I had a lot of fun putting this coloring book together - thank you to the Niagara Gazette, Lockport Sun and Journal and my fellow legislators for bringing our history to all our elementary school students in the county. Please share and download to enjoy.

Proud to help celebrate America’s 250th anniversary by sharing these special America 250 coloring books with local students! 🇺🇸

These books give kids a chance to learn about our community’s role in history while expressing their creativity. As we approach this historic milestone, it’s important to inspire the next generation to appreciate the people, events, and ideals that shaped our country.

Legislators Randy R Bradt, Jesse Gooch, and I were proud to present a Niagara County Cultural Endowment check to the West Herr Riviera Theatre.

For nearly 100 years, the Riviera has stood as an iconic part of North Tonawanda’s history and identity. We in the Niagara County Legislature are proud to continue supporting this treasured institution and the important role it plays in our community.

Today, we remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice to protect our freedom and keep our nation strong.

As you spend time with friends and family today, take a moment to honor and remember the military heroes who gave their lives for our country. Freedom is never free, it comes at a profound and painful cost.

🇺🇸 We remember. We honor. We will never forget.

This is a long-standing tradition in the Twin Cities. Thank you to Dennis Smilinich of American Legion Post 264, along with his team of volunteers and the Boy Scouts, for continuing to honor and remember the veterans who are no longer with us. It made this year especially meaningful to have my sons involved and help carry on such an important tradition.

Yesterday, Legislator Randy R Bradt and I stopped by the Herschell Carrousel Factory Museum to present a check from Niagara County’s Cultural Endowment Fund in support of the museum.

We also had the opportunity to tour the recently opened Music Room exhibit, which was incredible to see firsthand. If you have kids, be sure to take them to check out this unique piece of local history and experience everything the museum has to offer.
