Events 10/26/09

Here we are Halloween week – one of the biggest weeks of the year for web traffic on Buffalo.com! I’m hoping many of you will volunteer for one of the many events.



The events list is a little bit different this time around. I’ve listed Haunted Houses, Halloween Parties, then everything else going on in WNY, some holiday-related some not.



We were requested to cover the Darwin Martin House Fundraiser on October 29. See the list for more information.



Remember those “Smile for the Camera” shots and remember to incorporate your photo titles with your event descriptions!



Keep in mind – when you request an event don’t reply to this email – just send me another email with all the details, and I’ll do all the legwork.



The Rack ‘em Up contest is officially over, which means all your Buffalo.com cards are now outdated. I’m working on getting new ones, and will keep you posted. Use the old ones until the new ones come in.



Thank you!
