From Niagara This Week: Niagara Falls has earned the distinction of being second brightest among the country’s brightest stars in a national lights competition which also measures community spirit and pride. The city placed second with a score of 90.6 in the WinterLights Celebration’s winner’s circle category, a class for cities that have won the…
I know that Cirque Niagara’s Avaia is gone, but I figured I’d still share a video that you can see on the Stage 6 web site. It is about 2 minutes long, and shows scenes from the “fast track” trampoline. NOTE: You need the free DivX Web Player to see the video. February 25, 2008…
