Dakotas ‘Round Up’ Party March 12, 2026—Save the Date
Steve Perkins
North Dakotans and South Dakotans and friends from Sun Lakes, SunBird, and surrounding areas are all invited to the annual North and South Dakota Party held Thursday, March 12, 2026, in the San Tan Ballroom, Cottonwood Country Club in Sun Lakes. Make sure you put it on your calendar. It’s a 40-plus-year tradition!
Each year it seems the party gets a little bigger. Maybe the weather is just colder back home and more Dakotans are heading south? We are planning a real hoedown, big party celebration, just like a good ol’ Dakota rodeo.
If you are not getting our emails, then you need to get on our Dakotas Party list. You can get on the list by emailing or calling us at the contact information below. Everyone on the list from last year continues. We will email out registration forms after Jan. 1. Remember, you have to be prepaid and registered well before the party. There are no “walk in” registrations at the door. We have to guarantee numbers a week before, so please register early.
Again, make sure you get on our email list. Please spread the word. To save money, we are only doing email mailings, so please make sure all your Dakota friends know about the party. We need your help! Don’t assume everyone knows about it. Spread the word faster than Grandma’s country party line phone.
For more information, to get on our list, and/or for reservations, contact SunLakesDakotaParty@gmail.com or call Marianne Perkins at 507-227-2099 (email is preferred).
Nebraska State Dinner
The annual Sun Lakes Nebraska State Dinner will be held on Saturday, Feb. 28, 2026, in the Cottonwood Country Club San Tan Ballroom. Friends from Sun Lakes and surrounding areas are all invited to the dinner.
The no-host cash bar will begin at 5:30 p.m., followed by dinner at 6:30 p.m. Please watch next month for more complete details of the dinner.
Reservation forms for those on our mailing list will be sent out the first week of February. If you are new to the area, have a change of address, have never been on our mailing list, or have questions, contact Don Teusaw at 402-659-2410.
This is your opportunity to meet fellow Nebraskans, enjoy great food, and participate in raffle drawings and a silent auction!
Please spread the word!
