I'm back!!

Hello, and welcome back. I took a break for the holidays and have been having a hard time getting back into the swing of things. This week, I will do a quick recap of what has happened in the past month.

The weather in Niagara Falls has been pretty mild for December and January, but still, there have been very few people visiting the Falls. I guess that it’s this economy.

The Rink at the Brink hasn’t been doing as well as hoped for. There have been different incentives to use it. The Stanly Cup even made a brief appearance at the Rink . It was one of the few times, other than the Playoffs, that the Cup has been outside of the Hockey Hall of Fame. You have untill Feb. 28 to check out the Rink at the Brink.

The Olympic Torch came through Niagara Falls on December 20. I was already away, so I missed it.

The Winter Festival of Lights ended for this year on January 4th.

I found a very cool video of the Falls Illumination.
