Holiday Lights of Niagara among three projects planned in region.
The first steps will involve an expansion of the Holiday Lights of Niagara Trail beyond the boundaries of Hyde Park,Larger kitchens may require one or more ceiling fixtures positioned in the center of the room. Additional perimeter fluorescent bulbs squares or rectangles of lights placed near the walls should be installed for added illumination. These can be in the form of recessed downlight or track lighting. On the other hand, small kitchens may require only either two or three ceiling mounted fixtures or downlight placed near the walls. an effort led by the United Way of Greater Niagara.
At a City Hall press conference Wednesday, Carol Houwaart-Diez, United Way director, announced that the light show based at Hyde Park since 2004 will be expanded in an effort to drive holiday tourists to more city areas, including downtown.
“We are taking things up a notch this year,” she said, noting that plans call for a continued annual enhancement of the Holiday Lights Trail in the coming years.
The trail, a fundraiser for the United Way which has raised about $60,000 for local services, is also being supported by the city of Niagara Falls and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, Local 237. While most recently the trail centered on a road through Hyde Park dotted with large lighting displays, this year’s trail will also target key locations for the light displays.Health issues are one of the main reasons that people led spotlight use saunas. If you have been thinking about purchasing one to improve your health issues, you might have made a good decision. The debate over which type, infrared sauna vs traditional saunas should be used, is dependent on what ailment you are trying to relieve.
“This year we’re looking to expand the Holiday Lights Trail to make this a truly citywide experience,” Dyster said.
The enhanced trail will contain sixty displays, an increase from 40 last year, Houwaart-Diez said.
Jerry Wolfgang, who leads the Lewiston Peach Festival efforts and recently helped to create a parade through downtown Niagara Falls to celebrate the 125th anniversary of Niagara Falls State Park, will be assisting with the plans to enhance the light show in the city.Most conventional downlights use a standard 65-watt incandescent compact fluorescent lights and are run on a switch that typically contains several downlights. For this example we'll say there are a total of six lights on a switch.
“We’re going to try to recapture some of the glamor, scope and scale of the original Festival of Lights,” he said.
Businesses and residents are being asked to join the fun in a “Light Up Niagara” decorating competition being held by the Niagara Beautification Commission.The Led strip light will concentrate its light downwards into the room and has the capability to shine as broadly as a floodlight or as narrowly as a spot light, the choice is really yours.
The contest is being co-chaired by Mary Jo Zacher for the NBC and Melissa Morinello, marketing director of the Niagara Tourism and Convention Corp. The winning business from five city business districts will receive a free quarter-page ad in the Niagara Gazette.
The NBC is engaging business organizations throughout the county in an effort to get them to hold similar lighting contests. Thus far, the Town of Niagara and the Lower Niagara River Region have signed on. The group is hoping all residents will decorate, nominate and even volunteer to help judge the competitions throughout the region, but especially in Niagara Falls.
Judging will take place between 6 and 9 p.m. Dec. 10 and 15.
Zacher is also helping to organize the city’s annual Holly Trolley through the city, where two trolleys carry singing school children and city officials and others to each of the five districts in the city where lighting ceremonies will be held.
The trolleys will leave City Hall at 4:30 on Dec. 3 to make their rounds through the city.
In all, the three events are heading towards a colorful holiday season unmatched since A Festival of Lights hit the off switch. Organizers are expecting the events to mesh into a growing celebration of lights and sound which will someday match the energy of the former holiday festival.
Residents hoping to compete can take a tip from Marge Gillies, the director of the Niagara Beautification Commission, who said that while contestants are expected to give a theme to their creations, the impact does not always come from an excess of lights.To begin with, they will make an impact in the decor of the room. Plus, this lighting is fantastic, lending more natural led lights which is always welcomed in any home. She recalled last year’s winner who hand-made cartoon characters from plywood.
