convenience.

There was food from Zambistro, Steak, Stone & Sushi, Wagner’s, Molinaro’s Ristorante, Pickle Annie’s, Sweet Melody’s, Blackman Homestead Farms, Hens Honey Bee Farm, Barker Chocolate Box, That Popcorn Shack, and Naturally Nuts.
This year saw the addition of a shuttle bus guests and a new seating area at the north side of the arena.
As is the norm, the event was most packed between its 5 p.m. open and about two hours later. It continued on to 9 p.m. for the hearty. A 4 p.m. VIP opening allowed 100 who purchased $50 tickets for the extra hour.
While many Lockport-area notables were in attendance, it was apparent that the event had become a regional draw. Many in attendance were from outside the county.
Co-chairman Tom Murphy called the event a success.
