Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway is holding its annual shareholder meeting in person this weekend for the first time in two years.
Tens of thousands of Berkshire shareholders have made the pilgrimage to Buffett's hometown of Omaha. The event has been heralded as "Woodstock for Capitalists."
The main attraction on Friday was "Berkshire's Bazaar of Bargains," which gathered dozens of the best-known businesses owned by Berkshire in the exhibit hall of the CHI Health Center. Geico, See's Candies, BNSF Railway, Dairy Queen, Duracell, and others showcased their wares, and employees explained their businesses to shareholders.
Some of the whimsical highlights of the exhibit hall were a Margaritaville-style pontoon boat, a 12-foot tall gecko, and numerous cardboard cut-outs of Buffett.
