Lion’s Club Annual Fishing Derby
- This well known event is held annually at lake DeSmet over the Memorial Day weekend. Contestants for the prizes, which often include a fully equipped fishing boat, tackle, and more, come from hundreds of miles surrounding Buffalo.
To the casual observer it appears that a village of
tents, trailers and boats has risen overnight along the
vast shore line of the lake. |

Annual Triker Parade |
American Triker Convention
Don’t be surprised to see many strange and unusual brightly painted three wheel vehicles all around the city of Buffalo the first week in August. For that is the time the city plays host to the American Triker Convention. |
|
Trikers are three-wheel motorcycles whose owners seem to spare no expense when it comes to making their "Trike" (short for tricycle) comfortable and unique. Then they drive it for thousands of miles to show it off to other "Trikers". |

Living History Days
This annual event lasts three days near the end of June. Its activities center around the living history of the Buffalo area. You’ll see and visit with the Basque families that abound in the nearby sheep ranches, and be offered a taste of their spicy French-Spanish style of cuisine. |
|
You’ll most likely see cowboys and cavalry soldiers
wearing the costumes of the 19th century. The
Jim Gatchell Museum will tell you stories of the settling of area and how it got to be this way. |
