The Facility

The De Smet Event & Wellness Center has been open for almost a year and what a year it has been! We started out with an empty building and we now have furnishings in all areas except our locker rooms. We have constant activity in the building and are busier than anyone ever expected. You can stop up and see people walking on our Avera Walkway, working out in our Carmen Wellness Center, playing soccer on our event hall floor, rehearsing for a dance recital or play in our Midstate Theater and Conference Room or attending a meeting or viewing an art exhibit in our Conference Center West or Meyer Meeting Room. The De Smet Event Center can be used and booked for:

  • Wedding Receptions

  • Annual Meetings
  • Family and Class Reunions
