Chalk on the Blackboard from Buffalo, ND
We are happy to share the latest news and information from the Historic 1916 Buffalo High School that was listed on the National Register of Historic Properties in 2001. The school is located at 303 Pearl Street in Buffalo, North Dakota, just three miles north of I-94 at exit 314.
With the feeling of spring in the air, we are motivated to work outside on the school grounds to clean up the winter debris and branches. We are hoping that April showers will bring the May flowers, green grass and new leaves on the trees that we are anxious to see. Of course, we are doing spring cleaning inside the school, as well as concentrating on refreshing our displays of treasurers old and new in the Olde School Gift Shoppe.
To start the month of May we will be celebrating Cinco de Mayo on Sunday, May 5, starting at 3 pm until 6 pm in the Carolyn Pfeifer Room. Framed watercolor prints by Carolyn and an extensive collection of her beautiful note cards are available for a donation to the 1916 Buffalo High School. We are grateful to Carolyn for sharing her amazing talent with us to benefit the school. Please come for a visit, enjoy delicious refreshments, and stroll through the gift shop.
We will also host an Open House on Monday, May 27, from 11:30 am to 3:30 pm, in conjunction with the annual Memorial Day program by the Buffalo American Legion Easton-Yanish Post #10. We welcome our visitors to Buffalo on this important day of remembrance and invite them to stop by our historic school. We will showcase exhibits honoring our local veterans and the special women who served in the military or worked in defense jobs on the home front.
We are busy planning our Annual High School Homecoming and class reunions scheduled for Friday night, July 19, from 6 to 10 pm. Everyone is invited to the school for a great party on the lawn with a catered picnic by the BBQ Meat Wizard. There will be a beer garden, great music, fun prizes, special presentations, and so much more for everyone to enjoy.
The celebration continues on Saturday, July 20, starting at 11 am. There will be activities for the entire family including carnival games & prizes, crafters, concessions, and live entertainment all afternoon. The Second Annual Larry Zaun Memorial Car Show starts at 4 pm on Main Street with oldies music by DJ Steve. Please mark your calendar for summer fun in Buffalo on July 19 and 20!
