Painted Buffalo Hibernate
for the Winter!
Most of West Yellowstone’s herd of 26 painted buffalo will be
leaving their outside locations and moving indoors to hibernate over
the winter in a local warehouse. On June 9th, 2008 the herd returns
and will be corralled together on the lawn of the Yellowstone Historic
Museum Center.
Over the winter, a new group of buffalo calves will be “born” and also painted by western artists. The new group of calves will be unveiled on June 14th, 2008 and will be herded (along with the cows) to their new summer locations on June 15th.
Also planned is an Art Show featuring Northwestern Regional Art from June 13-15th at the nearby Union Pacific Hall. This show is open to the public and will feature artwork by many of the painted buffalo artists and others.
