The Back 9 hosted a fall golf league this year from mid-Sept. to Nov. 22. There were teams made up of two males, two females, or one male-one female. At the end of the regular-season play, the teams were put together as four-person teams, depending on their results from the regular season. Then, the four-person teams played against each other in the tournament up to the championship, which was played Wednesday night, Nov. 22. 

The league champions of the men’s teams were Andy Krueger and Cayden Slykhuis. The league champions of the women’s teams were Sierra Swenson and Morgan Schmiedt. The couple’s champions were Rod and Tara Weber. The winners of the men’s/women’s end-of-the-season tournament were Erica Howard, Dayna Rodriguez, Collin Schmiedt and Jevon Goertz. The four-person team that won the couple’s end-of-the-season tournament was Jay and Deb Ball and Joel and Dawn Rassel. 

With the end of the fall league, the winter leagues can now begin. Men’s league started this week, and women’s league starts next week. There are always times available during the weekend hours on Saturday nights and Sunday afternoons to rent the bays. There are over 30 different games to play – not just golfing. There’s lots of fun for everyone.

Sanborn Central/Woonsocket FFA member Megan Linke has been given an honor fewer than one percent of those in the agriculture-related organization ever receive. She was among 41 South Dakota FFA members to earn the 2023 American FFA Degree. The degree is the highest award achievable from FFA and is given in recognition of the effort FFA members apply toward their supervised agricultural experience and the outstanding leadership abilities and community involvement they exhibited through their FFA career. Linke received her American Degree during the 96th Annual National FFA Convention in Indianapolis, Ind.

On Saturday, Nov. 25, Jaycee Baruth put her senior project into action with a Kids’ Country Christmas at her family’s farm. With everything in place for the 6B Seed and Supplies annual Christmas Tree Open House, Baruth had a perfect opportunity to take advantage of the great setup and scenery to make for a wonderful event.

The event was free to the public, and there were all kinds of activities for kids of all ages. She had different types of crafts, including painting and decorating a piece of wood to make into a Christmas decoration, a Christmas tree ribbon craft and others. She also set up a station for the kids to decorate their own cutout sugar cookies. 

In the barn, Baruth had a ping pong ball game, ring toss, and bean bags set up for the kids to play. She also had the petting zoo ready for the kids. Of course, it couldn’t be considered a kids’ Christmas event without a visit from Santa, who just happened to be there to listen to kids give their Christmas lists and for photo ops with the master of Christmas joy himself.

Baruth stated that the most difficult part of organizing these festivities was trying to get it all done while still trying to help her family with everything else they have to do for the Christmas tree and greenery open house. However, she said it was all worth it when stating “My favorite part of this project was seeing it all come together and getting to watch all the kids enjoy all the activities I had worked hard on. I loved being able to see the kids enjoy all the crafts, cookie decorating and seeing Santa. It made it all worth it when I got to see all the kids so happy.”
