Are you in Beautiful Buffalo for the holidays?

Join the Buffalo Old Home Week family at Sidebar, one of North Buffalo's coolest bars on Wednesday, December 27th at 7:00 p.m. for Happy To Be (Back) Here for the Holidays Happy Hour, the final Happy To Be (Back) Here Hour of the year!

bohw2007

Come share the holiday spirit (and perhaps some spirits!) and celebrate all the ways in which the Buffalo Renaissance has taken wings during 2006.

Grab every Expat, Repat, Transplant and enthusiastic Buffalo Booster that you know and head over to the Sidebar to participate in our on-going celebration of all that is great about Buffalo now and in the New Year!

And if you have a favorite iconic Buffalo item that you’d like to donate, bring it along and we’ll have some fun for a good cause. We’ll raffle off Buffalo books, art, jewelry, clothing, mugs -- you name it. Proceeds will go to the Olmsted ReLeaf project to help Buffalo recover its arboreal bounty.

We'll also be providing a sampling of some of the best food found in the emerging and culturally historic restaurant district of North Buffalo.

These gatherings are a great way to meet others who share your passion for our fair city. There will be plenty of (not Old Buffalo, not New Buffalo, but) Our Buffalo energy. Enjoy the high spirits and rich stories of people who have come from or wandered all over the nation and the world and found that Buffalo is where they want to live.

There will be no shortage of warm and enthusiastic people to meet, so even if you come alone and don’t know a soul, you’ll leave with new friends and new connections. There will be plenty to talk about: what new companies are opening in Buffalo? What’s the latest on the Waterfront? Where are the hot new jobs in the city and region? Who’s seen which shows and what they think about them as the new theater season gets underway. Of course, we'll also be making some important announcements about upcoming Buffalo Old Home Week events!

This is what Buffalo, does so very well: welcome, entertain, and connect. So whether you’re a Repat, a Transplant from other parts, or an enthusiastic Buffalonian who has never needed to leave to know how great this town is, you are cordially invited to come and be a part of this positive, energetic community.
