Good morning, Sioux Falls.

Today, St. Francis House is holding a designer handbag auction — featuring new and gently used purses from brands like Coach and Louis Vuitton — to raise funds for feminine hygiene products for its female guests.

Bidding closes at 5 PM and winners will be notified on May 1 before picking up their items that day.

Sioux Falls Ford Lincoln is offering employee pricing on almost all new Ford and Lincoln vehicles through May—this means buyers pay the same as a factory worker or less when buying from the dealership.

The deal also includes $3,000 off XLT F-150s and Ford Escapes plus special lease deals on select models.

Sioux Falls Police say Shalene Ball (35-year-old) was found safe last Thursday in the St. Paul area after officials worked with the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension and West St. Paul Police to locate her.

The event celebrated those who shaped the state's rock legacy while preserving its local music history.

Motorists heading west on I-90 in Brandon face a detour as the westbound off-ramp at Brandon exit 406 will close beginning May 5 for work on a diverging diamond interchange project—drivers must use exit 410 and follow the detour south to County Road 138.

The closure will remain until late June as part of a larger $41.3 million project expected to finish by June 2026—efforts that include completing remaining ramps and upgrading the eastbound bridge.

Sioux Falls announced two zones for its 35th annual NICE/KEEP project that lets residents place items like tires or mattresses on the curb for pickup by city workers—one zone is bounded from 26th Street north to 33rd Street south and from Southeastern Avenue west to Veterans Parkway east while the other runs from Russell Avenue north to 18th Street south and from Interstate 29 west to West Avenue east, with the project running until May 2.
