A Chill Evening with Zac Brown Band at First Niagara Pavilion

This past weekend I attended the Zac Brown Band show and it was the first time I made the trip out to First Niagara Pavilion to see a concert. Strange to think, I know.

From wall art to silver jewelry, the festival offers a wide range of vendors–there’s something for everyone. The event appeals to all ages,… Read the rest
