What started 37 years ago as a casual BBQ has evolved into a fun community event that hosts over 500 military families.
As a community, the Black Hills is proud to be the home of Ellsworth AFB and several South Dakota National Guard units. We are grateful for the selfless commitment our military members and families give in the defense of our freedoms. Each year, we take time at the Military Appreciation Event to recognize a handful of these Airmen and Soldiers for their outstanding achievements in both their career and community.
The Military Appreciation Event is hosted by a group of community members, businesses, the Black Hills Military Coalition, Elevate Rapid City and the South Dakota Ellsworth Development Authority.
