Just a few random thoughts from an inspiring weekend in this edition of the Post.

The weather was inspiring everyone to get out and shop on Saturday. Every business I went to in Sioux Falls seemed to be bursting at the seems with people. A few of my friends work in retail and were very happy to have customers back in the stores. I'm sure the Sioux Falls economy got a nice shot in the arm with the increase in business, thanks to Mother Nature

The human spirit was inspired Saturday night down in Tea at an event called "We Dig Doug". The event was a fundraiser for a gentleman by the name of Doug Lee. Doug was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer called Burkitt's Lymphoma. What was terrific about this event was the amount of people who stepped up to help out Doug and his family. The event included dinner, a silent auction, an auction for a Harley Davidson motorcycle and live music. Doug has already started the aggressive treatment of this cancer. But he didn't let the effects from that treatment keep him from attending. He lit up the crowd with his appearance and words of hope. All proceeds are going toward Doug and his family as he fights this disease. You can go to the following web site to help Doug and his family.
