Buffalo Bill Birthday Ball

One of the council's major fundraisers, the Buffalo Bill Birthday Ball, is a rip-snorting cowboy extravaganza of music, dancing, roast buffalo dinner, raffle, auction, and Wild West entertainment to which the entire community is invited. The event is held annually on the Saturday nearest to Col. Wm F. (Buffalo Bill) Cody's Birthday (February 26).

The Cody Auditorium rocks during the Buffalo Bill Birthday Ball. Earlier in the week, members of Council 4031 will have converted the Cody Auditorium into Wolfville Hall, the dancing and gambling establishment that hosted the town's biggest events in the days when Colonel Wm. F. ("Buffalo Bill") Cody walked our streets. The birthday celebration includes a happy hour, charity gambling, door prizes, silent and live auctions that feature a buffalo robe and skull, costume contest, and a buffalo roast dinner. A live band such as Beacon Hill Band provides the dance music.
