Festival to honor life of Tony=20 Dean

By Jeff Bunn
Capital Journal staff

PIERRE =97 An Aug. 8 festival is planned to honor the life of = Tony Dean,=20 Pierre resident and nationally known outdoor broadcaster.

=93The event is going to be kind of unique,=94 said Paul = Lepisto, member of=20 the Dean steering committee, which is raising money to purchase = land in=20 memory of Dean. =93We=92re going to include a lot of the things = that Tony=20 really would have enjoyed =97 fishing, golfing, live music, = seminars=20 disseminating of outdoor-oriented information.=94

On Oct. 19, Dean, 67, died from complications during an = appendectomy.=20 Since his passing, Tony Dean Acres was created to raise money to = buy land=20 to be used to support wildlife habitat, provide for public outdoor = recreation and offer environmental education. The August event = might=20 become an annual one. It is part of the fundraising goal and = Lepisto said=20 future dollars generated by the festival will go to maintenance of = the=20 land.

=93That will be determined by the success of this year,=94 said = Lepisto.=20 =93There will always be the continuing need for funds for = management of Tony=20 Dean=92s Acres and the educational aspect we hope to tie into the = use of=20 that public recreation area as well.=94

A fishing derby begins at 9 a.m. and the up to four-person = teams must=20 have at least one youth younger than 16, which is an extension of = Dean=92s=20 desire to get young people interested in the outdoors, said = Lepisto.

The idea for the festival came from locals at Spring Creek, = Oahe Trails=20 and Oahe Speedway who wanted to promote the peninsula and pay = tribute to=20 Dean who frequented that area, explained Lepisto.

=93That was one of Tony=92s favorite places to go to golf or = put in to go=20 fishing or go up and have something to eat at the restaurant,=94 = he=20 said.

Linda Peterson, with Oahe Trails, said Dean was more than a = member of=20 the golf course. He was a friend to her and her husband, = Bruce.

=93We just enjoyed his company,=94 she said. =93When we had the = opportunity=20 to do something to help raise the money they want to raise to buy = Tony=92s=20 acres, we thought it would be a fun project.=94

Marlin Roseland, track director at Oahe Speedway, said Dean had = interest in motor sports. According to Roseland, the race track is = participating in a silent auction and will have cars on display = for the=20 festival.

=93Tony was a heck of a nice guy,=94 said Roseland. =93We = always enjoyed=20 talking to him. He did an awful lot for South Dakota and he did an = awful=20 lot for our region.=94

At 3 p.m., a ribbon cutting and grand opening will be held for = the new=20 deep water marina. Before that, at 10 a.m., seminars on fishing, = boating,=20 Lake Oahe and other topics will be held.
