McCOOK, Neb. — Jean Coady of Lighthouse Marina on the Red Willow Lake north of McCook and bison rancher Darrell Meister are cooperating on a special bison breakfast at the marina from 8 a.m. until 11 a.m. on June 2, the Sunday of McCook's annual Buffalo Commons Storytelling Festival Friday through Sunday.

Breakfast will consist of four bison sausage links, two eggs, hash browns and toast for $6.

Jean invites those taking in Buffalo Commons activities to come for breakfast before or after the viewing of the bison herd and spring bison babies that Darrell will start at 9:30 a.m.

Bison jerky will be available at the marina, and also during visits to Darrell's 26-head herd of American bison.

During the 2018 Buffalo Commons festival, Meister hosted very popular bison viewings on a "History's Mysteries" bus tour and the Lighthouse served equally-popular bison burgers.

To make arrangements for bison herd viewings on Saturday or Sunday, contact Darrell at swnbison@gmail.com or (808) 779-8348.
