Buffalo Powder Keg Festival!!!
November 24, 2009
![]()
The fact that Buffalo really doesn’t have a winterfest is kinda bizarre. After all, cities like Quebec and Montreal pride themselves on their winter wonderlands. A couple years back, Labatt took a stab at a pond hockey tournament. Now moving into its third year, the event has captured the imaginations of people who actually want to celebrate winter. This year the pond hockey tournament will be held on two days – February 27th and 28th.
Recently, there has been an additional festival in the works that organizers (myself included) are in the midst of planning. For now, it’s being called the Buffalo Powder Keg Festival – to pay homage to both the snow as well as our history of brewing.
There will be plenty of festivities planned for those two days – some of the ideas being bandied about are: Ice sculptures, snowman building contests, sleigh rides, a snow maze, hot cider booths, hot pretzels and peanuts, sledding hills, live music, snow queen contest, toboggan pulls, festival of lights, a bike race, tubing, a parade, 5k snow run, snow shoveling contest, sorority/fraternity igloo building, fireworks, snow shoeing, pancake breakfasts, curling demonstrations, a festive ball, ice snow globes, chili contest… The festival will be family friendly, with a variety of chalet inspired retreats including the wrap-around decks of the Pearl Street Brew Pub that would mimic ski chalet decks.
At this point we are looking for people who are interested in participating or volunteering for the festival. If you have suggestions we want to hear them. Also, if you have a group of people, such as a business or organization, let us know and we can brainstorm levels of involvement. I can be reached at Newell@BuffaloRising.com.

Lawmakers reconvene emergency sessions
“A deal could be reached before Thanksgiving; Gov. David Paterson has threatened to keep legislators in town until they fix the hole in the budget.”
“No one wants to cut health care or education. But given that they make up more than half of the entire budget, we simply have no other choice,” Paterson wrote to legislators.
“We must put politics aside and put the people of our state first—not the special interests. The warnings are clear, and those who choose to ignore them do so at their own peril,” he wrote.
Let’s see what that means exactly. Or else, no Turkey for you.

Neurotic Inspiration?

Hello. My name is Jennifer Smith. I have an extreme aversion to cotton balls, and a Facebook account I’m not afraid to use.

Squeak! Screech! Those creepy things that make us cringe
The flu hit Jennifer L. Smith hard. The Allentown woman suffered from symptoms for two weeks, including fever, chills and coughing.
But in some ways, being confronted by the cotton wadded under the cap of a new bottle of Tylenol was the worst part.
The allthingsjennifer.com blogger vented on her Facebook page: “Am I the only one out there who HATESHATESHATES cotton balls and the feel of them? I opened a new big bottle of Tylenol and there it was staring at me. AAAAH! Would I rather have a fever, or feel that cotton scratch along the side of the bottle? Tough choice.”
