Talk about it

DEADWOOD — The Black Hills will be featured on a national level this holiday season.

“A Christmas in the Black Hills,” a one-hour holiday special filmed in Deadwood and the Black Hills, will premier at 7 p.m. today on Great American Country (GAC).

Hosted by famed country duo Big & Rich, the special also features Thompson Square, Bradley Gaskin, Tracy Lawrence, Andy Gibson and The Farm in holiday scenes and songs around South Dakota’s Black Hills. Performances were filmed for the special at Mount Rushmore National Memorial, on Deadwood’s Main Street, Mount Moriah Cemetery, Saloon No. 10, the 1880 Train in Hill City, the Mickelson Trail, Pactola Lake, a buffalo herd and other locations.

The special will re-air on GAC throughout the holiday season.

The Deadwood Chamber of Commerce, the city of Deadwood, Deadwood Mountain Grand and the South Dakota Department of Tourism partnered to bring GAC to the Black Hills to produce the special.
