We wrapped up a series last Friday, the Daily DEX. A daily feature hearing from users of the beef barn complex on the SD State Fairgrounds and addressing the need to contribute to the Discover the Dex campaign drive of 4 million dollars. Part of that goal will include naming rights to the Dakota Events Complex, Jim White, chairman of the Discover the Dex committee, said they are close to announcing that named donor.
Additional funding amounts are 3 million dollars from the beef barn complex destroyed by fire October 31 last year. Plus 12 million dollars in one time funding from the State of South Dakota that will need legislative approval.
We continue with the 10 day series the Daily Dex. Governor Noem proposed a 12 million dollar one time money offering that would be combined with 3 million dollars from insurance of the lost beef barn complex, destroyed by fire on October 31st last year. With 4 milion dollars from statewide users and contributors for the proposed Dakota Events Complex, knicknamed the DEX. Today we hear from Judy Stevens of Huron who talks about her families years of experiences at the old beef complex.

A 10 day pledge drive for a 4 million dollar local and statewide amount to match additional amounts of 15 million dollars for the planned Dakota Events Complex is underway. The DEX would replace the beef complex on the SD State Fairground lost to a fire last year.
