The Strange Will Never Change: 2020 Sturgis Buffalo Chip Lost & Found

PUBLISHED ON WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 2020
By Jeff Smith

2020 has been a weird year to say the least. While lots of folks have struggled to adapt to a “new norm,” the Chip stuck to their guns and did what they know best– throw a big ol’ 9-day frickin’ music and motorcycle party and invite anybody who wanted to come. Even in these strange times, one thing you can count on is attendees of the Best Party Anywhere® leaving behind a bunch of weird stuff after it’s over. Check out what made its way into the Chip’s 2020 Lost and Found and take solace in the fact that some things, although strange, will never change.
