Sioux Falls Fire and Rescue was dispatched to perhaps the most unusual place one would think to make a daring rescue of a stranded swine on Thursday.

Nobody really knows how an area piglet ended up in the middle of a river, but nonetheless, a rescue operation was needed.

Just as they do when it comes to calls from humans, Sioux Falls Fire and Rescue sprang into action this week to assist the poor little piggy.

The video is everything you could ever hope for, as when the rescuers arrived; they got much more of a challenge and chase than they bargained for:

That's one fast little piggy! For some of us it brings back county, city, and/or state fair memories!

The best news of all is what came at the end of the video. The young pig is healthy, and currently being cared for by the Humane Society:

Haunted Locations and Scary Legends Around Sioux Falls

Halloween is steeped in scary traditions. Trick-or-Treating, frightening costumes, local actors in "haunted" houses, and the pitch-black darkness of area corn mazes.

However, if we set out to find the real haunted areas what would we find? Over the last 30 years that I have lived in Sioux Falls, a few locations still gain attention as being haunted.

And yes, a handful of thrill-seeking people will show up on our favorite eerie night for what could be a viral video moment or experience a misty phantom first-hand.
Let's take a little tour of the more famous hauntings around Sioux Falls. Turn on the lights and cue the Cowardly Lion: "I do believe in spooks, I do believe in spooks..."

What Was It like to Vacation in South Dakota’s Black Hills 60 Years Ago?

This time of year our thoughts often turn to planning that perfect getaway to enjoy the warmer weather and extended daylight.

For a lot of us in South Dakota, that means a trek to the Black Hills and all of the things they have to offer.

But vacationing in western South Dakota is hardly a new concept. People from all over the globe have been coming to the area for decades.
