Spend time at the Sturgis Buffalo Chip, and you’ll find that the people you meet don’t just become your friends, they become family you can’t wait to reunite with every year.
The feeling begins with Buffalo Chip founder Rod “Woody” Woodruff. After establishing the Chip back in 1981, Woody sought the help of his family to grow the business. When he needed more help, he continued to treat each new employee like they were family, too.
Throughout the years, Woody has extended the same warm welcome to everyone who comes to the Chip, whether you’re an employee, business partner or guest. In doing so, he has grown the party into the largest and longest-running family-owned-and-operated operated music festival in the world.
