          Niagara Falls Tourism Authority Spring Getaways

          The Falls Avenue Newsletter is now up to issue 18 (I think I missed a few issue).

                  ‘I may not have done this if somebody had told me how tough this would be to sell to the locals’

                  From the Niagara Falls Review: It was supposed to be a five-year plan to prove the doubters wrong. Five years to show that big-time theatre couldn’t just survive in Niagara Falls, but thrive. Alas, Silver Mist Productions was off the mark.
