==Picnic==
The Buenie Picnic has been held since 1929, on the Sunday of [[Labor Day]] weekend, 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". He was fined $100. Following that incident, in 1973, the Iowa Legislature legalized bingo, raffles and other low-stakes games of chance.<ref>{{cite news|last=Offenburger|first=Chuck|title=The little place that launched gambling in Iowa|url=http://www.offenburger.com/lspaper.asp?link=20010826|access-date=26 February 2013|date=Aug 26, 2001|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061026063900/http://www.offenburger.com/lspaper.asp?link=20010826|archive-date=26 October 2006|url-status=dead}}</ref>
