Hi Emily and welcome to the group.
Hartford is a nice small town. If you could give a bit of info about yourself, we'd be glad to answer your questions. If you still have to work, Sioux Falls will be your best bet and Hartford is about 15 miles away. It's an easy drive during most months, but quite a ways when it's icy or there's a snowstorm.
Do you live in SD? What's the population of the town you're coming from? Personally, if I worked in Sioux Falls, I'd live there, but that's just me cause I don't like to drive in the winter time and I like to live close to work.
