Festival of Lights sets opening ceremonies
We had originally planned on going again this year (we went last year), but after reading about it, decided it would be the same as last year so we didn’t bother going.
From the Buffalo News:
Mickey and Minnie Mouse mascots will flip the switch Saturday evening to mark the official start of the 29th annual CAA Winter Festival of Lights at the Ontario Power Generation Opening Ceremonies at 5:45 in Queen Victoria Park.
In addition to the debut of the lights, a one-hour stage show will feature performances by up-and-coming Canadian singers Brooklyn Roebuck and Stephanie McIlroy, the cast of the “Oh Canada Eh?” dinner show, the Wendy Leard School of Dance, the Festival Choir and champion magician Greg Frewin. The first holiday fireworks show will follow. A second show, complete with fireworks, will start at 7. Both shows are free.

David Whysall International Fireworks
David Whysall International Fireworks is a company that does the fireworks in Niagara Falls. I’m not sure whether they are the only one, or even if they still do it. I just know that they’ve done “thousands of shows at Niagara Falls”.
The web site has some nice (but small) pictures of shows they’ve put on all over the world, including Niagara Falls.

Pictures from Winter Festival of Lights (2010/2011) Opening Ceremonies
Last Saturday I went to the opening of ceremonies for the CAA Winter Festival of Lights. It is the first time I’ve ever been. I spoke to my wife about it earlier in the week, and we thought our kids would enjoy seeing Mickey and Minnie Mouse, as well as Greg Frewin, so we made the trek down. The ceremony was about an hour long. It doesn’t sound that long, but for the kids, it was an eternity. They enjoyed some of the songs and dancers, but they certainly didn’t understand why there were people standing at the podium every few minutes speaking for a minute. Ultimately they really enjoyed themselves. My sons were thrilled by the fireworks, but my daughter didn’t look at them at all as she couldn’t stop looking at the Disney Princess display 
Anyway, I took some pictures while I was there. As always, you can see some of the thumbnails below. You can see the rest of the images, along with all of the full size images, in the Winter Festival of Lights in Winter 2010/2011 gallery.
Note: As of the time of this posting, there are 3,262 images in 255 categories in the Niagara Falls Image Gallery.

preciousblogger: Niagara Falls
Someone with a Blogger blog posted about a recent trip to Niagara Falls (including pictures):
So we made the 7 hour drive with no fighting, no screaming, and a number of belly laughs. I’m not sure I’ve ever made that drive without some sort of fighting before. Maybe not fighting, but aggravation or annoyance. Yet, somehow, Chase and I did it with seeming ease. Most of the thanks can be laid at his doorstep. He spent the drive taking goofy pictures and making me laugh.
Read the rest of that posting for more details of the trip. They stayed on the US side and came across to visit the Canadian side.
