Celebrate The Fairgrounds’ 7th Festival of Lights opening on November 25, 2011. Located just 20 minutes south of Buffalo, NY in Hamburg. Experience this event with the entire family and celebrate the holidays, maybe after checking out some great deals in the Niagara region.
Take pleasure in a leaisurely drive through a nearly 2 mile spectacle of over a million dazzling animated colored lights filling a brilliant path of light displays including several brand new scenes to this year’s show.
After your ride, continue the experience and enter through the newly decorated quaint North Pole Village and behold the old timeless window displays imitating the nostalgic downtown holiday shopping atmosphere. While in the village, write a letter to Santa and mail it from our Village Post Office or hug Holiday characters. Both make for memorable photos.
In their charming barn located right outside the village, Santa presents his favorite reindeer sleigh team all ready to go! Every weekend, take pleasure in riding a carriage pulled by Santa’s team of reindeer, just like on that magical night. Warm up inside with some hot chocolate, coffee or food favorties and be amazed as well as entertained by the world’s largest Elf, Kandy Kane and his traditional Holiday Magic Show. Ride the North Pole Express or any of the other timeless and restored rides at Santa’s Magical Midway.

Black Friday is coming up, and that means it’s time to make hay for Canadian shoppers.
For some, the trip is just a swing over the border for a few hours. For others, it’s a weekend filled with shopping and tourism.
If you’re planning on spending any amount of time over the border, be sure to check in at the Duty Free before you cross. You’ll save the tax on already discounted goods, and can take advantage your personal exemption. You’re allowed to exceed your limit for a relatively small state tax.
So long as you consume the balance of the amount your exceeded your exemption by, you won’t have to pay tax when coming back to Canada.
Outlet stores do not always follow outlet mall hours, so it’s a good idea to call any stores you are particularly interested in to make sure they will be open.

Two South Africans have gone on an extended vacation around the world to take in and share their experience in an online blog. This follows the trend of staying connected with friends and family by way of the internet during long-distance journeys.
Tristan had just finished studies in Town Planning at university. Likewise, Dominique finished postsecondary studies and wanted more. Tristan said, “I feel like there’s so much more fun stuff to do rather than sitting behind a desk all day. So that’s where this trip, and subsequently this blog, come into the frame.”
To say this is a small undertaking would be a gross understatement. “I’m absolutely petrified about traveling around the world,” he said.
However, Tristan says he feels a “true sense of excitement and adventure” and that he will try his best to keep the stories (and photos) coming.
