Memorial Drive Traffic Circle Lamppost to be Fixed

Wednesday, June 11th, 2008

I just got out of a meeting with Council President Franczyk. While I was there, he got Public Works Commissioner Steve Stepniak on speakerphone and I told him about the circle’s lamppost being run over last Friday. He advised that he would send someone out to look at it and have it repaired right away.

Central Terminal Wine Fest is coming!

Tuesday, June 10th, 2008

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Second Annual Wine Fest at the Buffalo Central Terminal to be held on Saturday, June 28, 2008 from 12 noon to 5pm.

Event will feature wineries from throughout New York State, live music, and a
farmers market featuring food grown/made in New York.

Participating wineries will offer a sampling of their wines, and event attendees will be able to buy bottles of the featured wines straight from the Vineyards. With the rising cost of gas, event attendees are able to sample and taste many New York State wines in one place, without having to travel from vineyard to vineyard.

The farmers market supports local growers and vendors and offers event attendees to purchase items such as local blended teas, jams, and honey.

A raffle will be held, with a grand prize of two round trip tickets on Southwest Airlines.

Admissions tickets are $20 presale, and include unlimited wine tasting and a souvenir glass. Presale tickets are available at brownpapertickets.com or at Chateau Buffalo. Tickets are available for $25 at the door on the day of the event. You must be 21 years old or over to attend.

All activity will be held inside the historic Central Terminal, and therefore the event will be held rain or shine. All proceeds from the event will benefit the preservation and restoration of the Buffalo Central Terminal.
