Welcome banners brighten Buffalo Center downtown scene
Buffalo Center Community Club installed 16 banners along Main Street with the theme Small Town, Big Fields, Great People. Dewey Hinz fixed a banner to a street light. The club’s motto and design contests preceded the display, after plans for Highway 9 banners were rejected by Alliant Energy. The event tied to local arts shows in Clear Lake with multiple first, second, and third place ribbons awarded to artists from Buffalo Center, Thompson, and Clear Lake, with state competition in Calmar on May 5. Towa Artists spans 12 areas statewide.
