Newcrest Publishing & Ultraprint announce “Buy1Give1” partnership with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Rochester

Buy1Give1

Because we believe that exploring all the fun things to do in our community should be shared!

Here’s how it works:

  • Buy a copy of 60 Great Places to go With Kids Within 60 Miles of Rochester on on our website or from a local merchant, or order books for your organization’s fundraiser, business gifts or company event.
  • For every book purchased, we’ll donate a copy to Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Rochester. The “Bigs” and “Littles” enjoy using the book to choose the places where they can spend time together, have fun, and build memories.

With your help, we’ll distribute hundreds of copies each year so Rochester’s Big Brothers, Little Brothers, Big Sisters and Little Sisters can have more fun together!

“I wanted to personally thank you for donating the 60 Fun Things to Do Within 60 Miles of Rochester books to us. Our Bigs and Littles can look through it together for ideas. Our matches truly benefit from activity ideas like the ones in your book because the activities help them to form that special bond. Thank you again for your kindness!”

A New Where-to-go-with-Kids Guidebook for Buffalo

There’s a new book for families looking for winter fun ideas:  60 Great Places to Go With Kids Within 60 Miles of Buffalo features more than 60 kid-friendly, fun places to go—all within an hour’s drive from home.

Buffalo and the surrounding areas are full of incredible places to go with kids, and this book describes the popular as well as off-the-beaten-track sites that are fun for the entire family.   Whether you like outdoor activities, historic places, museums, animals, festivals, the arts, sports or nature, there’s something for everyone to explore and enjoy within the pages of this convenient, pocket-sized book.

Says co-author Connie Herrera, “If you’re new to the Buffalo area, I want you to be astounded at your luck in moving here. If you’re here for a visit, I hope you’ll want to come back again to do more. And, if you’ve lived here all your life, I hope you’ll be surprised at how many places you haven’t yet explored and how many you want to visit again.”

Grandparents, too, will love the variety of options for outings with their grandchildren. Said one surprised grandparent, “I gave the book to my grandkids and they picked out a place I would never have expected them to choose. You just never know what will interest kids until they read about it themselves.”

You can purchase the book on this website or visit one of the stores listed.

You can spend a whole day here—there’s so much to see and do.  Explore the animals and plants that thrive in the deserts of North America and Africa.  See birds of prey (hawks, falcons, eagles, and vultures) and mammals (coyotes, wolves, mountain lions, and bobcats) housed in enclosures as close to natural environments as possible, as well as African animals such as the rare addax, hornbills, weaver finches, meerkats, rock hyrax, warthog, sand cat, fennec fox, giraffe and ostrich, cheetah, Cuvier’s gazelle, and the rare Grevy’s Zebra. Stroll through exotic desert gardens filled with butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees. Step into the Discovery Center for fun hands-on activities (and a dose of cool air conditioning).  A special delight for kids and kids-at-heart is one of the largest outdoor train exhibits with more than 3,300 feet of track, covering 3/4 acre.  There’s a petting zoo, merry-go-round, and a tram that travels around the grounds, so you can get on and off at exhibits.
