From the Buffalo News:
A global contest by a Swiss-based foundation to name the New 7 Wonders of Nature has tourism officials on the U. S. side of the border hustling to find out just what’s involved in the competition.
Niagara Falls –not the tallest waterfall in the world, but among the widest and most visited — is one of 261 nominees in a competition sponsored by the nonprofit New7Wonders Foundation to classify seven new natural wonders.
Niagara Falls is currently ranked No. 2 in online votes in the “lakes, rivers, waterfalls” category of the contest, but unless it gets a U. S. sponsor, the natural attraction cannot progress as one of 77 semi-finalists in July.
