BUFFALO BILL BRINGS THE WILD WEST HOME 

A large group of history reenactors from Wisconsin will be riding their horses into Le Claire, Iowa to present their full-blown arena experience -- "Buffalo Bill's Best of The Wild West."  This two-day extravaganza will take place at Cody Elementary School -- a beautiful property across the street from Buffalo Bill's birthplace in Le Claire, Iowa.

Grounds are open to the public from 10:30-4:00 on Saturday June 28th and 10:30-3:00 on Sunday, June 29th, with plenty for folks to see and do all day long in the 1890s canvas boomtown camp. The one hour 20 minute arena show will take place on both Saturday and Sunday at 12:30 PM.  Once on the grounds, there will also be live music in the morning, food trucks, children games, etc.

Visit with the reenactors. Meet the legends of the Wild West. Learn about Buffalo Bill's Wild West. And enjoy all the activities the camp has to offer, from a kids arcade Annie Oakley rubber-band rifle shooting gallery, to period correct vendors selling their wares, a gold panning station, tipi tours and so much more. The reenactors will be available for pictures, to answer questions and give demonstrations.
