Organizers of the first South Dakota Chislic Festival in Freeman had some ideas of how many people to expect, but they guessed low.
Spokesman Josh Hofer says they were surprised and pleased…..

The final estimate was a crowd of about eight thousand for the Saturday event.
Hofer says they tried to serve everyone who was there…..

Hofer says they will start planning ahead for next year…..

The South Dakota legislature designated chislic as the state “nosh” during this year’s session.
