STURGIS, S.D. (MITCHELLNOW) The 85th Sturgis Motorcycle Rally is less than four months away and if you plan to go, you’ll notice some changes. Sturgis City Council eliminated the Rally Events Department last year over budget constraints. That has resulted in the city getting back to what city administrator Aaron Jordan calls the basics by focusing on providing a safe and clean community. The number of city sponsored events at the rally are decreasing. Last year’s rally had 12 city sponsored events while the upcoming rally will have only four, in addition to Harley Point band performances. Jordan says he doesn’t expect the changes to impact the overall rally experience.
