HARRISBURG, S.D. — Kids clambered onto a fire truck painted white, its rooftop sporting a huge stuffed tiger and a flag waving high for Harrisburg High's football team in this suburb of Sioux Falls.
People watched college games on the four 50-inch televisions gracing one side of the truck; others grilled burgers nearby.
At the tailgate, parents talked about football, work, kids and — with a little prodding — what they rely on for news.
"Mainly just a Fox guy," says Aaron Zahn, the truck's owner, who builds grain elevators. He likes Gutfeld! — the conservative late-night comedy show on Fox News.
Dawn Bures, whose son, Harrison, plays wide receiver for the Tigers, says she follows "citizen journalists on the internet," citing social media influencer Jessica Reed Kraus' House Inhabit.
