20th Annual Family Fun Buffalo Watch Fundraiser for Whitehouse First Aid and Rescue Squad

On Saturday, May 19, 2018 from 9am to 5pm Saturday, June 9th, 2018 9am to 5pm stop by at the Readington River Buffalo Farm(937 County Road 523, Flemington, New Jersey); a historic, maintained working farm preserve.  The Buffalo Farm will be hosting a Fundraiser for the Whitehouse Rescue Squad.

The event started with a single grill and a buffalo farm walking tour. Over these 20 years, the annual fundraiser grew the Buffalo Watch to a local destination! With positive support from neighbors and friends, the Buffalo Watch now features live bands, a field and barns of crafters, a food court, activities for kids, a hometown saloon and a great daytime experience. The original hay wagon ride, farm tours, buffalo herds and grilled buffalo burgers remain. All at reasonable cost with all proceeds benefiting our local Whitehouse Rescue Squad.

This year they have an outstanding line-up of family fun activities and some great attractions for the adults too.   You’ll have the rare opportunity to get a close-up and personal view of bison and their newborn calves.  Tour guides will give you an education on the wagon trail and provide fun facts about these magnificent animals and the incredible 300+ acre farm they call home.

For a , that goes directly to the Whitehouse Rescue Squad, your day will include farm tours, live bands, civil war reenactment camps, WWII army equipment, blacksmith demonstration, live wild west cowboy shows, native American Indian, wolf preservation animal and much more.  In addition, there will be a good selection of crafters, collectors, memorabilia and antique vendors if you’re looking for that something special to wear, display or cherish as a keepsake.

The children love the pony rides, face painters and hay wagon tour rides.  If its the food you’re looking for don’t forget to stop for Italian Ices, Soda, BBQ, Pizza, Burgers, hot dogs, popcorn, or pastries. The farm owners are again grilling buffalo burgers.

This year they are introducing a handful of food truck vendors that are well known and part of the NJ food truck Association.   That should pair well with a cold glass of beer or wine from the “Red River Saloon”.   The Saloon is for those 21 and over.  This custom designed bar captures the spirit of a 1800 gunslinger saloon and we have a special day permit authorized by the State of NJ, Division of ABC.  Permit #57992

They anticipate 8-10,000 attendees at this one-day family event.  All proceeds go to the Whitehouse First Aid and Rescue Squad. Proudly serving all of Readington Township. Follow the event on Facebook for updates https://www.facebook.com/events/157557961620502/
