While this isn’t exactly Niagara Falls news, it is certainly Niagara Region news, and many people who come to Niagara Falls also end up visiting the wineries in the area.
From Niagara This Week:
The cold comes to mind when winter and icewine are brought up, but come January, Niagara-on-the-Lake will warm up with Canada’s largest icewine festival.
The Niagara Icewine Festival is returning to town for 10 days of winter festival fun, featuring the best icewine vintages area wineries have to offer. Beginning Jan. 13, the wineries, along with Niagara-on-the-Lake’s Old Town heritage district, will host a series of events that feature the best in wine, entertainment and culinary delights.
In years past we’ve always gotten snow in November or December, but it doesn’t last, and we’re always worrying that we won’t have a white Christmas. This year seems colder than normal, and we’ve had snow and so far it has stayed.
If you like the pictures, there plenty more in the Scenic Niagara Falls Winter 2000 gallery.
The smiling painted snowmen on the front of the Criminal Hall of Fame look a little out of place 
One of my sons has learned a song called I’m So Glad When Daddy Comes Home. The song ends with the child singing what they will give Daddy when he comes home…
Pat his cheeks, and give him what? A great big kiss!
I don’t think this is what the song is referring to 
If you go in the Hershey Store on Falls Avenue, you can have your picture taken here. Note the tiny funambulist Kiss in the top right corner…

Embrace the true meaning of the holiday season for only $34.95 with A Christmas Survival Guide.
That’s the opening line to a comedic look at what can only be described as the most stressful time of the year as many people curse and scramble in crammed shopping malls searching for a gift for that special someone.
Running at the Oh Canada Eh? Dinner Show until Dec. 28, A Christmas Survival Guide will tickle funny bones with a production that pokes fun at the holiday season.
From Niagara This Week:
As far as Wendell Wilks is concerned, Niagara is distinct from Toronto and Hamilton and deserving of its own television station.
And to deny the region its own voice is to deny it its constitutionally-guaranteed freedom of expression, he adds…
“TVN Niagara will not apply further,” he said. “But Wendell Wilks, who is the president and CEO of TV Niagara, has every intention of coming out with the son of TVN.”

Harry Oakes - Benefactor
I believe this is the original Sir Harry Oakes. He is the grandfather of the current operators of the HOCO (Harry Oakes COmpany) properties. He donated land for a huge sports park in Niagara Falls. A quick Google search brings up all sorts of interesting information.
Of course there are a lot of other deserving people being recognized that night as well. Read the Niagara This Week article for the entire list.
I just received the December 2005 issue of the Clifton Hill Resorts Update newsletter. Although repetitive, they seem to be the only place around that regularly sends out a newsletter. The colours are good, the trivia is nice, but it would be great if they could include more history, trivia, or general information about the area. I understand that they have to promote their attractions and accomodations, but if people are only visiting once a year, then they need to have other content to keep people interested.
This latest issue contains:
