The town we moved to in 2009 is a very sleepy, watch time go by, much overlooked, population of 940 according to city-data.com. However, I dispute the town is this large as an overall statement - believe we are far more in the 6-800 numbers. But then, what do I know? I just live here. But not even in town....I prefer the "suburbs".
Sturgis 2015 Rally - the 75th annual - was massive to say the least. Our small town had a vacant event venue transformed into a viable business. We were invaded by bikers, bikers, and more bikers. Helicopter rides were seen being given on a what seemed like a continual basis. A party bus ran between Sturgis and Whitewood on a frequent schedule. Our economy received a H-U-G-E jolt!

Congratulations to the owner's of the Whitewood Campground and Event Center. You have our survived your first Rally! I hope your investment into our community pays off not only for you, but for our town's economy also.
