Buffalo Days to feature live music, bed races June 6-9 in La Moille

Buffalo Days are coming Thursday, June 6, through Sunday, June 9, to La Moille.

Proceeds from Buffalo Days support many community projects. In the past year, the proceeds provided leadership awards, Christmas Mitten Tree at the library, churches of La Moille, La Moille Easter egg hunt, DCFS Christmas for kids, flowers for the village and Buffalo Days storage shed. In the past 22 years, La Moille’s leadership awards have been given to 82 recipients totaling $67,250.

The festival will feature live music Friday through Sunday, a bed race 10:30 a.m. Saturday morning and plenty of family-friendly activities each day.

A parade is scheduled 11 a.m. Saturday on Main Street. Newt and Mary Lundquist and Jan Becker will serve as the grand marshals. The parade will be conducted in memory of Robert Henry and Norm Hall. Parade registration will be at the high school parking lot and the parade route will go north this year on Main Street, starting at Burnett Street and ending at the park.
