May 30: Family Fest Fun Cruise

June 1: Feeding kids

Classes are over for this school year, but there will be hungry kids when school starts up again. Hungry Hearts’ mission is to make sure local kids have access to hot lunches at school and the support they deserve. That’s why Hungry Hearts and Jesse Severson are hosting their first golf tournament at The Country Club of Sioux Falls, 3400 W. 22nd St. The four-person scramble will start at 1 p.m. Monday.

Coming up: June 6

When you reach 100 years, it’s time to celebrate. That’s why Sioux Falls Parks & Recreation will host the Elmwood Golf Course 100-year ParTee from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. June 6. There will be golf, yoga, live music, Fast Five fun and family-friendly entertainment. Yoga begins at 7 a.m. on the green overlooking the 18th hole. First Tee South Dakota coaches will lead Fast Five golf from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Play a nine-hole round of golf for $19.26, plus cart, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., with a centennial scramble at 1 p.m. and the Dalton Petersen Trio near the 18th hole.
