It;s nice to see events happening in Western New York that are focused on wellness and good health for residents in our communities. Yes we all love of wings, pizza and beer and because we do, it's important to care of our health.  The first West Side Community Day on Friday, June 29, 2018, from 2 p.m. - 5 p.m. at Rich Products (Atrium and parking lot). This is a free event for the whole family and will include an EPIC Storytime with Buster Bison, Awesome Animals with the Buffalo Zoo and Super Science Stuff with Explore and More.
