Travel over gravel a reality for Lifelight WORTHING, S.D. (AP) - Travel might be a little rocky this year for people going to a three-day Christian music festival that brings hundreds of thousands of people to South Dakota each Labor Day weekend. The festival has been held the past 12 years at various Sioux Falls locations. Organizers found a permanent site on a farm near Worthing, where the event will be held for the first time Sept. 3-5. Thousands of vehicles will have to travel the last couple of miles over gravel roads. Lincoln County Sheriff Dennis Johnson says some motorists might not be familiar with that type of driving surface. He urges people to slow down and use common sense. Festival Director Julie Klinger doesn't anticipate problems because she says having so many vehicles on the roads will keep down speeds.
