The first was Mechanicville on a rainy Sunday night. This is where I enjoyed the festive holiday train. They are traveling across the country to 106 stops. At each stop, they play live music and collect donations for the local food banks. Country Artist Lindsay Ell was the musical entertainment and she was awesome. The Canadian Pacific Holiday Train also presented the Mechanicville Community Center with a check for $3500 to help restock the food bank. Even though the weather wasn't ideal, a couple of hundred families joined the fun.

Former Buffalo Bills star, Cole Beasley left the team and was planning on playing with Tom Brady in Tampa but after a week, he decided to retire. He wants to spend more time being a dad. When he left the Bills, he put his Orchard Park home on the market. It sold on October 17th for $1.2 million. Check out this sprawling estate that the former Buffalo Bills wide receiver used to live in. It has 6 bedrooms, 4 and a half bathrooms, a three-and-a-half car heated garage, and sits on 4.6 acres.
