Family Fun Friday Photo Contest

Like we said, the Buffalo Bill Historical Center knows how to have fun! On Friday, November 11, we hosted a Family Fun Friday event that was all about art: "Let's pARTy!" One of the activities was the Firearms Photo Contest. We encouraged families to gussy-up in western wear that we provided, include at least one of our safe-to-handle prop firearms, and create a scene to photograph. Here are the finalists, as well as our grand prize winner. The winningly photogenic family receives two guest passes to the Center. Thanks to all who participated!
