DOWNTOWN FESTIVALS COST $160,000 IN PUBLIC MONEY

    From the Niagara Falls Review:

    Elvis has left the building, but city hall is still sending out cheques to cover his show. And April Wine’s. And daredevil Dean Sullivan’s.

    More than $160,000 in public money -between city and provincial contributions -was used to help the events run by Celebrate Old Downtown, the special events wing of the downtown business association. The amount is likely to increase as festival organizers file receipts with the city in coming weeks, officials say.
