Tourism[edit]

I would change the "Volgarians" reference- I grew up in Volga, and that term was what I'd heard a few people use in a joking manner about those of us in Volga- but never as a serious term.

Also I would not say tourism is "rampant" in Volga. There is simply NO tourism in that town, Old Timer's Day- as the one example- is attended mostly by people who live in town, that event is relatively unknown even in nearby Brookings. 7/27/07-- Josh M.

I've lived in Brookings for the last 5 years, and I've never even heard of Old Timer's Day. I'm in Volga all the time visiting in-laws and I know that there is no real tourism. "Rampant" is definately not the correct word for describing it. sdgjake 17:19, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I can't figure out adding sources for this article, but here's a source for the origin of Volga's name: http://www.volgacity.com/documents/volga_community_profile.pdf ...3/28/2010, Ben K. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.93.5.133 (talk) 03:16, 29 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Volga, South Dakota's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 07:09, 4 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
