fourth of july

Brantley Gilbert made a lifelong friend on a recent motorcycle ride with the Wounded Warrior Project when Staff Sgt. Justin Patterson decided to thank the country star in an unexpected way, giving him his first Purple Heart medal.

Sometimes you need a vacation but aren't able to get out of town. For some cities, it's not a problem and for others it leaves residents bumming hard with nothing to do or see. What about Buffalo, NY?

Let's face it, summer in the Buffalo area goes by like a flash.  If you enjoy swimming and staying cool but do not have a pool in your own backyard then checkout these awesome places that we think you'll enjoy with the whole family.

Because of a computer malfunction, all of the fireworks fired at once.

Ah, dads and golf – a tale as old as time.

Buffalo does not go cheap celebrating America's birthday. The list for the firework displays around Western New York is massive.

Looking for a unique weekend away from home in the Buffalo-Niagara region/Western New York? Theme park camping and guest houses, a historic mansion, the setting of Jim and Pam's honeymoon on the TV Show The Office, a National Historic Landmark and more amazing getaways are scattered around the region...

What a great year for concerts in Western New York! 2015 is shaping up to be the biggest and best year for you to see your favorite stars. The list is so incredible, it may be easier to mention who WON'T be coming. The lineup for this summer's Jam In the Valley is just one of the many festival style concerts that has a power cast of stars!

The only Fourth of July episode of anything worth mentioning is the series finale of ‘The Wonder Years.’ Airing on May 12, 1993, an epilogue set during a Fourth of July parade became one of the most memorable television moments of the last 25 years.

Three cheers for the red, white and blue!
