"This is Bonnie. She's a 10-year-old Clydesdale. We're doing rides today and we're pretty excited for it, she likes it here," said Erika Abbondanzieri of Banner Farms, who was running carriage rides.
"The community gets to come out, we all get together and sing, dance, taste test, support Black businesses," said Clarissa Clayton, a vendor.
"No place compares to Buffalo so that's a fun element," said Helen Mills of Georgia.
"There's a more small town feel about Buffalo that makes it special, so I like doing things in Buffalo because I like feel part of the community even though I no longer live here," said Ashley Maggiacomo of Boston, Massachusetts.
"Get it fixed back up, it's a beautiful building. [Buffalo Central Terminal] was a thriving hub at one time, no reason why it couldn't be that way again," said Todd Coner, a food vendor.
