Spousal Program
The Buffalo-Niagara Region is rich in historic, architectural and cultural sites and if you do not wish to take advantage of the selections offered (below) and would like to plan your own tour of Buffalo and the surrounding areas, the following web link will be helpful: www.buffalocvb.org
The IronFest convention site is within easy access of the Thruway system, so you can ‘hop’ around Buffalo with the greatest of ease. But because of the price of gas, we will be organizing car pools, unless you prefer to explore on your own. There will be sign up sheets in the Registration area, so don’t be shy – make a new friend or two! Some trips will be self-directed (with maps and directions available) and others will have a guide.
