ABERDEEN, S.D. (HubCityRadio.com) – The number 605 is the state’s area code and also Friday’s date. It is also part of Avera Health’s 605 Day Challenge to help small businesses and also recognize those on the front-line such are grocery store workers, first reponders and nursing home staff.

Amy Blackstone, Avera Foundation Director, talked about the event.
