South Dakota is a beautiful state and it is the land of cattle, black hills gold and the World's Only Corn Palace.
The World's Only Corn Palace...another sign along the freeway....another opportunity to see something unique. The original corn palace was built in 1892 and it has been going steadily since then. Each year the exterior of the building is re-done. The building has a facade made of corn cobs and there are mosaic-like pictures decorating the outside of the building and inside the building where there is a sports arena and all kinds of corn products. Popcorn, corn on the cob, corn dogs...you name it.
Cornelius is the Corn Palace mascot....another photo opportunity! This was a fun stop and if you are ever in the area and have the time....go for it!!
Another thing we found interesting was to see that candy cigarettes are still sold in South Dakota, and there are so many different packages....just like the real thing. I remember loving the candy cigarettes when I was little, but haven't thought about them or seen them for sale in years.

Spammy, the Spamettes and Cornelius, what a fun time. You couldn't have planned that ahead of time..lol...LOVE doing that kind of sightseeing. The Indian photo op looked fun too.

Did you make it to Wall Drug while you were going through South Dakota? Cate and I stopped there when we drove her u-haul from Portland to Chicago a few summers back. They have 5 cent coffee - perfect for Grandpa!
