Together, they have breathed new life in this little town through the complete
renovation of its Main Street, now called Buffalo Junction, the rebuilding of the
town’s high school football stadium, and the creation of Buffalo Point Retreat
event center with bed and breakfast accommodations. Waukomis is attracting
new small businesses and visitors because of the effort and investment put forth
by the Andersons.

have been richly blessed by her belief that the higher purpose of business is to
give, care and share
