South Dakota 2017 Cracker Barrel/Legislative Coffee Schedule

​During the legislative session, members of the South Dakota State Legislature return to their home districts to report to their constituents about issues of the current session. Several legislative coffees or cracker barrel events are held throughout the state.  Usually legislators answer questions posed by constituents in a moderated format and there is also an opportunity for constituents to speak directly with their legislators after the session. The events are open to the public and it is a great time for South Dakota animal advocates to meet their elected representatives!
