National trappers coming to South Dakota for first time
South Dakota has historic roots in the trapping industry – once part of a lucrative and vast territory rich with beaver, bison and other valuable animal pelts.
Despite that history, the state has never hosted a National Trappers Association convention.
That changes this month when the group holds its annual gathering in Sioux Falls from July 24-27, with thousands of people expected to attend. The convention takes place at the W.H. Lyon Fairgrounds, kicking off the evening of July 24 with a concert by cowboy comedian Kip Attaway at the fairgrounds Show Ring.
This is the group’s 65th convention.
