Up-Close at Forest Lawn
Recently, the pages of Buffalo Spree featured the Blocher Monument at Forest Lawn Cemetery as one of our favorite WNY landmarks. To see it up close this summer, the Buffalo and Erie County Historical Society and Forest Lawn are offering 90-minute tours through Forest Lawn’s historic grounds by air-conditioned motor coach. It’s an up-close view of a beautiful, relaxing spot.

The old-fashioned country fair and craft is put on each year by the Rotary Club of Niagara County on the grounds of the Sanborn Fire Company grounds on Route 429 (Buffalo Street). The two days feature a car show for adults, a petting zoo for kids, and music and food for all.
