Some of the biggest and best motocross stars from around the world will be heading to Erie County for the FreestyleMX.com Tour at the 172nd Annual Erie County Fair on Saturday,  August 13th at 7 pm. The show will feature a Big Air Competition, which sends riders off of a 60 foot jump. While in the air riders challenge themselves and the laws of gravity to complete the most amazing trick.

The freestyle portion of the show has riders performing a timed routine combining speed, jumps and stunts to wow the crowds and judges alike. This is set to be a show like no other; you will be on the edge of your seat all night long gasping at the amazing tricks, the fast paced routines and the skill of some of the world’s best riders!

Join us at the Buffalo & Erie County Historical Society for our third 2011 Family Day, sponsored by the Northwest Buffalo Community Center. The Summer Family Day takes place on Sunday, June 12, from 1 to 4 p.m. Admission is $5 members/$10 for non-members. Adults are free when accompanied by paying children.

Our Family Days have evolved into wonderful experiences for those of all ages. Taking place in our classic State Court, on our iconic Portico and throughout the varying exhibit spaces in the museum, there is always something to do and see.

Especially compelling right now is our redesigned and refurbished Oishei Pioneer Gallery. A full wall-mural of Buffalo in pioneer times, as well as areas for kids to play and interact are just a few of the highlights.

The Family Day events welcome those of all ages to the museum, to enjoy activities including:

- historic arts and crafts

- museum tours

- artifact scavenger hunts
