Susan Drey’s watercolors are back on the walls at the Rapid City Taproom. She was last here in June of 2025, and if you saw that show you’ll remember her renditions of downtown storefronts, Black Hills ridgelines, and the local characters that bring her inspiration. She’s stopping in Sunday afternoon to shake hands and share a pint while you take it all in. Watercolor on the walls, a fresh beer in hand.

 THE ULTIMATE “PAW-SICLE” CHALLENGE RETURNS! 

Join us as we kick off our 12th tail-waggin’ year of helping pets and families with the second race in the SCARIEST 0.5K Trifecta—the infamous 0.5K Dog Walking Dead Challenge and Costume Contest!

 Event Details
When: Sunday, October 11, 2026
Where: Lost Cabin Beer Garden, Hill City, SD
Food: Green Chili Shack Food Truck

 What to Expect
Get ready for the “worst” stroll around a parking lot you’ll ever take—uphill both ways… in the snow… barefoot. 

All silliness aside, every step supports Hobo’s Healing Heart and our mission to help pets in emergency situations and provide them with a dignified farewell when the time comes.

Think you can make it to the finish line? We mostly believe in you.
