BFC's Co-Founder and Campaign Coordinator Mike Mease is hitting the road again in September and October for his annual BFC Road Show, and he could use your help!
As he has done since 1999, Mike will be visiting communities in Washington, Oregon, and California to share music, stories, video, and discussion—all of which is inspired by the last wild bison. New this year, we are adding Colorado and New Mexico!
Mignon Geli, flutist, is joining us on the road again this year. Mike will also be joined by musician The Unexpected Brass Band. See dates below for times and locations.
Please check our Calendar of Events or the 2019 Road Show Events below for locations, and join our veteran buffalo defenders for an inspiring time!
