The annual Scajaquada Creek Clean-up sponsored by the Grant Amherst Business Association takes place on April 22nd. It is a half or all day event for the more intrepid. We will be meeting at the American Legion Post 1041 on Amherst Street next to Wegman’s at 8:30am on Saturday, April 22nd for coffee, doughnuts, tool sign-out and volunteer sign-in.
A hotdog and burger cookout at 1:00pm and a pizza pop and beer party at 7:00pm for those of us who work all day at the clean up and anyone else who helps and wants to come back after they have cleaned up. We will be cleaning the trash rack out on Friday with a few volunteers to make sure the creek has time to drain down to it’s normal level. There also is a metal retaining wall that is covered with graffiti that we are going to try and get a crew to clean off. We have a pressure washer available to do this.
Any and all are invited to join us! Questions to Mark at Joe’s Service Center at 716-877-8168.

Sometimes the authors at Buffalo Rising work on collaborative efforts in order to cover various events and stories. These posts can not be attributed to one single author, as it is a combined effort. Often times a formation of a post gets started by one writer and passed along to one or more writers before completion. At times there are author attributions at the end of one of these posts. Other times, “Buffalo Rising” is simply offered up as the creator of the article. In either case, the writing is original to Buffalo Rising.
