Where’s Woody?

The Buffalo Chip’s ubiquitous Rod “Woody” Woodruff loves to meet campers. He turns up everywhere at the Chip, so keep your eyes peeled for his smiling face and say hello. Also look for Woody in the pages of the Sturgis Rider Daily to win Chip merch. Each day there’s a different Woody caricature hidden in a photo of an event or location he especially recommends. The first three read- ers who report their find to the Chamber of Commerce/Rally Info Center at the Chip Crossroads win a prize bag. And don’t forget If you’ve got a Buffalo Chip wristband and are riding a motorcycle, RFA has a free tank of fuel waiting to notice where Woody is hiding out, because that’s definitely the for you during Free Fuel Happy Hours at the Buffalo Chip Stop N Fuel.
