Golden History Moment
Pre-COVID, we were scheduled to be celebrating Buffalo Bill Days this weekend. Alas, that won’t happen this year, but I thought you might enjoy seeing this ad from 1946–the very first year that we had Buffalo Bill Days.
In 1946, we had a parade, a carnival, barbecued buffalo, had window displays in the downtown stores, a soap box derby, a tug-of-war among the Mines fraternities, fireworks, baseball games, races, a dance, and a bazaar. This was the first summer after World War II and a long economic Depression, so Golden’s residents had a lot to celebrate!
The event has become more and more elaborate over the years. We still have the parade, don’t have fireworks or a dance, but we’ve added car shows, a pancake breakfast, food and craft vendors, a wild west show, mutton bustin’, duck race, and non-stop high quality live music. It won’t happen this year, but let’s look forward with hope to Buffalo Bill Days 2021!
Many thanks to the Golden History Museum for providing the online cache of historic Transcripts, and many thanks to the Golden Transcript for documenting our history since 1866!
