Good morning, Sioux Falls.

South Dakotans are expected to set a record for Fourth of July travel as fireworks and events at Mount Rushmore and Rapid City promise a lively holiday.

AAA forecasts high road travel despite rising fuel and hotel costs and local officials anticipate a boost amid the nation’s 250th anniversary.

Pacsun opened its new store yesterday at Empire Mall, taking over the space by the food court left by lululemon’s relocation (lululemon moved to a larger space).

The store features a lighter, brighter design with trendy apparel and accessories aimed at younger shoppers.

Trina Lone Hill (Oglala Sioux Tribal Council member) said July 3 fireworks at Mount Rushmore offend Lakota as they downplay Black Hills ties; tribes are marking the 150th anniversary of the Battle of the Little Bighorn with a three-day event expected to draw up to 10,000 people this week.

Sioux Falls aerialists from Midwest Aerial Athletics earned Team USA spots at the USA qualifiers in Texas and will compete in Aruba this August and Australia next summer.

They will host a grand opening on July 19 — with live performances and open stations — and run USAAO qualifiers in November.
