A River Town with Spirit
Oct 14, 2016
Our November/December issue includes a story on the clever characters in Springfield. The Missouri River town has been through more highs and lows than most South Dakota communities, but the overall effect has not squelched the town’s spirit or creativity. South Dakota Magazine sent intern Chloe Kenzy, editor-at-large Bernie Hunhoff and his grandson, Steven, to visit the folks who help give Springfield its unique personality. Here are some of Hunhoff’s photos that didn’t make the magazine.
-
Ron Livingston carves art from the chalkstone of the Missouri River bluffs. -
Pioneers used Dakota chalkstone as a building stone a century ago. The soft texture makes it the perfect stone for carving. -
Cheryl Halsey creates art at her Blue Heron Studio on a farm north of Springfield. -
Halsey works in various mediums and methods, including jewelry, painted cylinders, sculpture, masks and paper. -
Dallas Schneider grows grapes and fruit on the east edge of Springfield. -
Schneider is a wine hobbyist who came to town to work at the state prison. -
In good years, the winery produces enough bottles for family and friends. He shares extra fruit with Springfield’s popular senior nutrition program. -
The Springfield Veteran’s Memorial lists names of veterans affiliated with the town and its residents.
