Elvis festival to rock Falls
From the Niagara Falls Review:
Here comes the King.
Shortly after fans mark the 33rd anniversary of his death this August, the first annual Niagara Falls Elvis Festival will leave ‘em all shook up at Oakes Garden Theatre.
The four-day bash runs Aug. 19 to 22 and will feature about 25 top-tier Elvis tribute artists. Unlike similar festivals in Collingwood and Windsor, it will be non-competitive.
“All we’re here to do is enjoy the music of Elvis Aaron Presley,” said festival general manager William Maurice, who has performed as Elvis for 40 years.

From the Niagara Falls Review:
When planners for a competition of 2,000 cheerleaders asked Niagara Convention Civic Centre president Kerry Painter if her staff could have 20,000 orders of french fries at the ready, there’s only one answer she could give.
“Absolutely. I sure can,” Painter said, laughing about some of the unforeseen requirements the convention centre is going to have to meet when it opens its doors a little more than a year from now.
“I guess you burn a lot of energy cheerleading,” said Painter, originally from Windsor, but who was managing a convention centre in Slidell, La., when she was hired two years ago to head up the Niagara Falls centre.
The cheerleading convention is booked for May 2011, making it one of the first events to be held at the $105-million facility. Convention centre sales staff have filled April and most of May with events.
