A Statement Released by the American Legion Riders

The Wheatfield American Legion Riders of Post #1451 will be riding this Saturday, May 19, Armed Forces Day, to benefit Niagara Hospice’s “We Honor Veterans” initiative.  For the second year, The Legion Riders will be honoring the veterans being served by Niagara Hospice and showing their appreciation for Hospice’s special treatment of our nation’s veterans.

With Mother’s Day now on the back burner, Niagara University’s Office of Continuing Education is offering a great gift idea for all the fathers out there.

Ideal for amateur barbecuers, their friends and for Father’s Day, NU is accepting registrations for an innovative, hands-on continuing education course that will teach participants how to cook competition-quality barbecue ribs from start to finish.

The course, which will take place Saturday, May 19, 2012, from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., will be instructed by Robert Giordano and Roy “Honcho” Gregory of the Smokin’ Eagles International BBQ Festival. The celebrated duo will share their secrets on preparing the perfect rack of ribs right down to the smoking, including recipe selection, seasoning options, cooking techniques and food safety tips.

Class participants will have the opportunity to sample their results at the conclusion of the demonstration.
