Niagara Homecoming

For 2009, Niagara Rises will be going with Buffalo Homecoming to present a "Niagara Homecoming". The event will be held June 25-28, 2009.
Why would we want to do this?
We want to show everyone whose left that Niagara County is a great place to live. We want to remind everyone that we are working toward a renaissance. This has been a long time in coming.
Let's keep our friends and family here instead of watching them move away. Can an event like this matter? YES if we all put our best foot forward.
Planned events will include a Job Fair (to show there are actually jobs out there!), a brunch at the Aquarium and tours of the city.
Interested in attending? Check out http://www.buffalohomecoming.com/ We hope to have the Niagara Falls Portion loaded soon.
Interested in helping? Come to a Niagara Rises Meeting (Every Third Tuesday of the month), or email us at niagararises@yahoo.com
We are searching for ways to help the city and county. Can you help? Do you have a great idea? Are you willing to donate your time? Contact US!

The Maize

We took the kids to the maize on Niagara Falls Blvd yesterday. Silly us started with the third maze and it took almost an hour. There was another family there that we wound up wandering around lost with. Regardless, we finally found our way out. It sure was a test of patience. IF you go wear old shoes (and old clothes), it was really muddy this weekend. Price wasn't so bad, $12.00 included all three mazes, a soda (just because I live in Western NY does not mean I will call it a POP), popcorn and three tickets for the rides. Bethany was free. They allowed us to use the tickets for the kids to go on the rides (Rhys just loves that giant tiger slide).
We go every year and every year I yell at my husband for dragging me there (we seem to always get lost), but it all turns out okay and we have a good time
