BUFFALO: \u00a0Longmire Days August 17-18<\/h3>\n

A&E\u2019s No. 1 original hit drama series \u201cLongmire\u201d has launched into its second season with more than 4.3 million viewers, the series is one of A&E’s most successful shows to debut. To celebrate the series \u2013 and the fact that \u201cLongmire\u201d best-selling author Craig Johnson hangs his cowboy hat here in Johnson County Wyoming \u2013 the Buffalo, Wyoming, Chamber of Commerce will host its second-annual \u201cLongmire Days\u201d on Aug. 17-18.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Longmire” is based on Johnson\u2019s New York Times best-selling Walt Longmire Mystery novel series (\u201cA Serpent\u2019s Tooth,\u201d Johnson\u2019s 9th Longmire novel, was released in June.) The series weaves the story of a dedicated, charismatic yet emotionally troubled small-town sheriff who seeks out the truth as secrets, betrayal and murder swirl in fictional Absaroka County, Wyoming. Johnson, who lives in the tiny community of Ucross, Wyoming (population hosting a grand total of 25 residents), uses Buffalo and Johnson County characters and locations to breath life into Longmire\u2019s hometown of Durant, Wyoming, and Absaroka County.
\nJohnson will again be a huge part of the celebration, with book signings and participation in many of the planned events. But new this year will be guest appearances by many of the actors from the hit show, including Adam Bartley (The Ferg); Cassidy Freeman (Cady Longmire); Bailey Chase (Branch Connally); Katee Sackhoff (Victoria \u2018Vic\u2019 Moretti); and Robert Taylor (Sheriff Walt Longmire). A tight-knit cast, all have all agreed to attend \u201cLongmire Days\u201d to help celebrate the success of the show \u2013 and be a part of the community of Buffalo and Johnson County, the \u201creal life\u201d setting for the series. Actor Lou Diamond Phillips (Henry Standing Bear) will also attempt an appearance, if his schedule allows.<\/p>\n
