Buffalo Round-Up


During the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake, the Arts Council sponsored a "buffalo round-up" project where several cities painted life-size buffalo statues. These buffalo were then "rounded up" and auctioned off. They now reside in many different locations around the state. This patriotic buffalo statue sits on the lawn in front of the Davis County Courthouse in Farmington, right across the street from where I work.

Hi Gayle,
That is awesome! I am so glad you found the photo and left your comment. That certainly adds more meaning to the picture.
