Mixologist of the Month
Heidi Schulz What’s your Beam Drink of Choice? I love the Japanese Gari Highball. It’s refreshing with great nods of whiskey and ginger. How Large is the Whiskey Collection? We have approximately 800 bottles of whiskey and around 300 other spirits, including tequila, gin, rum, vodka, and other cordials.
What Inspired You to Get into this Industry? I love talking to people and fast paced environments. I love getting to provide a positive experience for customers and share my passion for whiskey and cocktails. What’s Something People Should Know About Windsor Block Bar? Jeane Henrichsen, who is one of our owners, studied architecture at Yale University and designed the bar. I love all the details she thought of and trinkets throughout the space. What’s your Favorite Part about Rapid City? It’s a great mix of city living and outdoor recreation, while still getting that small town South Dakota sense of community. What’s the Most Popular Drink? The Black is the New Orange is my personal favorite. What’s your Favorite South Dakota Experience? The Black Hills in the summertime will always be my favorite. I love how easy it is to experience the great outdoors.

Hang Out With Olivia Wulff

“ The Bramble Park Zoo has been a major attraction in Watertown since 1912, and moved into our current location in 1940,” said Olivia Wulff , zookeeper and registrar. Resting upon 15 acres, the expansive zoo offers a “come closer” experience to a wide variety of species of exotic animals, from kangaroos and otters, to lemurs and a tiger, and many critters in between. “The Bramble Park Zoo is passionate about educating the public on the importance of natural and exotic wildlife that call the zoo home, and their wild counterparts,” explained Wulff.
Wulff carries a multitude of roles under her belt.
Her position as a zookeeper involves providing primary care to kangaroos, wolves, and coyotes, while her duties as registrar involve recording notes, observations, and medical records. Wulff works alongside Bramble Park’s consulting veterinarian, Dr. Andrea Hennen , to aid in caring for sick or injured animals. “I love the variety and complexity of my job,” expressed Wulff. “I’m truly living the dream every day that I get to care for these amazing creatures.”
Get to know Wulff and where she spends her time outside of the zoo fences.

Five Exotic Facts about Wulff wulff
One
My daughter is the light of my life. I’m proud to call her my “mini-me.” She’s very fond of the zoo’s striped skunk, which has been a great addition to our ambassador animal collection.
Two
I own two cats and two dogs, which has been the least amount of pets I’ve had in my adult life. I’ve always been surrounded by animals, ever since I was a little kid.
Three
Ironically, my husband is an avid hunter, and I enjoy hunting as well. We both hold a deep respect for animals, and we primarily eat venison in our household.
Four
My 2024 resolution is to partake in things that bring me joy.
Five
My favorite holiday is Christmas, but it’s closely followed by Halloween. I always dress up for Halloween no matter the theme or occasion.

After Hours
The zoo is my favorite place to be in Watertown. You’ll often find me here on my days off or after work walking around and taking pictures of the animals with my family. I love seeing the animals from the guests’ perspective. Walks Along the Shore Stokes-Thomas City Park & Campground is a great place to walk along Lake Kampeska . I enjoy taking my family and our dogs to walk along the beach or stay for an event, like live music or Cookin’ on Kampeska . Summer Nights
I love visiting the Foundation Plaza downtown, especially for Thursday Night Live —a live music event hosted every Thursday evening throughout the summer. Bring your chair and some cash for the local vendors serving food and drinks. You’ll often find me sitting with my family enjoying a cold beer from Watertown Brewing Company and a delicious hotdog from Dempsey’s Proper Hot Dog Co. “ The city of Watertown has exceeded my expectations, and I enjoy living in such an upbeat and ever- changing community.” Olivia Wulff
THE ROAD TRIP ISSUE may 2024
CULTURE + ENTERTAINMENT
Family Outings I enjoy taking my family on walks at Pelican State Park , which is located just outside of Watertown. The paved roads and grassy paths make hiking easy with a stroller or off-roading with dogs. The pollinator gardens are a great place to see natural wildlife. Finally, there are various amenities like a playground, picnic shelters, and restrooms that make the park comfortable and easily accessible. Tourist Destination The Redlin Art Center is a popular destination right off of the interstate featuring artwork from Terry Redlin . There are trails located outside of the center that are great for dog walks. Splish Splash My daughter, Lyla , loves the water, so we frequent the Watertown Family Aquatic Center . I’m fond of the zero-depth pool where it’s safe for toddlers to splash around in. Early Riser Before I had my daughter, I loved attending early morning workout classes at Prairie Lakes Wellness Center . They offer a wide variety of fun, upbeat classes like Body Pump , Barre , Turbo Kick , and more.
The Bramble Park Zoo is accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums ( AZA ). Did you know?

“ We aim to provide
the best standard of care possible to every animal at the zoo.” Olivia Wulff
A Local Staple Dempsey's Brewery Restaurant & Pub is my favorite local restaurant in town. They have amazing pizza, and my favorite is the CSBA with chicken, spinach, bacon, and alfredo sauce. What’s the Buzz? The Bramble Park Zoo partnered with Watertown Brewing Company to raise funds for a new gray wolf habitat. We created a Kölsch -style brew, Bramble Buzz , made with honey from the zoo’s beehive. With every pint of Bramble Buzz sold, a dollar is donated Dr. Andrea Hennen, who owns Glacial Lakes Veterinary Clinic , and her staff have become an inspiration of mine. I’ve been licensed under Dr. Hennen for 10 years, and I continue to serve as a certified veterinarian tech (CVT) for her when I can. FOR MORE INFORMATION, VISIT BRAMBLEPARKZOO.

605 ROAD TRIP
Watertown
For this year’s road trip, the 605 team hopped into our Sprinter Van , Vincent Van-Go , and traveled to Watertown for the 11th Annual Cookin’ on Kampeska . Over the three-day event, visitors gather together to experience live music, local cuisine, and family-friendly activities. Throughout our trip, the team was ecstatic to explore what Watertown had to offer with its unique food, drink, and entertainment options. An Upclose Experience Our first stop in Watertown was the Bramble Park Zoo to partake in the VIP experience. We were greeted by zoo director Dan Miller as we hopped onto his golf cart, and began our journey to our first exhibit. Our short ride led us to Linus , the sloth. Here we met up with zoo keeper, Olivia Wulff , who took us behind the scenes.
As we stepped into Linus’s enclosure, everyone took their rightful turn to pet him, and some of us even received little kisses from the sluggish tree- dweller, which in my opinion was the best part of the trip. We met the zoo’s camel, Bobby Sue , and here 605’s Alana and John Snyder and Cailyn Patterson stepped right up to feed Bobby Sue her lunch. Our final exhibits included meeting the North American River Otters , Don , Baro , and Monty , the American Black Bears , Yoni , and Hailey , and the Snow Leopard , Maddie . The rest of our visit was filled with taking advantage of the photo opportunities the zoo has to offer.

Popular Pretzels We piled back into our van and headed to fill our rumbling bellies at Oh Baby O’s . The soft pretzel shop has become a Watertown staple. The local eatery offers a wide variety of menu items like pizzas, pretzel bites, hot dogs, and sweet desserts. As we munched on our array of dishes, Oh Baby O’s began to fill up with hungry customers on their lunch break. We saw how popular the shop has become since opening 20 years ago. Downtown Delights After satisfying our hunger, we headed towards downtown Watertown to meet with Lindsay Stangl , director of marketing for Visit Watertown . The team trickled into Gather —a coffee and gift shop that has become a classic stop for everyday coffee addicts, foodies, and shoppers. We ordered an afternoon pick-me-up before sitting down and chatting with Stangl, who led us to more downtown shops: AMJ Style , 1906 Boutique and Salon , Makepeace Jewelers , Watertown Confectionery/Ghost Town Winery , and Hot Mamma Mack’s . Hot Mamma Mack’s specializes in ready-made freezer meals, homemade salsa, spicy pickles, and more. Recently the storefront has become a station for South Dakota State University Ice Cream —a true South Dakota treat. Next, we headed to Foundation Plaza , which allows locals to bring their kids to the new Splash Pad .

Escape the everyday hustle and find the opportunity to get lost in a moment. The kind that’s genuinely family approved. With less “are we there yet” and more “can we do that again?”. Whether it’s the first visit, or the annual road trip, these are the moments where life is good – really good. Where slow travel is the norm. So why not pack your bags? Let Rapid City become your favored retreat.

Kampeska: Night One Our next stop was The Prop —a family-friendly pub resting along the banks of Lake Kampeska . A unique aspect of The Prop is the ceiling covered in business cards and signed dollar bills, so of course 605 Magazine had to be a part of this long-time tradition. After our filling meal, the team headed to the first night of the annual Cookin’ on Kampeska . The three-day event consists of live music, a friendly cooking competition, and bouncy houses for kids. Alana, John, Cailyn, and I wandered around Stokes- Thomas Lake City Park , taking in the action and talking with locals. We listened to the music of The Johnny Holm Band before loading our van back up and heading back to My Place Hotel to get some shut-eye.

A Hauntingly Good Time The next morning, 605’s Greta Smith joined us as we headed to our first stop of the day: Backroads Coffee House & Lunchboxx . The staff welcomed and served us an abundance of food and drinks. What our team enjoyed most was the beverage flight with three of Backroads' signature drinks: Cookies and Cream Cold Brew , S'mores Latte , and Ultra Violet . We left with drinks in hand and headed to the building in the heart of downtown, The Goss Opera House . Jamie Mack , executive director, guided us through the facility. The Goss Opera House serves the town as an event space for concerts, weddings, and corporate events. Mack told us of the legendary ghost story of traveling performer, Maud , who burned to death in a boarding room in 1936. We continued our tour, but not before John told us of hearing a whisper in his ear, where we stressed it was the ghost. He, to this day, believes it was one of our staff members, who were nowhere near him at the time of said whisper. As our tour concluded, we wandered into Maude’s Mercantile , the neighboring boutique full of goods and wondrous curiosities.

A Nosh & a Cut The 605 team met up with the rest of the Visit Watertown team at Harry’s Haircuts Bar & Grill to catch up and enjoy comradery. Harry’s, a family-friendly sports bar, serves a large selection of hamburgers, in-house smoked wings, salads, wraps, nachos, tacos, and appetizers. On top of the extensive food menu, the bar hosts 36 beers on tap and a full liquor bar. But what most visitors don’t expect is that you can get a fresh haircut during your visit. In the same building is an upscale hair salon specializing in men’s haircuts and beard trims. John was eager to get a haircut, so as our team sat munching on appetizers and sipping on a flight of beers, John was getting a fresh new 'do. Kampeska: Night 2 We stopped for dinner at The Sandbar —a restaurant nestled on the shore of Lake Kampeska. As we waited for our meal, Greta and I walked around in the water, while Cailyn desperately tried to lure a seagull her way. Once we headed back out for the second night of Cookin' on Kampeska, we spent time roaming around, checking out the People’s Choice Chislic Competition , and watching the KXLG Radio Boat Parade . A line of boats soared across the water while families watched, played in the water, and enjoyed live music from Breaking Bob .

Killing Karaoke Next, we headed back to Harry’s for a night of karaoke. Located above the main floor is a speakeasy atmosphere with a stage, full bar, and arcade games. Greta, Cailyn, John, Alana, and I all took the stage, performing a song or two for the small group of customers in the bar. The night ended with a jam session on the way back to the hotel, celebrating a successful road trip.
Breakfast Bites One more stop remained on our itinerary: Wheel Inn Café . The family restaurant is open seven days a week, serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The staff prides itself on good service and home-cooked food. We sat down with Stangl and ordered a hearty breakfast. Once we finished our plates of eggs, sausage, bacon, and pancakes, the team said “see you soon” to Stangl before heading back to Sioux Falls. FOR MORE INFORMATION, GO TO VISITWATERTOWNSD. COM+

605 TRIES
During the annual Cookin’ on Kampeska event, hundreds of locals and visitors gather together for a sizzling good time. Hosted against the picturesque backdrop of Lake Kampeska , the event offers three days of sunshine, food, activities, and entertainment for all ages. “The overall goal of this event is three-fold: to create a signature summer event for Watertown, emphasizing Lake Kampeska and its family-friendly features, and providing activities that elevate the quality of life experience in our community,” stated Tim Sheehan , CEO and president of the Watertown Area Chamber of Commerce .
The festivities kick off on Thursday evening and last
through Saturday. Throughout the event, check out music from local musicians, food trucks, activities for the whole family, and more. Throughout Friday and Saturday, there are two People’s Choice food competitions where patrons can cast their votes to crown a winner. During a warm July evening, the 605 team headed to Stokes- Thomas Lake City Park to Cookin’ on Kampeska’s opening night. The first night is centered around local music, earning the title of Thursday Night Live on Lake Kampeska .

SATURDAY: PORK BACKYARD BBQ COMPETITION AND ECLISPE
“Thursday evening is family-friendly, hosting a plethora of activities for kids to run around and enjoy, like bounce houses and the onsite playground, while parents can lounge and listen to the scheduled band,” said Sheehan. Sprawled across a grassy knoll were lawn chairs seating adults with beverages in hand, enjoying conversation and bopping along to the music of The Johnny Holm Band . “Cookin’ on Kampeska typically switches gears in the evening,” explained Sheehan. “It’s more adult leaning with a major focus on live music.” We used this opportunity to familiarize ourselves with the event, capture photos and videos, and chat with locals. Our team gathered at our self-titled “home base” by the stage to watch kids and adults show off their best dance moves. On Friday, there are plenty of activities for patrons to partake in. Kids can enjoy inflatables and balloon art in the kids' clubhouse. The main event of Friday night, though, is the People’s Choice Chislic Competition . “With the help of our sponsors, each participating team is provided 30 pounds of beef roast that they cube, season, and prepare for more than 1,000 hungry taste testers,” shared Sheehan.

BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE SOUTH DAKOTA OFFICE OF HIGHWAY SAFETY
YOU'VE GOT SOMEPLACE TO BE
BUCKLE UP FOR A DRIVER'S ED REFRESHER We've all got someplace to be this season. The only way to get there is by driving safely. This quick refresher will ensure you, your passengers and everyone else on the road has a safer summer.
So, sit down, strap in and listen up. No pencil required.
STAY IN YOUR LANE
We're kickin' it old school to teach an important lesson — that there's no finish line when it comes to safe driving. Following the rules of the road should last a lifetime. You've been navigating South Dakota's streets and highways for years now, but let's be honest, we could all use a refresher. Traffic laws evolve, road conditions change and bad habits are born every day. These tips will help you polish your skills and make you a more confident and safer driver — just in time for summer. GOING BACK TO BASICS
Keep an eye on the lines and stay in your lane whenever you make a turn. Left turns should always be made into the left lane, closest to the center line. And all right turns should be made into the right lane, closest to the curb.
They've got someplace to be. Someplace important. Always move over to the right lane, then slow down or stop when emergency vehicles with flashing lights and sirens drive by. This includes ambulances, the fire department and police. PULL OFF FOR EMERGENCY SERVICES
WATCH FOR ROAD WORK
Road construction and summer go hand in hand. But work zones aren't there just to make your drive a hassle. Crew members are working to improve the roads and make your drive a better one. Make sure you always slow down and stay alert in work zones.
GET THE FULL PICTURE
Checking your mirrors is important, but they don't show everything. Make sure you shoulder check before lane changes and turns. A quick glance over your shoulder can eliminate all blind spots and make your drive a safer one.
No one likes a tailgater. The easiest way to keep a safe following distance is by obeying the three-second rule. This gives you enough time to react to the car in front of you. LEAVE ENOUGH SPACE
LOOK FOR FLASHING LIGHTS
Always proceed with caution. Drivers with yellow flashing lights have the right of way through intersections but should always slow down and look both ways. Drivers with red flashing lights? Treat it like a stop sign. Come to a full stop and advance when it's safe to do so.
CULTURE + ENTERTAINMENT
Attendees looking to participate in the contest receive a ballot to cast their vote for the team they believe served the best meat. 605’s Alana Snyder , Cailyn Patterson , Greta Smith , and I wandered around the campground, taking in the decorated tents of the participants. “These teams also enter their meat into the judged portion of the event for a second chance to win,” added Sheehan. Once the competition was coming to a close, we met back up with 605’s John Snyder to sit along the water and watch the upcoming KXLG Radio Boat Parade . The parade is made up of decorated boats from participating local businesses, showcasing the appreciation and love they hold for Lake Kampeska. We watched boats glide across the water as the sun was setting before making our way back to the entrance. Just as we were about to hop into our van, we witnessed a car driving out of the lake. The team was intrigued, yet confused by this phenomenon, until John approached the driver to ask how this was possible. We learned it was an Amphicar , which is a portmanteau of "amphibious" and "car.”
“THERE’S SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE! WHETHER IT'S A BABY, YOUR GRANDPARENTS, OR ANYONE IN BETWEEN, THEY'LL HAVE A GREAT TIME.” Tim Sheehan

And the Winner Is...
Friday night's festivities ended with a performance from Breaking Bob . On Saturday, Cookin’ on Kampeska began bright and early with a half marathon at 7 a.m. and a 5K run at 9 a.m., but at 10 a.m. it was all about the kids, Sheehan shared. “The kids have the chance to enjoy the Little Miss and Mister Kampeska Contest , Kids Magical Experience , face painting, balloon art, and more,” he added. Kids aged 6 to 12 have the chance to participate in the Kids Que , competing to see who can grill and garnish the best hot dog. “We want to encourage the love of barbecuing to the next generation,” said Sheehan. The youth competition leads right into the second contest of the day— the People’s Choice Pork Competition . As with the chislic contest, participants receive 30 pounds of pork shoulder roast that will be tasted by the hungry crowd.
