Join Us Saturday At The
10th Annual Boom Days
Every half hour
experience the FREE grain elevator tours starting at 4:00pm with the last
tour at 6:30pm. You will be able to feel the history as you walk
through. When the lights go on the bands will start playing, it will be
the first time the lights were on in the Perot Grain Elevator since
1993! Come just to be part of the memories - as far as we know, no
other grain elevator in the world is equipped with a stage!
A fireworks display
around 10pm will light up the Lake Erie shoreline and the grain
elevators with a show that promises to amaze all!
The Edward M. Cotter
Fireboat was designated a historical landmark in 1996, after over 100
years of protecting the Grain Elevators. It is way cool and will be
docked at the Perot and available for tours. Some folks will be able to
board and witness the Boom Ball cast overboard to race down the mighty
Niagara, marking the end of winter and the start of spring in Buffalo.
The live bands rockin' at the elevators are the IF's and the Mark Winsick Band.
Just the fact that we have a stage for the bands in the Perot is
unbelievable and so exciting. This will be an event to remember, people!
Did you know the Elevators were built in 1909!
Dress warmly and bring
all of your friends. Get ready for a great time! This event will be
talked about for a long time. We have a bunch of heaters that will be
working overtime to warm the place up, but it will be a bit chilly -
that's the nature of the grain elevator any time of year. Layers people
layers!
Don't forget there will
be plenty of food to warm you up, too. Food trucks from a cadre of
Buffalo's gourmet bistros will be available including the brand new
Cheesy Chick Food Truck, the Roaming Buffalo, Whole Hog, Rolling Joes +
Sweet Temptations.
