A town hall meeting will be held to discuss the Rainbow Gathering.

“The purpose of this town hall meeting is to inform the
public of the event and answer any questions they may have,” said Black Hills
National Forest Supervisor Craig Bobzien.

personnel will present an update of the current situation, provide background

gathering once a year. They come from all across the country. Since 1972,
the event has taken place on a different national forest annually during a
two-week period surrounding the Fourth of July holiday.
