Special Events: The annual “Heart of Music Festival” was held on Saturday June 13%. The
event went well with all of the advanced planning that was put into place. Festival
organizers indicate a lighter crowd than usual. There were many other events happening
on the same day in the Buffalo Niagara Region. There were a handful of drunk and
disorderly disturbance calls reported later in the night. The festival organizer and
participating venues are due to appear before the Village board at a later date to discuss
the event.
