FAMILY SPOTLIGHT:
MEET THE DINGER'S

Jes, Levi, Camden, and Talon Dinger have been a part of the Y family for almost five years. The Dinger family rises very early every morning to make it to town by 7:30 am. They live in Houghton, which is 30 miles northeast of Aberdeen. Jes drives Camden and Talon into town for school (at the YDC) and for work where she is a dental hygienist. Talon is currently in the Flower Patch room and Camden is currently a Professor. Levi travels east to Britton where he works as a machinist.
On the weekends, especially Friday nights, Jes and Camden love watching Levi race at the Brown County Speedway. Camden loves being a part of all the pit crew action (and playing Tic Tac Toe in the dirt). They also like to spend their time at Wylie Park riding go carts, the Storybook Land Train, and Storybook Land carousel. When you can't find the Dinger's in Aberdeen, it is likely you'll find them outside driving the Gator, playing on their new swingset built by their dad and Papa or chasing after the two new barn kitties, Spongebob and Patrick. Both Camden and Talon love being able to spend time farming with Grandpa Dave and Grandma Carolyn in Hecla.
If you know Camden, you know he lives for the green and yellow John Deere tractors and combines. Talon is following in his big brothers footsteps with his love of trucks, tractors and construction equipment. These boys may be the only South Dakota residents who actually enjoy road construction.
