Eleven years ago, I had the pleasure of live-blogging Miracle Treat Day at the Madison Dairy Queen. On Miracle Treat Day 2018, Randy Seiler tries his hand at video blogging with a quick update with the best Dairy Queen owner in the universe, DeLon Mork:
DeLon and Dairy Queen do Miracle Treat Day to raise money for Children’s Miracle Network. Seiler notes that Children’s Miracle Network helped his family out when his youngest daughter was born ten weeks premature:
Also on the scene in Madison this evening: Miss South Dakota (and Madison native) Maddie Nipe and Mr. South Dakota Billie Sutton:
John Thune dropped in earlier in the day:
…as did Jason Ravnsborg:
Law enforcement stopped by for lunch to make sure these politicos didn’t cause any trouble:
The Madison Dairy Queen sold 6,986 Blizzards for Miracle Treat Day when I blogged the event in 2007, the second year that DeLon hosted that event. in twelve years, DeLon has sold 335,873 Miracle Treat Day Blizzards to benefit Children’s Miracle Network.
Madison Dairy Queen is open until 11 p.m.
Thank you DeLon for your generosity! Your dad was an inspiration to me growing up in Madison and the torch is even brighter in your hands.
Kind regards,
David
I want to offer gratitude and respect to DeLon and all the folks at all the Dairy Queens for the wonderful work they do to help children who need it.
THANK YOU!
They got lucky cats and dogs today. Gotta love the optics – half man hug with a Democrat – two years ago Mork was vilified here by people who didn’t even know him. Watching an interview with Mike Rowe and Ben Shapiro 23 minutes in he explains he had 3 million Facebooks friends until doing an interview with Bill Maher and Glenn Beck back to back then he ONLY had 2 million friends. Something is deeply wrong with the extremes in this country – but remember most people are in the middle.

People like DeLon are what I call the “BACKBONE” OF AMERICA!!!!!! At the bottom of my scale are people like the current POTUS that reneged on his ‘promise’ to veterans during the campaign for president against some much higher qualified candidates like Kasich when he kept the donated dollars……..
