DID YOU KNOW
On the new website www.discovermurdosd.com, there is an event section on the homepage! We wanted the website to be all inclusive for the multiple events that our community puts together, but we need your help making sure we don't miss anything... If you have an event in the Jones County area that we can place on the website, please email the flyer and information to Ashley at [email protected] or Krysti at [email protected].
No more searching social media to find what you're looking for-it's all in one place on our NEW website!

IT'S HERE!!! IT'S HERE!!
We have been talking about a collaborative project being closer to completion FOR MONTHS... and it's finally HERE!
This effort was spearheaded with the goal of creating one central website for our community—a place where residents, visitors, businesses, and organizations can find the information they need in one location. To make that possible, the City of Murdo made the initial investment in developing the website, creating a shared platform that can serve the entire community.
The website will now serve as the home base for the Murdo Area Chamber of Commerce, Murdo Area Economic Development, and other organizations and community resources throughout the Jones County area.
Within the website, we have included:
📋 City agendas, meeting minutes, and ordinances. (Give us grace for not having October's agenda in there please! The meeting is tonight)
📆 Event listings---This portion is sponsored by the Chamber!
🤠 The homepage reflects our history and heritage of the community
🐎 We have our attractions listed
📈 Our businesses are all listed with categories so they're easy to find for locals, new to the community individuals, AND travelers
🧡💙 All organizations are listed with contact individuals!
✝️ Every church is listed with contact information and when services are held.
We worked hard to make this website a true reflection of our community and to include as many aspects of Jones County as possible. But we know we’re human, and we may have missed something! If you notice information that needs to be corrected, updated, or added, please let us know. Email Ashley at [email protected], and we’ll work to get it corrected and make sure our website continues to be a useful resource for our community.
Last thing-and then we'll give y'all the link 😉
To have your event listed ono the website under the community events, you MUST email the flyer to Ashley at [email protected] or Krysti at the City office to [email protected]. We miss events and it's never intentional but if you don't email us the information, there is a risk that your event will be missed-and it must be emailed to us in a graphic poster/flyer. We cannot put an event in the system if we do not have a photo of the information. Please ensure your flyers include the event name, time, and date. Include any instructions or fees associated with the event.
Here's your website Jones County! I hope you love it as much as we do.

This event is for any stage of business, farm, or ranch ownership. It's never too early to think about Succession Planning and definitely never too late.

Part 2 of Prairie Paws Provisions....
🐾 “We wanted the fun events… so we decided to bring them HERE.”
That pretty much sums up the story behind what’s happening at The Bunkhouse.
What started as a space for Prairie Paws to hang out with the pups when the weather wasn’t cooperating has turned into something much more. After hosting their first event, they realized just how much people were craving opportunities to gather, visit and enjoy something together — and the ideas just kept coming.
The Bunkhouse wasn’t originally part of the business plan. It was more of a “Hey, why not?” moment.
That has led to a growing list of events and ideas — all with the goal of bringing some of the things people might otherwise have to travel to Pierre or surrounding communities to enjoy right here to Murdo.
So what's coming up?
🍂 Fall Roundup — Saturday, October 10
Wagon rides, food & coffee, live music, vendors, kids' games and plenty of fall fun.
🎃 Howl-o-Ween at The Bunkhouse
A spooky, decorated Bunkhouse ready for goblins, ghouls and trick-or-treaters!
🎄 Christmas at The Bunkhouse
Christmas events are in the works, with details still to come. And if you know Prairie Paws, you know there will probably be plenty of decorating, baking and hosting involved. 😉
And yes — this is just the beginning. They plan to continue hosting events and opening their space to the community.
As for what’s next for Prairie Paws and Prairie Paws Provisions? There are a few ideas rolling around, but they’re keeping some of those close for now.
One thing they know for sure: winter is a season of planning and restoration, and they’re excited to see what spring brings!
And perhaps the best piece of advice they shared for anyone sitting on an idea of their own:
JUST START.
You don’t have to wait until everything is perfect. Put one foot in front of the other, trust that you’ll figure things out along the way, and remember that obstacles are “figure-out-able.”
And find a mentor. If someone is doing something that inspires you, reach out. Sometimes the encouragement alone is worth it.
We couldn’t agree more. ❤️
It’s exciting to see people in our community not only dreaming, but DOING — and then creating opportunities for others to gather, connect and enjoy the place we call home.
Congrats Prairie Paws and Prairie Paws Provisions on being great doers! We appreciate your efforts!
