He noted, "I remember when my parents took me down to the Sturgis Falls Celebration. As a kid, I enjoyed especially the music and the rides. Now that I am older, the celebration means more! It is about family, friends and the community coming together. Now I have friends that are members of some of the bands that play in Tourist. So it is nice to reunite with them each year".
