Holiday Ho-Ho Horseshoe in Historic Deadwood
The holidays in Deadwood, South Dakota are filled with charm, lights, and small-town magic. One of the most popular winter traditions is the Holiday Ho-Ho Horseshoe, a limited-edition holiday ornament event that blends local art, festive shopping, and the excitement of winning prizes throughout Historic Deadwood.
Running from November 15th through December 30th, the Holiday Ho-Ho Horseshoe gives visitors and locals a fun way to explore the Black Hills while supporting local businesses. Each ornament is a collectible holiday horseshoe featuring a unique number. Every purchase also includes a commemorative postcard created by local artist Cari Thrall, making these ornaments meaningful holiday keepsakes.
How It Works
After purchasing your holiday horseshoe, compare its number with the winning numbers displayed inside participating Deadwood shops and casinos. If your number matches, you immediately win a prize valued at $50 or more. Horseshoes are $13 each or 5 for $55, and with more than 100 winning ornaments, your odds of winning are strong. Multiple purchases mean more chances to win.
Where to Buy
Holiday Horseshoes can be purchased at:
Silverado, Madame Peacocks, Saloon #10 Mercantile, Mr. Wu’s, and The Landmark Casino.
