"This Sunshine trip will be the longest in the history of such tours out of Sioux Falls, or of any tour ever made by any South Dakota organization. The route extends 1161 miles. Starting Monday morning at Wolsey, about a quarter of the distance from the Minnesota border to that of Wyoming, the Sunshiners will go to the extreme western end of the state. Traveling west on the Northwestern road and back on the Milwaukee, they will cut a swath covering the southern third of the state. Sixty towns and cities will be visited.
"Among the Sunshiners will be speakers who will tell the townspeople at every stop their messages of optimism and faith. To go a step further, the Sunshiners will be accompanied by two bands, one from the state university and the other from State college, who will furnish music for parades, which will be a physical exhibition of "pep" and confidence. Representatives of various concerns will distribute souvenirs from the state's metropolis in these stops.
"The Sunshiners cannot cover the entire state, but they will do the next best thing by carrying along a radio broadcasting station, known as KFVP. Programs will be sent out on five nights of the trip, from Sioux Falls Sunday, Rapid City Monday, Deadwood Tuesday, Hot Springs Wednesday and Interior Thursday. The two bands and a Pullman quartet will assist in the programs.
"The Sunshine Special will leave Sioux Falls at 10:30 Sunday night. It will run to Wolsey, where the visiting begins. The party will travel Monday to Rapid City, where the night will be spent.
"On Tuesday morning there will be a jaunt to Bella Fourche, with stops along the way. At Belle Fourche cars will be furnished for a picturesque trip to Spearfish. At Spearfish the party will board observation cars on the C. B. & Q. for a trip through beautiful Spearfish canyon, coming out at Deadwood, where the night will be spent. The special will have gone there empty.
"On Wednesday there will be a long jaunt south, from Deadwood to Hot Springs, visiting the sanatorium at Custer and other points of interest. During the night the special will take the Sunshiners to Rapid City, where on Thursday morning citizens of Rapid City will take them by auto to the state cement plant, Sylvan Lake, the state game park, game lodge and other points of interest.
"At 3:55 Thursday afternoon the journey in the homeward direction will begin, and Interior, in the heart of the Bad Lands, will be reached by 7 p. m. Here there will be a big Indian pow-wow and other entertainment. At one minute part midnight the Sunshiners are scheduled to pack up again and move on. They will reach Belvidere by 8:20 a. m. Friday. Here the party will go by auto overland about 30 miles to White River, and after visiting this place will travel north to Murdo on the railroad line to board the special. The Sunshiners will leave Murdo at 1:30 p. m. and move homeward, visiting six towns, the last being Oacoma at 6:05. From there the special will proceed to Chamberlain, Mitchell and home, and will halt at the Omaha station some time near midnight, five days after the tour was started."
