family fun: Celebrate Buffalo Bill’s birthday
sunday. The Buffalo Bill Museum and Grave throws a rootin’-tootin’ birthday hoedown for its namesake. The party starts with a “Happy Birthday” sing-along led by an ensemble of Buffalo Bill look-alikes, plus free cake and ice cream. Then it’s time for games, including buffalo-chip-throwing and a Buffalo Bill and Annie Oakley costume contest. The birthday celebration also marks the first days of the museum’s new exhibit, “Buffalo Bill Superhero.” Using a collection of old “dime novels” as a backdrop, the exhibit draws parallels between modern-day comic-book superheroes and Buffalo Bill’s real-life personality and adventures. Noon to 3 p.m. Buffalo Bill Museum and Grave, 987-1/2 Lookout Mountain Road, Golden; 303-526-0747. Admission is free. . Kathleen St. John
