Orchid Show
Oct 11th - 12th2655 South Park Avenue,
Buffalo, NY
In the fall of 1968, a small group of orchid growing enthusiasts began to meet at the Museum of Science and thus began the Niagara Frontier Orchid Society. The Niagara Frontier Orchid Society will celebrate its 40th anniversary with this judged show. The show will highlight hundreds of orchids thorough live displays and breathtaking photography. Ribbons will be awarded to creative orchid displays and orchid photography. The displays are designed by members of the Orchid Society and the photos were selected by the Twin City and the Buffalo Museum of Science photography clubs. Orchid vendors will have many seedling, flowering orchids and growing supplies available for purchase.
Orchid growing workshops will be given at 1PM and 4PM on Saturday and 12PM and 3PM on Sunday. Orchid society members will also be available throughout the show to answer your orchid questions. For more information, visit www.buffalogardens.com or call 716.827.1584.

Joe Satriani US Tour '08 with very special guest Mountain featuring Leslie West and Corky Laing.
If you are a guitarist, air-guitarist, or just a fan of great instrumental guitar rock, this is the show for you! Over the course of his illustrious career, Joe Satriani has achieved legendary success with his 12 solo albums and 3 platinum DVD's selling more than 10 million units worldwide and earning 15 Grammy nominations. He has traveled the world, playing to sold-out crowds as both a headliner and as founder of the all-star "G3" guitar extravaganza. Earlier this year, he released his 13th solo album entitled Professor Satchafunkilus and the Musterion of Rock (Sony/BMG).
Mountain is one of those rare bands in the past thirty years that can be credited with forging a style and sound that would forever change the face of rock music. Their biggest song, "Mississippi Queen" remains a classic rock staple to this day.
