I spent my Spring Break tracking down buffalo in Northeast Oklahoma with my mom. One of the places we went to was Bartlesville to see the buffalo herd at Woolaroc. However, we ended up spending most of the day searching for the decorated buffalo statues around town. There were about 30. Back in 1998, a local Girl Scout troop decided to make their Senior Gold project selling buffalo statues to companies and businesses in Bartlesville. The project became known as the Buffalo Stampede, and all the proceeds went to a non-profit organization called Mary Martha Outreach that provides food and other necessities to those in need.

Since it was 20 years ago, the statues are relatively worn down, some more than others. But they're in good enough shape to justify taking pictures of them. Bartlesville's tourism website had a list of statue locations, which made our endeavor possible. For each buffalo, I took a picture of it and with it. I'll share some of my favorites, along with any information I have on them.
