Stuff for Spouses to Do

Hi there all my frat brothers: Here's some more silly stuff from the bush in Northwestern Ontario ... where it's still a chilly 7C ... and still raining ...

Because my wife has been able to schedule some free time and will be accompanying me to the reunion, I’ve spent some time checking out “stuff that’s happening” in the Niagara area during the few days before, during and after our reunion.

She’s planning to attend the reunion at the Badminton Club but she didn’t grow up in the Niagara area, or go to high school there, so a bunch of old fogies recalling ancient stuff dealing with ancient history could be a bit “yawn-yawn” after a few hours and a few beers.

If your spouse is not too eager to come along with you, maybe if you show her some of the following stuff she will feel more positive. Here are some of the events I’ve been able to locate so far …

a) Casino Niagara:

September 24 & 25: Reba McIntyre; $90+; Thursday @ 8:30 pm; Friday @ 9:00 pm
September 26: Davy Jones of The Monkees; $ 20; show @ 9:00 pm
September 27 to 30: Country Classics – country hits from the 1950’s to today’s chart
toppers; $15; 3:00 pm

b) Niagara Wine Festival: September 18-27;
Details are available at: www.niagarawinefestival.com

c) Free Concerts and Fireworks .. in the Park: September 25 and 27; concert @ 8:00;
fireworks @ 10:00; Can’t beat the price!


I’m sure there will many spouses who didn’t grow up in the peninsula and would love to have a list of stuff to do … How about some of you guys who live in and around The Falls adding to the list … I’m sure there are farmers’ markets, flea markets, antique shops, art exhibits, musical presentations, and so forth.

Looking forward to meeting old friends …
