West 49 Take The Cake in Niagara Falls
I don’t know where I’ve been for the last few months, but I’m just hearing about this now (even though the earliest reference I can see about this is back in May). West 49 has an event called Take the Cake that will take place at the beginning of October:
To mark 15 years as Canada’s largest retail skateboard shop, West 49 is celebrating in a big way. West 49 Take The Cake skateboard contest will take place in Niagara Falls, Ontario in October 2010.
On Saturday, October 2, 2010, West 49 Take The Cake will erupt Oakes Garden Theatre in Niagara Falls featuring 10 of the worlds most influential and recognizable pro skaters throwing down their best tricks for a $100,000.00 CASH prize. Canada’s largest Cash purse event in Canada.
Attending skaters will be Ryan Sheckler, Paul Rodriguez, Chaz Ortiz, Torey Pudwill, Sierra Fellers, Corey Duffel, Darrell Stanton, Alex Olson, Chima Ferguson, Brandon Westgate, Shuriken Shannon, Matt Miller, Paul Trep, Grant Patterson and Tom Asta. I’m not familiar with these names (it’s not really my crowd), but a quick search shows that some of these people are quite famous.
It looks like it will cost $40 to attend.
UPDATE: @NiagaraParksPR let me know that there will be general admission tickets available for $10 and a weekend pass will be $15.

Screenshots from Breakfast Television live from Niagara Falls
I couldn’t decide whether I wanted to get up early to see Breakfast Television in person, and in the end I decided not to. However, I did watch about half an hour of it on TV (from around 6:40 am to 7:10 am).
It certainly did promote Niagara Falls well. At various times you could see the Falls, Oakes Garden Theatre, parts of Falls Ave, parts of Clifton Hill, Niagara SkyWheel, Niagara Helicopters, and more. There were several prizes given out, including passes for Niagara Helicopters and Maid of the Mist. There were people from Old Fort Erie, and of course the mayor, Ted Salci was there.
It might seem kind of lame, but I took some pictures of my TV showing some of the scenes. As always, you can see the thumbnails below, and the full pictures in the 20100618 Breakfast Television in Niagara Falls gallery
