"Make-A-Wish South Dakota & Montana congratulates the Watertown Event Center on their 20th Anniversary. Since your doors opened in 2004, our chapter has held our annual fundraiser event for NE SD kids wishes. Hosting 500 guests for a delicious buffet dinner along with orchestrating the auction and program to highlight our wish kids demands a willing and capable staff, chef, and service crew! You have continued to provide the quality we know and trust - year after year. Best wishes!"
