“For I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me; when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you,” declares the Lord. – Jeremiah 29:11-14

This “Daycation” Offers Family Fun for Everyone!

Imagine a place where a child can not only fix a car, but can also plant corn, climb clouds, and visit a life-size tyrannosaurus rex.

No need to actually imagine though because this place is real, and it’s 50 miles north of Sioux Falls on I-29.

At the Children’s Museum of South Dakota, the unique experience of hands-on play and exploration leads visitors from across the country to Brookings where quality time with loved ones is taken to a new level.

With family time at a premium, a “daycation” road trip can be just the ticket to creating memories that last forever. historic downtown Brookings, the Children’s Museum of South Dakota is an experience for the young and the young at heart.

Don’t let the name “museum” flood your mind with thoughts of priceless art and the “no-touch” policies found in traditional galleries of displayed treasures.

In contrast, this museum is a destination for the imagination, offering an open-ended experience with both indoor and outdoor fun that even adults will find entertaining.

Upon arrival, museum guests are greeted with KidStreet, a replica of a small town Main Street that recently welcomed a new addition: Whiskers & Tails Veterinary Clinic.

With a scale, examination table, and an x-ray viewer, future veterinarians and animal lovers alike can care for plush pet patients.

Additional activities on KidStreet include:

• Under the Hood – be the mechanic under the car, change tires, and repair mufflers • Post Office – weigh, sort, and deliver mail

• Café Oscar – take orders, make coffee, and prepare sandwiches and sundaes

• Market Fresh Grocery – be a clerk, stocker, and customer in this trueto-life grocery store

It is well-researched that children learn through play. Adults learn through play, too – they learn how the children in their life see the world, the value of taking family time, and they learn it’s okay to relax and enjoy small moments in life.

Give the Gift of Play

A play pass, gift certificate, or membership to the Children’s Museum of South Dakota is a gift that can last all year long. Whether it is for a holiday, birthday, or “just because” taking family time creates memories that last a lifetime.

LOOKING FOR SOME FAMILY FUN THIS HOLIDAY SEASON?

We have a class that is right for you to kickstart your winter holiday adventures!

LOVE THE PROCESS OF BUYING A CAR

Buying a new car can seem like a daunting process but it doesn’t have to be. Finding the right car at the right dealership can make you fall in love with the car-buying process.

The fi rst step in the car-buying process is choosing the right brand. Make sure to do your homework on the different models, features, and colors so you can pinpoint what you want. A brand that stands out in the industry is Subaru. Known for being a safe reliable vehicle with great handling, Subarus hold their resale value. According to the Kelley Blue Book list of 2022 vehicles with the best resale value, the Subaru Crosstrek, Forester, and Outback topped the list as the best SUVs that retain their value.

Now that you are convinced owning Subaru is in your future, there is only one dealership to go to, Schulte Subaru of Sioux Falls. What sets them apart is their commitment to serving you. They honor this commitment by taking sales pressure out of the car-buying equation. Rather than working off commission sales, Schulte Subaru rewards their sales staff with a consistent income and incentives that are based on team performance rather than individual performance. In fact, rather than hiring staff from within the industry, Schulte Subaru usually hires staff without previous car sales experience and provides training to ensure that undesired sales tactics are not used during the process.

Unlike other dealerships that transfer you to the fi nance department once you have decided to buy the car, at Schulte Subaru you will stay with the same sales representative from start to fi nish. The need to renegotiate terms, the fear of being sold unnecessary additional services, and having to spend half your day at the dealership just to buy a car doesn’t exist at Schulte Subaru. By breaking down lines between departments that exist in other dealerships, cross-training staff in all service lines, and investing in their employee’s growth and personal development Schulte Subaru has created a team culture that is personable and fun. For this dealership, selling cars is what they do and not who they are. This is why anyone no matter their age or gender can be confi dent that they will be treated honestly and fairly whether they are buying a new or used car or trading in their current vehicle. By listening and learning from customer feedback Schulte Subaru’s unmatched customer service makes them confi dent in their ability to satisfy every customer.

What makes Schulte Subaru even more of an attractive choice is its state-of-the-art facility that was built with the customer in mind. They are open daily Monday-Thursday 7:30 am-7:00 pm, Friday until 6:00 pm, Saturday from 8:00 am-6:00 pm, and Sunday from 1:00-4:00 pm, ensuring they are open at times that are convenient for you to shop. Schulte Subaru has a large selection of new and used vehicles to choose from. The showroom is large enough for at least one of each Subaru, so if the South Dakota climate isn’t cooperating, you can comfortably shop. If you’re bringing your vehicle in for service or bodywork, you get the benefi ts of their complimentary shuttle service, a loaner Subaru, or Schulte Concierge Service. Plus, you can relax in Schulte Subaru’s comfortable customer lounge with free Wi-fi , an internet bar with a charging station, large-screen TVs, massage chairs, video games, snacks, and self-service beverages.

Speaking of creature comforts, they recently added an 11,000-square-foot community dog park that is open to the public. One more equally important reason to choose Schulte Subaru over its amenities is its values. Owners Mike and Sarah Schulte are devoted to the idea that every interaction is a chance to make the world a better place, which is why you can fi nd them in the dealership working alongside their employees most days. Their commitment to their employees and the community is why Schulte Subaru was named The Subaru Love Promise Retailer of the Year for 2020 and South Dakota Auto Dealers 2021 Dealer of the Year. For them, kindness is not just a word, it is a way of doing business. They share the love through their commitment to community, whether it’s supporting 10,000 animals yearly at the Sioux Falls Humane Society or donating custom vehicles to help the B-Squad Dog Rescue team transport thousands of at-risk dogs. Schulte Subaru has been a true friend to animals in need. Their generosity also extends to other organizations as well including Great Bear Ski Valley, connecting families through fun activities; the Mayor’s Veterans Community Project, providing tiny homes for homeless veterans; the Children’s Home Society, providing shelter to children to escape abusive environments, and donating 3 cars to Meals on Wheels ensuring those in need have access to food.

Schulte Subaru truly embodies the phrase, Love. It’s what makes Subaru, Subaru.
