When I was in high school, I played a lot of golf at Lake Region Golf Course, a pretty ninehole course near Lake Poinsett. It featured few water hazards and no sand traps, but there was a barber pole on the long par-5 fifth hole. Golfers had to stay to the left as they navigated the dogleg right, otherwise it was a penalty. I always thought was a quirky feature. Then a few years ago we did a story on some of South Dakota’s most unusual golf courses, and I discovered far more idiosyncrasies on the links all over the state.

This year Strengthening Our Community invites you to celebrate Silly Sock Day on May 12. Silly Sock Day was commemorated in 2019 as a fun way to bring awareness to the topic of Mental Wellness. Talking about mental health makes it more acceptable for those experiencing mental health challenges to seek help and get on the road to recovery. It improves communities by promoting awareness and reducing stigma. In addition, mental health does not just involve mental illness, but it also involves maintaining a positive state of wellbeing. Show your support of mental health awareness on May 12 by wearing silly socks or gifting a pair of socks. Both silly socks or SOC Suicide Prevention socks are available for purchase at Lavender Lane. By gifting someone a pair of socks on this day, it means “you are cared about and you are not alone” just as a sock creates comfort and comes in pairs. Also, show us how you support mental health awareness by posting a picture or comment, #sillysocday, on Facebook @SOCWAGNER
