view the shore line of WNY and Fort Erie, Canada. Following our boat cruise we will stop at Kelly’s Country Store. At
Kelly’s Country Store you will find unique gifts, a large selection of candy and fresh fudge. Sniff the lovely fragrance
of the Candle Room and see the gleaming brass and crystal giftware. Have fun picking out a pound of candy from the
many rows of old-fashioned jars, such as licorice, root beer barrels, peach stones, snaps and many more. Kelly’s
Country Store’s old world charm makes for a wonderful shopping experience!
