Sandhills Area Foundation

Sandhills Family Feud was held on October 23rd at the Fairgrounds and featured a delicious brisket dinner catered by Niobrara Valley Vineyards, drinks, a live auction and competitive rounds of Family Feud, Sandhills style! The event was a lot of FUN and raised over $20,000 for the grant and scholarship programs.  The Pollocks, Tooth and Nail, Water Works and Triple B's all bid to play Sandhills Family Feud and raised over $8,000.  The Pollocks won the tournament and The GRAND PRIZE which was a three-night stay in the Black Hills and a $500 gift card to Terry Peak Ski Area, donated by Dick and Lois Schneider and J.P. and Kimberly Johnson. They donated the trip back to be auctioned off, and it raised $3,500. THANK YOU to all who attended and made the evening one to remember! We appreciate your generosity and look forward to playing Sandhills Family Feud again next year.
