Check out HARBOR CENTER – the Pegulas’ latest addition officially opened on October 30^th, when Tim Hortons opened its doors, and the ice was broken in on October 31^st with the Canisius College/Ohio State game, but there’s plenty going on in November – another Canisius/Ohio game on November 1^st, the HARBOR CENTER Cup U16 and U18 tournaments through November 2^nd and the debut of the Buffalo Junior Sabres on November 4^th.

Get your holiday shopping in gear – before Black Friday, there’s plenty of shopping to be done. Check out the Clarence Holiday Arts and Crafts Show November 1^st and 2^nd, Christmas in the Country at the Hamburg Fairgrounds November 6^th through 9^th and Shea’s Shopping Soiree on November 20^th. Still looking for more? There’s Christmas in Ellicottville November 28^th through 30^th (that’s Black Friday weekend).

Get ready for Santa – yes, Buffalo, it’s that time of year already. Santa arrives at the Herschell Carrousel Factory Museum on November 29^th, but I’m sure he’ll show up at a mall or two before then.

Visit the Buffalo History Museum – the brand new Tim Russert exhibit is open, and the Museum is hosting the 16^th annual Paint the Town fundraising event on November 6^th. M&T Third Friday takes place November 21^st, and November 28^th is Train Day at the Museum.

Check out the baby giraffe at the Buffalo Zoo – the new cutie and his parents will have some down time while they get adjusted to each other (first-time parents and all), but you’ll be able to see them through the windows of the giraffe house. If you’re a military member, you and up to four guests will be admitted to the Zoo for $5 on November 11^th (Veterans Day).
