Hill City Youth Athletics served Aberdeen Youth Wrestling a dinner on Friday night as a fundraiser, and the Future Health Professionals of Custer High School worked concessions for a portion of the revenue. The 50/50 raffle proceeds were donated to the Jaure family as it recently suffered a major loss in the family. An at-will donation was also collected. Several referees also donated their earnings to the family.
Rustic Personal Chef Service food truck was on hand for breakfast, lunch and dinner. It is estimated the tournament brought in 1,500-1,600 visitors to Custer.
The tournament did have a rain delay that lasted about one hour, but wrestling resumed after the mats were dried off.
