The Votes are In and Dakota Thunder is the Winner!
 
Michael Shirek from Mandan, ND was the first to submit "Dakota Thunder" so he is the winner of the $1,000 prize. 

Dakota Thunder was dedicated on July 24, 2010.  Here are a few snapshots from the day.  Thank you to all those who came out to join in the festivities.  It was a great day!
