UMMER ISSUE<br />
WWelcome to the inaugural<br />
issue of Mélange Black Hills!<br />
Kim and I have been dreaming and<br />
toiling for nearly a year to bring this<br />
project to life and we couldn’t be more<br />
excited to deliver it into your hands.<br />
We live here. We love it here. And that<br />
is what Mélange is all about—celebrating<br />
the unique mix of art, adventure, cuisine, and<br />
community events that make life in the forested<br />
mountains of South Dakota so sweet. Every season we’ll bring<br />
you stories exploring the best eats, the most interesting<br />
places and ways to play, and generally immerse you in the art<br />
and adventure of mountain life.<br />
In this issue, we’re on a mission to help you seize the summer<br />
season with zeal unparalleled and hunt down every last<br />
opportunity to soak up each sun-drenched moment. From<br />
slackening and rock climbing to ice cream and picnics, we’ve<br />
got loads of ideas to help you pack your summer with all the<br />
fun our region has to offer. (In case you hadn’t noticed, there’s<br />
a lot.)<br />
We’re a celebration of Black Hills life, and we’re here for you:<br />
we write every word with you in mind. Stories to inspire you,<br />
excite you, and get you OUT THERE! There’s so much fun to<br />
be had and so little time… so get going! <strong>Summer</strong> won’t last<br />
forever.<br />
P.S. While you’re out there, stop in and say hi to our<br />
advertisers. We write for you. But we’re here, and we’re<br />
free, because of them. Let them know you appreciate their<br />
support of our community. And be sure to find us online and<br />
on Facebook for even more inspiration.<br />
