Go Buster Go
The Damfinos are back in Muskegon, Michigan for our 2025 Convention. Join us on October the 3rd & 4th for two full days of our favorite comedian.
You can attend for the full event, just one day, just for the film and banquet – but if you’re a member of The International Buster Keaton Society you get $10 off the full event.
Highlights include:
A welcome at the historic train depot Buster and his family would have been very familiar with.
Talks and films on the subject of Buster Keaton’s life & works at the Muskegon Museum of Art.
Local expert, Ron Pesch is your guide on a walking tour of the Bluffton Actors’ Colony, where the Keatons and many other fellow Vaudevillians stayed and played during their summer lay-off.
Incredible Keaton rarities courtesy of ‘Paul Gierucki’s Cavalcade of Stuff’.
Our regular Damfinos Auction – a chance to bid for some tempting Keaton items and raise money for the Society.
Our spectacular Saturday night at the magnificent Frauenthal Theater in downtown Muskegon: our Thanksgiving Banquet in the Reception Gallery; our evening of films in the main Theater, accompanied by our maestro, Dennis Scott, at the magnificent theatre organ; and our traditional Speakeasy onstage at the Frauenthal.
We’ll have a block of rooms reserved at a discounted rate for the convention at The Shoreline Inn – booking information to follow.
All this and more, so join the Dam-family BACK in Muskegon.
