HERE COME THE JUDGES

This week two judges are in Niagara Falls sizing the city up as part of the annual Communities in Bloom competition that is held throughout the province. They’re looking to see how Niagara Falls measures up to other communities when it comes to overall tidiness of the community, environmental awareness programs and heritage conservation programs to name a few.

I’m accompanying the judges and the committee as their photographer. Boy have I had my eyes open. There are lots of beautiful floral displays to be found at loads of Niagara homes. Entering this program seems a natural fit for our city. Many of Niagara hotel's have also got into the spirit of the competition. Check out the flowers in front of the numerous hotels and restaurants, especially in the Fallsview area.

What is the best method of transportation from BUF airport to Canadian hotels at Niagara Falls (Embassy Suites in particular) for 6 adults and 5 childeren? We are debating 2 minivans vs 1 limo.

george
Mark, If it was me I'd go with a 12 passenger mini-van. Ask if they have such a piece of equipment.
