Dell Rapids Chamber Hosting 2nd Annual “Battle of the Buns”

January 7, 2021 by Matt Larson, Big Sioux Media

The Dell Rapids Chamber of Commerce is hosting the 2nd Annual “Battle of the Buns” throughout the month of January. All four businesses that participated in the event last year, Pinz, Papa’s, Norby’s, and County Fair, are participating again this year with new menu items to determine the 2021 Best Burger in Dells!

Everyone is invited to purchase the battle burgers from the four locations, complete a ballot, and return it to one of the four locations. A ballot will be given for every burger purchase, meaning multiple votes are possible.

The Dell Rapids Chamber of Commerce will hold a weekly drawing from the returned ballots. Chances to win can be doubled by sharing photos of the battle burgers on the chamber’s Facebook page or emailing them to office@ dellrapidschamber.com.

The contest will be held throughout the entire month of January, and the winner of the “Battle of the Buns” will be announced at the Dell Rapids Chamber of Commerce Annual Banquet that will be held on February 21st. Gronli Cabinetry will be sponsoring the award with a personalized cutting board.

Revive Fitness owner Brittani Bollock and County Fair Foods managers Byron Busk and Steve Clark are partnering together to help promote health and wellness in Dell Rapids and the surrounding area. The goal of the partnership is to help people better understand how food acts as fuel for our bodies. Revive Fitness will be providing periodic health and wellness education pieces written by Revive Fitness trainers, dieticians, and other Revive wellness expert partners.

The packet will include information such as new recipes, healthy grocery lists, and specialty ‘Revive Recommends’ items for healthier and easier shopping.

Bollock said, “Our vision is to work together to promote healthy information, choices and options for the families in this community in which we serve and love so much! We want to let people know that you don’t have to travel to another store to find healthy options. You can find them right here in Dell Rapids and for a cheaper price than you might think.”

New County Fair Store Set to Open

December 15, 2013 by Matt Larson, Big Sioux Media

The new County Fair Foods store in Dell Rapids will open on Monday, December 16th. The new 35,352 square-foot building started construction on June 17th with ground breaking. At that time the estimated time of the construction was six months, and the store will open one day shy of exactly six months from the ground breaking. The new facility is nearly three times as large as the other store, and features new and expanded features. The County Fair will also house the Dell Rapids Lewis store and will have a drive thru pharmacy window.

County Fair closed down the old store mid-afternoon on Saturday, December 14th, and numerous employees and volunteers helped move the remaining products from the old store to the new location to get the products on the shelves and the store ready for opening.
