East Aurora Hosts Early Electrified Tree Lighting
By Historian Robert Lowell Goller On Christmas Eve 1914, East Aurora hosted what was likely among the first electrified Christmas tree lighting ceremonies in the world. Just a decade after the first recorded use of outdoor electric Christmas lights (on a tree in San Diego in 1904), and just two years after the first public tree lighting ceremony with electric lights (in New York City’s Madison Square Park in 1912), East Aurora flipped the switch on 250 electric lamps adorning a 35-year-old ev...

It's Bird Feeding Time
Bird feeding season is upon us now that October has come to an end. Does that mean your bird feeding station is going to be overrun with hungry birds? No, not yet, but there are several reasons to get your feeders ready and supplied with a variety of quality seeds. First of all, having feed in the feeders is a way of letting your birds know that there is food available. Over the last week or two I have noticed a significant insurgence of birds present in small feeding groups around the yard. ...

East Aurora's Air Mail Flight
By Robert Lowell Goller East Aurora didn’t even have an airport in May 1938, so news that the local postmaster was planning an air mail service caught many by surprise. East Aurora Postmaster Wayne Wright led a committee charged with launching the first plane from East Aurora with U.S. mail aboard. The May 19, 1938 flight, from East Aurora to the airport in Cheektowaga, was more symbolic than anything else, part of a nationwide effort to commemorate National Air Mail Week and the 20th anniver...

Highwire Cannabis Permit Revoked
The East Aurora Village Board has decided to revoke a Special Use Permit for a cannabis dispensary on Main Street. The permit was approved in April 2024 to a Michigan based company called Highwire.

Whole Latte Love
Imagine a bistro called “Whole Lattae Love,” that doesn’t serve lattes, mochas or espressos, just coffee. But coffee with a little something extra that seems to have interesting, if short-lived effects on its drinkers. Then imagine a harried owner, Isla, in hock to lenders, hectored by health inspectors, hiring the scatter-brained barista, Shelley, whose claim to fame is having been fired from every coffee shop in town. Throw in a cast of characters from silly to serious and everything in between and you have a play named after the bistro. “Whole Latte Love” by Todd Wallinger is Act Two of...

It was a mulching party at Knox Farm Park
(This story by Columnist Rick Ohler appeared in the East Aurora Advertiser.) It was, as she had advertised, a “mulching party” at Knox Farm State Park on Saturday, June 22, where a handful of us gathered at the behest of Nancy Smith, the former executive director of the Western New York Land Conservancy and now a community activist with an interest in urban forestry. For a couple of hours in the warmth of late June, we learned how to mulch young basswood and red maple trees by removing a strip of grass at 30 inches away from the trunk of...
