Just like clockwork, I started to sneeze this week as my annual allergies kicked in with the appearance of the ragweed.
This also jives with the appearance of many festivals and events.
In the nearby Village of Wainfleet the 21st annual Marshville Heritage Festival begins on September 5 and continues until the 7th.The whole family will enjoy the covered wagon rides and wood carving lessons. I like the shingle-making, timber framing, carving and soap making demonstrations. Hundreds of artisans sell unique one-of-a-kind items just in time for Christmas.
In the historic downtown of Niagara Falls there’s an “Invasion of Vipers” that’s the cars, taking place on Saturday, September 19th. Lots of cars and bands crowd historic Queen Street from dusk to dawn.
I live not far from the area and I can tell you this place is now alive with lots of unique restaurants and cafes, and plenty of stores which feature the works of top artists.
Time your visit on a Friday evening and see the spectacular fireworks display over the falls at 10 pm.

Hey George, tell us something about that historic village called Chippawa
George
Pete, I'll put it on my list of things to blog about. Just a few brief facts. Chippawa Post Office officially opened in 1801. The village was destroyed during the War of 1812 when the British and Americans fought for control of the Welland River. locals call it ,`the Chippawa Creek`.More to follow.
