Rally for the Rush!

This weekend, the Rush will battle the Laredo Bucks in a showdown Friday and Saturday nights, at 7:05pm. And as we all know, sometimes our favorite sports team needs a bit of a nudge from all of us supportive fans in the stands. Ok, so let’s call it more than a nudge…let’s call it a full on RALLY. After a couple of rough losses, the Rush need all of their fans to come out in full force and support them this weekend. Having energetic, loud fans in the stands can be one of the most helpful remedies for a wavering team. So let’s make it happen!

Plus, students who have an “A” on a valid report card are eligible for a free ticket to the Friday or Saturday night’s game, with the purchase of a parental ticket! There’s never been a better reward for hitting the books. Grab a friend, your report card and your parent, and head to the Ice Arena Friday and Saturday nights.

Still need more incentive to come out and support our hard working team? The Rush will be giving away free Coach Ferris bobble head dolls to the first 1,500 fans that get to the game on Friday night. It’s the perfect souvenir to commemorate a season full of action-packed, edge of your seat entertainment.

Sure, the Rush have hit a rough patch, but that doesn’t mean we’ve reached the end. Let’s all rally together to show our team just have supportive we are. After all, we’ve been named the Best Fans in the CHL, right? And don’t forget, if you’re looking to entertain a crowd with an experience they’ll never forget, there are still Suites available for Friday night. Contact Priscilla at 394-4115! We can’t wait to see everyone at this weekend’s games, as the Rush do “Whatever It Takes” to come out on top!

And don’t forget about the Counts Car Show taking place this Friday through Sunday. Dedicated to their slogan of “Fun With Cars,” the event will showcase dozens of vehicles in every imaginable make, model, and year. Many members of the Counts Car Club are experienced with building a rod or machine from the ground up, and are able to offer advice or assistance to anyone beginning the hobby. It’s the perfect event to enjoy with your family, before you head to the Rush game!

‘Eventful’ is an Understatement!

It’s time to dust off our boots, hang up our hats, and take a moment to reflect on our biggest and best Black Hills Stock Show and Rodeo ever!  An all-time attendance record was set last week, with over 333,000 individuals visiting our facility and community. Our largest single day ever occurred on Saturday, February 4th, with over 65,000 attendees! Numbers like this are only possible because of the dedication of the Rushmore Plaza Civic Center staff, as well as the entire Rapid City community joining together to support the Black Hills Stock Show and Rodeo. For that we thank you all, and look forward to another great turnout in 2013!
