From February 19th to the 23rd, the Buffalo AKG will host Erie County Free(ze) Week on the museum’s Great Lawn. Along with free admission to the Museum for Erie County residents, with special family-focused programming, the Great Lawn will become a winter wonderland. Snow machines from Kissing Bridge will be running throughout the week, creating a magical wintery scene, complete with a vintage Kissing Bridge Sno-Cat. The snow machines will ensure that there is a blustery winter scape – perfect for snow sculpting – just in case Mother Nature has other plans in mind.
