West Herr Rocks The Park

Buffalo Car Dealer Proud To Participate In Local Community Event

For the 5th year straight, the Orchard Park Recreation Department will host their "Art Rocks The Park" arts and music event at Green Lake Park in Orchard Park, NY.  West Herr is proud to be involved on multiple levels.

This year's slogan "Come Out and Play" is indeed a fitting one.  The Recreation Department offers free creative crafts and activities for all ages plus free hands on craft workshops. 

In addition there will be a community art show and live music.  The idea is to bring a community together and celebrate local art talent.

BW's Smokin Barrels Barbecue out of Depew will be on hand to sell food.  Food tickets are available to purchase at the Recreation Office.  Take a look at  BW's full menu here. 

One of the main attractions will be the annual design contest.  One item is chosen and all contestants must put their own spin on a design for it.  Last year the item was rocking chairs, this year it's guitars.  Fitting with the overall theme.

West Herr has already designed our guitar and it's on display in the showroom at West Herr Chevrolet in Orchard Park.  The staff at the Body Shop in Hamburg used a recycled car part for the whammy bar and old caps for the knobs.  A big thank you to Tom Bishop, Jim Boyd and Tony Brzezowski for their work on the guitar. 

We've got a preview of the guitar here but take a look at our Facebook page for full view.  It looks great and our staff went above and beyond what was necessary. 

Guitars and design contest details can be found The Rec. department encourages all participants to display their guitars until the day of the contest.  Full rules and regulations are available at the Orchard Park Recreation Department's Website or by calling (716) 662-6450.

Our guitar won first place!  Guitars were judged at Green Lake Park this past weekend at the Art Rocks the Park event.  33 total were entered- 19 in the adult category and 14 in the child category.

West Herr took 1st place in the adult category.  We'd like to thank our team at the Hamburg Collision Shop for their outstanding efforts in designing the guitar.  The team will enjoy a $25 gift certificate to Abbotts Ice Cream 4298 South Buffalo Street in Orchard Park. 

See the guitar on display now at Chevy Orchard Park.  It will soon move to the body shop where it wil stay.  Thanks again to the Orchard Park recreation department and everyone who came out to the event!
