Businesses give boost to economy of Aberdeen “Aberdeen U.S.A. The City Without Limits” was the name of the campaign promoting the city of Aberdeen during 1984-85. This promotion was brought about to encourage people and businesses to come to Aber- deen. Many new Aberdeen businesses opened their doors in 1984-85. Shopko. The People’s Bank, The White House Inn, Perkins Restaurant and the People’s Choice Buffet, gave a strong boost to the economy of Aber- deen. Construction was completed on a new Salvation Army building and the Aberdeen Convention Center. Kessler’s Grocery Store also completed the addition and renovation of their building. Three men were killed in a plane crash at the Aberdeen Regional Airport in the early fall. The jet failed to gain enough altitude, struck an embankment and crashed into a ball of fire near Brown County 19. A well known aviator Louis “Watcha” McCollum was killed in the crash which made the national news. To the disappointment of many 18 year olds, the drink- ing age in South Dakota was raised to 19 on June 1, 1984. Two soap opera stars, Laurence Lau and Frank Benard, appeared before excited crowds at the Super City Mall. Lau also made a special and unexpected appearance at Roncalli’s homecoming dance. 1. Shopko drew many shoppers to its establishment. 2. Perkins Restaurant opened to provide more dining in Aberdeen. 3. The White House Inn was added to the list of motels in Aberdeen. 4-5.

Trivia becomes fad as Jacksons fade Excitement sizzled throughout the nation as Michael Jackson and his brothers hit the road on the Victory Tour. But soon the Jackson craze died down, and stars like Prince, Bruce Springsteen, Cindy Lauper and Tina Turner started climbing the charts with their music. How long does Boy George say it takes to apply his makeup? This and many other mind racking questions were asked as trivia became a fad in 1984-85. Trivial Pursuit and other quiz games appeared all over. Who ya gonna call? Ghostbusters! This phrase and the movie Ghostbusters became a hit during the year. Many borrowed the idea and incorporated it into sayings like Reaganbusters and Fritzbusters during the election campaign. Wendy’s commercials made Clara Pellar and the phrase “Where’s the Beef?” famous to hamburger eat- ers everywhere. Footbag more commonly known as “hacky sack” was played almost anywhere two or more people gathered. This game was played by kicking a small round bag to each other. The Cabbage Patch Doll craze continued in the nation. People waited in line for hours and often fought to get their hands on one Cabbage Patch Kid. Thirty-seven popular British musicians gathered togeth- er to record the single Do They Know It's Christmas?” Band Aid was the name of this effort to help raise money for the famine victims in Ethiopia. 1. Gertie Lindi, Wallis Tommy and Essa Catherine all Cabbage Patch Kids from the Mattern family, pose for the camera. 2. Tim Heinz and Jim Kokales play hacky sack during their free time in the student center. 3. Anne Schmitz. Stewart Bohle, Michelle Rost. Paul Nikolas and Skip Krueger play a game of Trivial Pursuit during their study hall. 4. Clara Pellar asks Where's the Beef? in a Wendy's commercial. 4 Entertainment (Pages by Patty Mattern)
