With less than two months to go before the start of the 2024 State Highpointers Konvention from July 18^th to 20^th at the Best Western Ramkota, this year’s chairperson would like to share some reminders and updates.

First, the deadline for receiving the discounted Highpointers Club group rate of $139 per night at the Best Western Ramkota is June 1^st.  While rooms may still be available after this date, regular rates will apply.  Call the front desk at 1-605-343-8550 and mention that you are with the Club!

Second, we have an awesome T-shirt design for SD-24 and have contracted with a local shop in Rapid City.  The T-shirts will bemade in Las Vegas, so we need to have a little bit of lead time to ensure they arrive in Rapid City in time for the Konvention.  The initial order will be submitted on June 10^th so if you want your T-shirt guaranteed, be sure to register before Monday, 6/10.  Online registration here:

The final two items: The site of the Watermelon Feast on July 20^th has been moved from Sylvan Lake to Stockade Lake adjacent to the George Stockade, where we will have our own dedicated area.  Tour buses will leave the Ramkota at 10:30 AM and return at 3:30 PM.  Lastly, if you plan to attend the event at Crazy Horse Memorial on 7/18 at 4 PM, please send a quick email to southdakotakonvention2024@gmail.com to let us know.  See you all in the Black Hills!
