PBS Planning Britton Program

PBS Planning Britton Program

DATE CORRECTED!!! This event is Thursday, April 4.

South Dakota Public Broadcasting announced earlier this year that Britton has been chosen to be featured on their program “Dakota Life.” The series showcases interesting South Dakota people, places, and things. Ahead of the program, PBS will host a Community Conversation on April 4 from 1 p.m. - 5 p.m. at the Britton Event Center. 

Nathan Hofer, SDPB’s Director Of Community Impact, explained, “Our goal for the Community Conversations is to invite all members of the community to come and share their love for their home, whether it is for five minutes or for the whole time we are there. History, current events, aspirations, unique people, local landmarks….You name it, we want to hear about it!”

Hofer adds this is the information gathering stage before recording for the show takes place later. The ultimate goal is an episode of “Dakota Life” featuring Britton and the surrounding areas. “Our team takes what they learned from each community and pieces all of it together for our show, digital content, blogs, etc. so that we provide a comprehensive and positive view of the community,” emphasized Hofer.

Lawmakers say the goal is to ensure an ambulance can respond when someone calls 911, but establishing the regions and determining how they would be funded could take years. Do you support creating regional ambulance service systems with state oversight and potential state funding?
