Anniversary Inductees to celebrate their stories and their continued legacies since their induction. This reunion serves as an opportunity for past dream chasers to greet the new inductees, and welcome this new class into the South Dakota Hall of Fame’s over 700 Inducted members.

Each Anniversary Inductee or family representative of a deceased inductee, along with their guests, are celebrated during the event. They receive an anniversary pin, along with information on how to continue to add to the inductee’s story of excellence to inspire, mentor, and lead future generations in South Dakota.

The 2020 Anniversary Reunion meetup was held virtually, and we are thrilled to have this meetup available for the public to watch at any time on our Youtube Channel. They will be celebrating in-person this September 10 & 11 at the 2020 Honors Ceremony.
