Looking Back on Buffalo Homecoming 2009, Ahead to 2010!  

 

It was a fantastic celebration that included an inspiring exhibition of Buffalo Success stories, an intriguing presentation of great new start-up businesses in Greater Buffalo that are ready to thrive despite the economy, an enjoyable sunset reception on the top of City Hall, fantastic tours, and so much more.

 

If you missed it in '09, plan now to make it in '10. June 24-28. Visit the BH website.

 

 

And if you need another excuse to come back: Buffalo Book Fair! July 18, Delaware Park.

The Buffalo Committee will host the 4th Buffalo Book Fair on Friday July 18, 2008 from 12:00 am – 10:00 pm in the beautiful setting of Delaware Park and the Albright Knox Art Museum. The Buffalo Book Fair, free and open to the entire Western New York Community celebrates the power of reading through author presentations, book signings, interactive activities for children, seminars and panel discussions. The opportunity to meet and greet authors is one of the favorite activities of past book fair participants along with vendor shopping. This entertaining literary event attracted over 4,000 people last year. Here's their site..
