Homecoming Weekend a Success

What a weekend. Niagara Homecoming 2010 will go down in history as a great moment in time for a city on its way back up from the depths of despair. The efforts of a group of dedicated volunteers rolled out the proverbial red carpet for residents, both current and former, and offered up the type of four-day event that is usually only found in much larger, more prosperous cities. A year's worth of behind-the-scenes work played out over an 84-hour period beginning last Thursday morning. By the time the weekend ended, everyone involved was exhausted, but had also basked in the glow of countless platitudes tossed our way from attendees newly reminded of just what a blessing it is to be able to call Niagara Falls home.
