This isn’t directly related to Niagara Falls, but it’s for a good cause, and is being held in Niagara Falls. I got the following email yesterday:

I saw your Access Niagara site today, and was wondering if it would be possible for you to mention an upcoming charity event that’s happening in Niagara Falls on Friday Feb 23.  It’s called “Death to the Highest Bidder” and is being put on by students at Niagara College in support of the Head Injury Association of For Erie.  They have a website setup for the event at http://deathtothehighestbidder.com/

If you’re in the area, it looks like it is a murder mystery dinner theatre sort of thing. On the web site it is officially called a Dinner Show and Auction, and as I said, it’s for a good cause.

From Niagara This Week:

f it seems like there are more Yankee and Mets hats among the lot of headgear protecting wearers from the recent frigid sub-zero conditions in the city, it’s all thanks to a push local tourism officials made last year to get more New Yorkers to visit Niagara Falls.

Anna Pierce, executive director of Niagara Falls Tourism, was part of a contingent from the city which went to a tourism summit in the Big Apple before Christmas.

While there, the group set up shop at Bryant Park in Manhattan promoting Niagara Falls while New Yorkers skated by, with hopes of attracting residents of the Big Apple to Queen Victoria Park for New Year’s Eve.

“The whole point was to give out information about the Winter Festival of Lights and winter packages,” said Pierce. “We were trying to get New Yorkers out of New York City and coming to Niagara Falls to play.”
