Pouring rain in Mitchell, but that didn’t slow us down! ☔️
Around 120–130 people showed up strong, joined by two pandas and a T-Rex who were clearly built for all-weather activism. 🐼🦖

My 3rd Act

@my3rdact.bsky.social

I timed my visit to the #CornPalace to catch the golden hour. I know it’s a tourist trap but it’s been on my bucket list since I was a child living in the Midwest. The current building has been standing since 1921 with a new design every year! #findjoy #roadtrips #MitchellSD #photography #goldenhour

The giant palace adorned with corn glows in the sun. Vibrant yellows, oranges, and green
