From Niagara Falls Review:
John Daly made a whirlwind tour Tuesday of his Thundering Waters signature golf course in Niagara Falls, cutting a swath of smiles everywhere he went.
He mingled with golfers playing in the Kids R King Celebrity Pro-Am, which was raising funds for the Boys and Girls Club of Niagara.
He posed for photos with shivering Hooters girls dressed in tank tops and short shorts, signed balls and T-shirts and posed for photos with the suitably-impressed Grade 4 class from St. Vincent de Paul elementary school.
From CanadaTourism.com:
The cages have come down in the Small Aviary at Bird Kingdom at the Niagara Falls Aviary. Bird Kingdom transformed our Small Aviary into a FREE FLYING AVIARY! The Small Aviary was closed to the public for two days for the birds to adjust to their new environment. The Bird Kingdom Keepers monitored their behavior to ensure the safety of the birds. All birds adjusted very well and are now enjoying their new habitat.
Thanks to regular commentor Dan for letting us know about this!

I check your Access Niagara blog on a regular basis (and love it!). I received an email from the A Cut Above Steakhouse at the Sheraton Fallsview today about a monthly contest they are having that thought the other visitors to your site might like to know about it. Here is the link they provided: http://www.fallsview.com/ACAContest.shtml
The page has a form on it that you fill out, and if filled out correctly, you get a confirmation of your entry.
On Saturday I received a promotional Falls Avenue Newsletter. They are promoting the same thing that was mentioned in their last newsletter:
To subscribe, visit their “Spin to Win” page and fill out the form. Be sure to check that you’d “like to receive news on Niagara Falls discounts and seasonal special eMail”.
Last Thursday I received the latest Clifton Hill Resorts Update newsletter. It contains the same information it always does. But there is one new interesting thing… It appears that HOCO had a new aerial shot take of the property. I had commented previously that the digitally manipulated image they were using previously looked funny. The new one looks fantastic!
As always, you can subscribe to the Clifton Hill Resorts Update newsletter by visiting the Clifton Hill Newsletter page.
From the Niagara Falls Review:
Some of North America’s most talented outdoor painters have been in the city to see for themselves the world-famous Horseshoe and American falls.
It took artist Nicole Bestrudderham about 24 hours to get here by plane from Prince Rupert, B.C., but she wasn’t complaining.
“This is a great way to meet other artists and have people see your work,” she said Saturday while painting in Queen Victoria Park across from the American falls.
Along with the animals, there are also a fair amount of rides. Among the 16 currently in operation, there are several different kinds and sizes that should suit all ages.
The first area that we went to after the show at King Waldorf’s Stadium was the Family Rides section. They have several rides that are aimed at the kids. All of the rides in the entire park were operational other than the Orca Screamer, a kid’s dropzone-type ride. We didn’t go on all the rides, but did manage to get on several of them. Both of my sons went on the Boat Carousel ride with my wife and one of my sisters. We then waited in line for quite a while so my oldest son could go on the Lady Bug Coaster with another one of my sisters. It was a very popular ride, and my son said it was his favourite. Later on yet another sister went on the Tivoli Wheel with both sons.
As we walked around the park, various members of our group also went on the Sky Hawk, Wave Swinger, Hurricane Cove, and Kandu’s Twister. I’ not really one for rides (I only went on Kandu’s Twister), but my sisters are, and they really enjoyed them. Tow of my sisters went on Dragon Mountain a couple of times. They said it wasn’t the longest or the fastest roller coaster they’ve ever been on, but they still liked it.
Even though my son said the Lady Bug Coaster was his favourite, he seemed the happiest while he was on the Wave Swinger. He seemed so thrilled to be up in the air, flying around.
One of the newest rides is the Sky Screamer. It is a 3-sided dropzone ride. My sisters (the ones who went on the roller coaster) wanted to go on it, but we ran out of time. You could hear it all over the park as it is up on a hill, and they hydraulics that make it work can be quite loud. The next new ride will be a Topple Tower. It is under construction and should be ready for next spring.
