Orchard Park, NY (WBEN) Bills fans can remember Pancho Billa at a special tailagate the day before the Bills' home opener.
The event will take place at Hammer's Lot on September 21st, the day before the Bills home opener. "We've reached out to a couple other groups to help us put this together," says Eric Matwijow. "It's kind of a hard because it's a tailgate and a memorial, but it is a celebration of his life." Pancho Billa was Ezra Castro, a Texas native who passionately cheered for the Bills. He died in May after a battle with cancer at age 39.
As home opener approaches Red Pinto tailgate & our family invite you all to come to Hammer's lot to celebrate Ezra Pancho Billa's life Saturday Sept 21st. Kids & I are beyond excited to see all our #BillsMafia family. I especially want to give you all my gratitude & appreciation. pic.twitter.com/0MAz3UvuUW
