Niagara Falls Park receives another installment of $125,000 extreme makeover

In what has become something of a rite of spring, more than 50 National Grid employees returned to Gill Creek Park in Niagara Falls to continue efforts to beautify and transform this popular public park and community asset into one of Niagara County’s most picturesque and useful green spaces.  This is the fourth time in five years that National Grid volunteers have worked with city and neighbor organizations on projects in the park. 

The Winter Market at Horsefeathers, located at 346 Connecticut St., continues its successful run on Buffalo’s West Side from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday. Entertaining guests this Saturday, March 2, will be violinist David Adamczyk from 9:30 to 11 a.m., followed by singer/guitarist Davey O. from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Adamczyk has been entertaining crowds for several years at the Elmwood-Bidwell Farmers Market.

The market offers a wide variety of local food vendors selling everything from bread, spices, cheese, coffee, biscotti, cupcakes, cookies and eggs to vegetables, fruits, pasta,  salsa, dumplings, meat and wine. Customers will also find homemade soaps, all-natural dog treats and more.

The Elmwood-Bidwell Farmers Market Board of Directors is holding its third annual poster contest to promote the outdoor market’s 2013 season. Entries for the poster competition are due by 5 p.m. Friday, March 8. Whether you’re a student studying the arts, a professional graphic designer or just someone with a creative streak, you’re invited to submit your design for an 11x17-inch color poster that accurately reflects the feel of the Elmwood-Bidwell Farmers Market.
