The Holiday Season of 2021  once again came upon us with some uncertainty due to the ongoing annoying presence of COVID.  However, that did not stop the Christmas Spirit from shining thru, and people were out and about enjoying the festivities of the Tree Lighting Ceremony, along with visiting the small businesses along Hertel Ave to show support.  Hot Coco was handed out (thank you Dash’s for donating!),  carolers  were singing,  and Santa and Mrs Claus along with their elves paraded down the Avenue in their sleigh to be part of the Tree coming to life with lights. We appreciate the  wonderful tree donation by Councileman Joel...

What a wonderful Saturday it was in our North Buffalo neighborhood and along Hertel Avenue on April 24th.  This sun was shining, the day became warmer and the positive energy was everywhere as so many came out to partake in the annual Hertel Spring clean up event! From the Girl Scout troop, the Delaware Soccer Club,  the Nardin girls, St Joe’s boys, some of the small businesses, and the wonderful residents, the Avenue (and parking lots) were  cleaned, weeded and mulched to prepare for our summer season!
