THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES...!

Another Homecoming with perfect weather, an opportunity to reconnect with family and friends, and celebrate the rich heritage of Buxton... If you were able to be a part of the 85th Homecoming - playing ball, attending the conference, partying at the dance, marching in the parade, driving in the cruise... or volunteering to keep the washrooms clean, emptying the recycle boxes, running the beer tent, directing traffic, cooking corn, quilting in the log cabin, giving tours in the museum... THANK YOU, because without you, Homecoming just wouldn't be as meaningful or fun.

Planning will soon be underway for the 2010 Homecoming (86th)...
