Picnic

The Buenie Picnic has been held since 1929, generally around Labor Day, as a benefit by the local Immaculate Conception Catholic Church. In 1971 the picnic was raided and parish priest Rev. Carl Ruhland was charged with "running a gambling house". Following that incident, in 1973, the Iowa Legislature legalized bingo, raffles and other low-stakes games of chance.[5]
