BRO submission by Steve Stipanovich:

The Black Rock Canal Park Steering Committee is hosting the "Picnic for the Park" to benefit the construction of Black Rock Canal Park, the re-envisioning of the Ontario Street Boat Launch in Riverside.  The project will repair the current boat launch; reconfigure parking to add greenspace along the Niagara River; re-align the bike path along the river; add a boardwalk, mixed-use building with restaurant and meeting facilities, dog park, and picnic shelters.  Green design techniques will be used throughout the project.  Information on the fundraiser is below:

if it's a $25 dollar donation, then why would i need a $5 off coupon? it would make more sense to offer $5 less, correct?

however, when you use the word admission in regards to the coupon, it confuses. is it a $25 admission fee, or is it a $25 donation?

ah, buffalo. such a lack of clarity, such a lack of character.

And do they have nonprofit status a donation? Your right on about the ue of the word admission. I would be wary since they don't seem to know which way is up on the admission/donation thing.

Just to clarify this is a non-profit, community based organization and any donation is tax deductable.

What are they planning to do about the black rock canal stench? Every time we drive I190 my girlfriend asks me if I farted because of the stink in the air. Honey, I swear I didn't fart. Thats just the way it smells round here.

I think it must be you, There has not been a problem with odors since the sewer authority finally addressed this issue. The Black Rock Canal had nothing to do with it.

It stunk diving by last Saturday. It wasn't me.

This ad is pretty vague. Do you get any food, drinks, a band for the $25 admission, or do you just go and sit under a shelter? If that's the case, then it's a covercharge!
