Note: I was in Niagara Falls on Saturday and had meant to be there (I’ve been there the last two years), but just didn’t make it. From the Welland Tribune: A large crowd of people gathered around Ripley’s Believe It Or Not! museum Saturday afternoon to watch — many with their hands covering their mouths,…
From the Niagara Falls Review: A Toronto sword swallower will be in Niagara later this month to celebrate the fifth annual World Sword Swallower’s Day. Vanessa Neil will offer a free show outside Ripley’s Believe It Or Not museum on on Feb. 26 at precisely 2:26 p.m. That’s the same time 21 other sword swallowers…
I received the following via email, but also found it on the web: Oh Baby! Ripley’s Believe It or Not!

As you read on Saturday, I went to Ripley’s Believe It or Not! Museum to see the sword swallower. This was the second year that they did it, and I thought Vanessa Neil was better than Riley Schillaci, last year’s performer. I can’t really explain what I didn’t like about Riley, but she just didn’t…
From the Niagara Falls Review: Think your line of work got hurt in the recession? Try sword swallowing. “The last few years have been tough, economically. People aren’t going to pay $1,000 to have a sword swallower at their kids’ birthdays,” said Vanessa Neil, who shocked a Niagara Falls crowd Saturday when she downed a…

World Sword Swallowers Day will see performers send steel down the hatch at more than a dozen Ripley’s Believe It or Not museums throughout the world, including Clifton Hill. Toronto’s Vanessa Neil does the deed at 2:27…
