Podcast: Boom Days Fever Begins!
On the first day God created the land. On the second day He created the lakes and rivers and waterfalls. By the fifth day He lowered the Boom to harness all the water’s energy and hold back the ice. The sixth day God lifted the Boom, and on the seventh day He used all the ice for a party called Boom Days, which we celebrate from Lake to shining Lake (Erie to Ontario).
Three days of parties, celebrations, ceremonies, history, drama, poetry, music, and Boom Bach Beer! It all starts April 13th and runs from that Friday to Sunday April 15th—truly FUN for the whole family of neighbors stretching down the Niagara River and beyond.
Start planning this mid-April weekend now at www.boomdays.com.
With a bit of fog this dewy Saturday morning, hints of spring in the air, we’re joined (in the new BRO studios in the Cobblestone District) by Boom Days’ Co-Founders Rick Smith and Clint Brown, for the following BRO Wireside Chat:

The NFTA Santa Ride
Well it is Christmas time in the city and the NFTA helped put people and especially children into the mood in a very festive and fun way. One of my favorite memories of childhood was taking the train downtown with my grandfather. I would gaze out the windows and watch the tunnel speed by. It always felt like we were going a million miles an hour.
Then there was the ability to stand up and walk around during the ride without the need to be strapped down. It was always a fun time … - Dec 17th 2008, 4:34pm
