5:30-7PM Serum Skin Care Education Event & Ice Cream Social @ Earth Sweet Boutique
We are combining a "Healthy Skin Club" Education Event with an old fashioned Ice Cream Social for a fun, community meet-up.
Serums are a game changer when it comes to fine-tuning your skin, But let’s be honest: the skincare aisle is incredibly confusing. You absolutely can change your skin—you just need someone to break down the "how" for you. We all want better skin, and serums are the secret weapon to get it. Join Esthetician and Sanitas Representative Erin Raphael for this free presentation.
We are also serving up homemade ice cream to keep you cool while you learn about serums! Everything is all-natural with zero fillers, zero preservatives, and incredible flavor. Register

Golden History: The First Buffalo Bill Days
80 Years Ago
The first Buffalo Bill Days was held in August of 1946. The celebration was so named because it was the 100th anniversary of Buffalo Bill's birth. The town was in a wildly celebratory mood: World War II was over. Victory had been declared in Europe in May, and Japan surrendered on August 15th.
That year, 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.
The celebration has evolved over the years. We still have the parade, don’t have fireworks or a dance, but we’ve added a pancake breakfast, food and craft vendors, and non-stop high-quality live music. Learn more about this year's event—and plan to attend!
