So why does Chislic get its own festival?
Generations ago, Germans from Russia settled in the southeastern part of what is now South Dakota.
Along with these settlers came traditions that included their favorite foods. Meat, typically mutton or lamb, was cubed, placed on sticks, and fried.
People in the area have been enjoying variations of this traditional specialty ever since and decided they’d rather not keep it a secret.
More than 8,000 guests showed up in the town of just 1,300 residents for the first S.D. Chislic Festival.
Admission to the festival is free!

Man dies in crash with semi near Hot Springs
Fall River County, S.D. – A 26-year-old Hot Springs man died Friday in a collision with a semi-truck near Hot Springs, South Dakota.
Authorities have withheld the names of those involved pending notification of their families.
Preliminary investigation by the South Dakota Highway Patrol indicates the crash occurred on U.S. Highway 18 near mile marker 25. The driver of a 2003 Honda Accord was traveling eastbound, attempting to pass another vehicle in the same direction. While doing so, the driver lost control of the Honda, veered into the westbound lane, and collided with an oncoming semi.
The driver of the Honda, who was not wearing a seatbelt, was ejected from the vehicle and pronounced dead at the scene. The semi-truck driver was uninjured.
The South Dakota Highway Patrol is leading the investigation. Officials stress that all details released so far are preliminary and subject to change as the investigation continues.
