All things Niagara Falls tourism…
I’m not sure how long it has been closed, or why, but the Niagara SkyWheel is closed at the moment.
It may have something to do with the weather. We had a small ice storm on the weekend (I’ll post on that tomorrow) and it seems like everything has a thin layer of ice on it. It’s warmed up a bit though, so I would expect that it would reopen soon.
From the Niagara Falls Review:
“So Ray,” said the managing editor during the daily morning meeting between Review reporters and editors Tuesday.
“Are you hungry?”
With those five ominous words, I was assigned to cover the media preview of the popular Bug-a-licious Insect Food Festival.
The Niagara Parks Butterfly Conservatory will host the second-year event Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Not only was I to cover the advance event, I was also asked to dip my tastebuds into a bowl of ant soup, scorpion pizza and Brazil nut and beetle bon-bons.
From the Niagara Falls Review:
Ant soup. Scorpion pizza. Beetle chocolate.
Not exactly the dishes prepared by Rachael Ray on her weekly Food Network program.
But they will be on the menu for the Bug-a-licious Food Festival this weekend at the Niagara Parks Butterfly Conservatory.
For the second year, chef Jeff Stewart, professor at Niagara College Culinary Institute, will provide guests with a variety of insects prepared right before their eyes.
