Don Vidler
Proud native of East Aurora, NY and graduate of Hamilton College with BA degree (History and German).

The store is a regional destination and has appeared in several Christmas movies and been featured in national publications including Martha Stewart's Living and Business Week. Life-long and long suffering fan of Buffalo Bills and Buffalo Sabres, and not quite as long-suffering with the New York Mets.
