BUFFALO TOURISM - STILL AT WORK
This office works hard to attract people to our community! We have great shoppes, lakes, parks, golf courses, winery, paintball field, eateries and orchards just to name a few things that draw people here on a regular basis! Of course our events, such as the Art & Craft Festival and Kite Festival are things we promote as they happen! We apply for grants that have some requirements as to where and how to spend those dollars. Due to COVID those were retracted and handed back out as a crisis grant with no restrictions so we can use those dollars more locally. That is good news this year as we encourage people in our own backyard to explore what Buffalo offers!
Explore Minnesota has changed its messaging, due to COVID, to explore more of the great outdoors. I'm sure you have seen this on TV - but it's a good start to get people to consider traveling again! They didn't use any voice over - just did great footage of Minnesota's regions with a fun musical track. Thought I would share!
