My favorite season is here…SUMMER! There are so many fun things to do like taking a walk, riding bike, enjoying the sun on the beach, tending to my flowers, sitting by a fire eating s’mores and traveling with family and friends. I hope you take the time to enjoy the beauty of summer and make some family memories. Summer is a very busy time at American State Bank too!

JULY 2019

“ The Spirit of Us” The American Spirit Club traveled to Sioux Falls on a beautiful Saturday in June for a performance at the Washington Pavilion. Before the show we had a delicious lunch at Ode de Food & Drink located near the thriving 8th & Railroad Center of Sioux Falls. Our group was able to enjoy our meal in a private dining room on the 3rd floor with a beautiful view of Sioux Falls. After lunch we took a quick tour of Falls Park and saw the new concert venue, Levitt At the Falls. We were all impressed with the transformation of Downtown Sioux Falls. Then it was time for our main event, the Broadway musical, Les Miserables. This epic and uplifting story begins in 1815. It follows the lives and interactions of several characters, particularly the struggles of ex-convict Jean Valjean

and his experience of redemption. Through the conflict and the revolution, the theme of social injustice and even grace was observed. The Spirit Club Members were amazed by the extraordinary music, the talented cast and the marvelous sets. It was a wonderful day of entertainment, good food and time spent with friends.
