An estimated crowd of nearly 80 “Friends of the Buffalo Central Terminal” members participated in the last event of the 2007 season last Sunday, a private tour of the concourse and areas within the office tower. That event officially closed out our 5th season of public events.
In every measure, whether it be in attendance, revenue or feedback, this has been our most successful season to date. We welcomed visitors numbering more than 12,000 this year, many returning from years prior and commenting on the visible progress made on the project.
We are all non-paid volunteers and not professional event planners, so to pull off an aggressive and diverse schedule of events like we do not only takes a lot of time and effort but also nerves of steel. Each year, we learn new and better ways to bring these events to you and each year, we get bigger and bigger.
So, thank you Western New York, Southern Ontario and all of our out of towners for helping us keep this great building in the public eye. Without your interest and support, the project could not continue. It is you who give the Central Terminal a renewed purpose and a brighter future and I’m happy to have met and talked with many thousands of you over the past four years.
We’ll be back again next year, bigger and better than ever!
