Both Sides Of EC Issue Happy With Turnout

SIOUX FALLS, SD - Both sides of the events center issue have been working to get voters out to the polls over the past few weeks.

The grassroots group of Sioux Falls citizens against the proposed events center came forward just more than a month ago to oppose the project.
