Gary, South Dakota lies on the very eastern edge of the state, butted up against Minnesota in Deuel County. It is in the glacial lakes region, high on the Coteau Prairie, just east of the Buffalo Ridge. Gary is a small community with a big personality. It is known far and wide in this area as the place you go to relax and have a good time. It is also one of the few small towns in the MIdwest that continues to thrive despite the adversities plaguing some small towns today.

Gary and its immediate surroundings provide many diverse businesses with people just as diverse. From farming and ranching to trucking and wind generators - you'll find it in Gary. As for entertainment opportunities in the area you'll find access to lakes for water fun and fishing, as well as plenty of game for hunting. Wintertime brings snowmobile fun with miles and miles of groomed trails to roam. If it's peace and quiet you hope to attain, you can find that here too. Gary has a third of July celebration that beats all with children's events, a horse pull, tractor pull and volunteer firemen water fights.

The Gate City to the West still provides some of that old "cow town" activity as well. Certain times of year you'll see cattle drives down the streets of town, as well as a couple of rodeos in the area and trail rides for the horse lover.
