The North
Ridge was founded as an official chapter of the global Fan Force community
in September of 2002 and has members throughout the Buffalo area. The name, The North Ridge, was chosen because of Buffalo's notorious
reputation for relentless winter weather. Life in Buffalo has already often
been compared to Hoth, and it seemed like a logical step.
