South Dakota is the most Second Amendment-friendly state in America, and our fi****ms industry is thriving. As other states infringe on the 2nd Amendment rights of their citizens and chase away fi****ms producers, South Dakota is welcoming them with open arms. This new gunsmithing program will support our growing fi****ms industry and attract even more guns and ammunition manufacturers to South Dakota!

🎓 Intern Season Is Almost Here! 🌞

As the school year comes to a close, intern season is right around the corner in Watertown! Each summer, the Watertown Development Company welcomes incoming interns by providing them with a Watertown Intern Padfolio filled with helpful information and local goodies—event links, coupons from local businesses, Chamber Bucks, and more.

If your business would like to include swag, coupons, or promotional items in the intern packets, we’d love to partner with you! It’s a great way to introduce interns to your business and help them feel connected to the community.

📩 To participate, contact Angie at [email protected] by April 22nd at 5pm. We have about 60 interns this year which is fabulous!

Let’s work together to give interns a warm Watertown welcome and showcase everything our community has to offer!
