1.31.12 - Red Bull brings the Butter to Buffalo
There’s something big coming to Niagara Square. And no, it is not a politically-charged drum circle inside a geodesic tent.
The Red Bull Butter Cup snowboard series will make an appearance in downtown Buffalo on Saturday, Feb. 11 as part of the third annual Buffalo Winterfest + Powder Keg Festival. An impressive 25 tons of snow will be piled into Niagara Square—that’s right, Buffalo, we’ve reached the point where we’re importing snow—to transform our mild-mannered downtown district into a winter wonderland where the best local athletes and amateurs will pound the powder to earn cash prizes and bragging rights.
