Spring Fever - by Chuck Schaffstall of the Jay Coles Team

Are you tired of the cold? 

Are you wondering if Spring will ever get here? If so, you are not alone.  Many of us have cabin fever.   With the arrival of March, it is time to get out and explore.  No matter the season, Buffalo has so much to offer.  Here is just a small sampling of suggestions for a family outing.

  

If you have small children, the Shrine Circus will be in town March 13-16^th at the Fairgrounds in Hamburg.

   

Explore & More Children's Museum in East Aurora is a place worth visiting with small children.  It is a hands-on, interactive museum. The kids will love it. It is an inexpensive event the entire family can enjoy.  

 

If the cold weather has got you down, try spending the afternoon at the Buffalo & Erie County Botanical Gardens.  Your spirits are sure to be lifted.  

Looking forward to Spring?  Get some great gardening and landscape ideas at Plantasia-Party in the Garden at the Hamburg Fairgrounds from March 20-23^rd, 2014.  Discounted admission tickets can be found online. 

The Buffalo Home & Garden Show at the Buffalo Niagara Convention Center is also a worthwhile event.  It runs March 7-9^th  and March 14-16^th.  After visiting these events, you will be ready to tackle those Spring projects around your home.

Finally, how about visiting a museum or two?  The Buffalo History Museum, The Buffalo Museum of Science and the Albright-Knox Art Gallery are all located downtown. 

After taking in some culture, treat yourself to lunch on Elmwood and complete your day by visiting some of the Elmwood shops.  Elmwood has so much to offer.  There is something for everyone. Enjoy!
