On July 4, the famous Black Hills Passion Play will resume its summer performances in the large amphitheater at Spearfish. Because of the six-year interruption, this opening performance should be of great interest to everyone, particularly the people of the Black Hills.

The Federal Aviation Administration has appropriated money for the construction of an airport in Hulett. The airport will be located on a hill north of town. Since the airport in Sundance was closed, the county has been without an airport. Hulett residents feel an airport is needed, not only because of the economic benefits, but due to the access to medical facilities.
