A signing event for “Most Likely to Survive,” a recently released book detailing West Seneca resident Matthew Faulkner’s miraculous recovery from traumatic brain injury, will be held from 6 to 8:30 p.m. Thursday, June 20, at the Impact Artists Gallery, Tri-Main Building, Suite 545, 2495 Main St., Buffalo. The event is part of the Fine Art Healing & Health Exhibit which runs through June 29.

Written by West Seneca native Joe Kirchmyer and Faulkner, the book details Faulkner’s automobile accident on March 2, 2009, that left him in a deep coma for two months with almost no chance of survival. Against all odds, he would walk out of ECMC 103 days later and across the stage at high school graduation just two weeks after that. Faulkner graduated, on time, from Canisius College in May of this year.

The Buffalo Zoo will host the inaugural BuffaLoveFest this Friday.

The event is new this year, and will feature the very best of Buffalo including over 50 Buffalo-centric artisan vendors, craft beer tastings from local microbreweries, food trucks, a Buffalo trivia tournament, a local celebrity dunk tank, and live music from some of the area’s most popular bands. The evening will kick off with a special first-time performance by the BuffaLoveBirds all star band featuring Lance Diamond, Ali Critelli, Eric Crittenden, Vinnie DeRosa, Mike Wagner, and Rob Lynch.

Luna the polar bear cub will also make an appearance at the event.

The Zoo has already sold over 1,200 tickets and that number is expected to grow.
