Hello... Our First Post!

Hello! I'm starting a new blog for The Barn bar in Piedmont, South Dakota.

For those of you that don't know who we are, I'll give you a little background. My parents, Edy and Robert, bought this place over twelve years ago. It was the families dream to build a golf course on the property and we've been slowly piecing it together over the years.

There was a barn on the property that my father converted into a small bar to help make ends meet as we worked on the golf course. He and my mother agonized over a name for some time before they agreed on The Barn. Extremely imaginative! It really is! I'm not being sarcastic.

We are a small local bar with our regulars and irregulars. We also have a driving range we operate in the summer months so one of our sayings is, "The only place where it's legal to drink and drive."

The Barn is located in Piedmont, South Dakota. Before you go looking it up on a map, let me just say, we are at the foot of the Black Hills between the cities of Rapid City and Sturgis, South Dakota. Sturgis is famous for the motorcycle rally held there every August and we get our share of the people coming to visit the hills. It's approximately sixty miles driving distance to Mount Rushmore and about the same distance to Crazy Horse. There should be enough references to famous places in that last bit to give you an overall idea where we are before you look on a map.

We used to have a website, but let it lapse, so I'm starting this blog for any of our repeat customers or new customers that might have something to say or want to know what's been going on at The Barn lately.

I hope to hear from some people so don't be shy and post some comments!
