Falls Avenue Newsletter #12

Last Thursday I received the latest issue of the Falls Avenue Newsletter. This came about 6 weeks since the last one. I would think they should be sending this out a little more frequently. They are promoting several Fall packages, as well as New Year’s Eve packages.

Festival lights up city

From the Niagara Falls Review:

Ballet dancers portraying “icicle fairies,” creatures who supposedly live behind the mist of the Horseshoe Falls, helped transform Queen Victoria Park into a winter fantasy land for the start of the Winter Festival of Lights Saturday. The annual winter festival is officially on, even though Mother Nature hasn’t yet decreed that winter is.

Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, a children’s choir and festival mascots The Misty Kids performed to thousands of fans to launch the festival’s 25th edition, which runs until Jan. 7.

Wheel World draws all ages of car fanatics

I meant to go to this when I heard about it a couple of months ago, but I wasn’t in Niagara Falls this weekend, so I missed it.

From the Niagara Falls Review:

Playing with toy cars just leads to more expensive toys, exhibitors and fans at the Wheel World car show agree.

Six-year-old Evan Hills has about 1,000 Hot Wheels cars in his collection, sorts them by category and puts on his own car shows. His father Graham used the toys as rewards when the youngster was toilet training.

“He’s a car guy already, that’s for sure,” said Graham, who checked out the annual car show with his son Sunday at the Skylon Tower.
