Frpm the April 8th Niagara News "It'ss be red, white-but no blue for Buffalo mayor after Team Canada's Battle of the Border win."
Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown will be wearing red and white the next time he attends a public event in his city. He and Fort Erie (Canada) Mayor Dory Martin had a friendly bet. The mayor of the losing team would wear the jersey of the winning one.
Team Canada won 7-5.
Fort Erie was the site on the bloodiest War of 1812 battle and the stepping off point of the last American invasion of Canada in early July 1814. Buffalo was burned during the war.
