Buffalo Days 2010

WHAT'S NEW IN 2010?  Have you seen our new sign at the north edge of our village?   This sign was purchased with funds raised with Buffalo Days events in the past years!  Our motto is to give back to our community and school.  We do so by awarding high school seniors with scholarship monies and equipping our little town with improvements.  Check out the time and temperature next time you drive through! 

Buffalo Days is an annual community event in its seventh year.  LaMoille hosted Buffalo Days back in the mid 1970s but community involvement decreased and the celebration was stopped.  In 1999, a few community members met and decided it was time for Buffalo Days to come back to town!  They organized a fundraiser in the fall to raise operating funds for the two day celebration.  In its existence now, Buffalo Days has expanded to a 3-day event, encompassing food, fun for all ages, beer tent and entertainment, community church service, 5K Stampede and even a volleyball tournament for Relay for Life!
