Bogie Shooter is correct. TV "mascot" is/was the Buffalo (hence the name of the high school). I say "was", and this is for you newer Villagers, because we used to have gorgeous herds of buffalo roaming many of the pasture enclosures in TV. One day, some IDIOT was doing something w/the buffalos they shouldn't have been doing, got injured by one of them and tried to sue the Morse family for damages. The Morse family responded by removing all the buffalo from public areas. I've heard they are now kept on the Morse's private property, out-of-sight of the public. Such a shame one person had to ruin it for the rest of us. sigh.
There was quite a big to-do when we residents found out they were going to remove them. There were petitions being signed on both squares to try to keep them, all to no avail.
If any posters out there have a different version of this bit of Village "history", please re-post what you know. This is how I heard and experienced it. (of course hubby and I signed the petition to keep the buffalo)!
