The History Channel is roaring into Sturgis next Monday, November 5.  Cast members from reality tv shows American Pickers and Pawn Stars traveled to the Rally last year. Their motorcycling adventures start at 8 p.m. Central/ 7 p.m. Mountain. See their promo here. 

Beef Bucks will take a few more spins on the big wheel soon, when the popular meat lovers’ gift card appears on Wheel of Fortune. The Beef Bucks concept was born at the kitchen table of Bob and Nancy Montross of De Smet back in 1997 as a way to support South Dakota agriculture. Tune in on November 13 and 15 and again on December 18 and 20 to see if a lucky contestant wins the delicious $1000 prize.

The Bucks’ November appearances occur in conjunction with the Wheel’s “Salute to Military Families Week.” Inspired by that idea, Beef Bucks organizers are giving $25 beef-buying cards as a housewarming gift to 10 veterans and their families who are being moved out of homelessness and into rental housing by the VA Supportive Housing program.
