SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO.com) -- The 2018 South Dakota Sports Hall of Fame Banquet scheduled for Saturday, April 14 in Sioux Falls, has been canceled.
The impending winter storm prompted the board members to cancel the 2018 banquet due to safety concerns. The 16 honorees will now be inducted on Saturday, April 20th, 2019 at the Sioux Falls Convention Center.
"It was a very tough decision for the board. But with the large number of attendees coming from all corners of the state, and across the country, it was determined that the safety risk was too great," said South Dakota Sports Hall of Fame President Jeff Fylling on behalf of the South Dakota Sports Hall of Fame Executive Board.
All tickets purchased for this year's banquet will be honored for the 2019 event.
