The Lake Lorraine Farmers Market is entering its third season in 2021 and is the only farmers market in western Sioux Falls. Our vendors sell a variety of goods, from plants to seasonal vegetables to meat to baked goods and more! Different activities are also planned throughout the market season with some vendors making special appearances. Weekly from 4-7 p.m. on the east side of the lake. Parking is available in the lot south of Hobby Lobby.

Location: Carroll Institute, 310 South 1st Avenue

Strengthening Families is a 7-week program for families with students ages 10-14.

The program centers on strengthening communication and family bonds. Students also work on how to deal with peer pressure, and adults learn to set limits with their children, while still showing love.  The program begins October 7 and runs weekly for 7 weeks.

The evening starts at 5:30 pm with a meal where we come together and eat as families (meal included with program cost).  The youth and adults separate from 6:00-7:00 and work on areas more specific to them and then come back together as families from 7:00-8:00 to learn more about each other and have fun together!

Space is limited, so contact the Carroll Institute for more information about program fees and registration. You can reach Tiffany Butler at (605) 275-1304.
