South Dakota to be Featured in Famous Parade

RAPID CITY, S.D. (AP) - South Dakota will be getting a little
face time during the annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in New
York this year.
     The Department of Tourism's "Mount Rushmore's American Pride"
float will feature Mount Rushmore National Memorial, Black Hills
National Forest and Badlands National Park in an effort to drive
more visitors to the state.
     The float is only the second state float to be accepted into the
famous parade.
     Singer Neil Diamond will perform while riding on the float.
