Jennifer Noble is the type of person who reads a sign posted for an event in her community and then goes. The best of her discoveries turn into stories surfacing online or in magazines. She's explored worlds of travel, business and weddings, writing for the Minneapolis/St. Paul Wedding Guide, AAA's Home & Away as well as contributing to Etc. for Her in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. She is also published in “I'm Glad I'm a Mom” through Harvest House Publishers. With her research for SouthDakota.com, the dominant theme was finding rich character and honor in the efforts of citizens across the state. The diligence of these small towns and cities speaks volumes about the quality of life residents witness everyday. For visitors, they may find themselves absorbing the culture and remembering that “special something” in South Dakota.
