Two Civil War Soldiers – re-enactors from the Summit “Echoes Through Time” Display, conduct a live-firing of Civil War weapons. Live firings were held every two hours during the Boat Show, and will return soon to the Summit. The loud report of the guns, and the efficiency of the demonstration, bring rounds of applause from the Mall guests who witness the live firings.

“Taste and See”, the Spirit of Niagara Winery Tour, was showcased at an in-house event at the Welcome Center on January 15. In concert with Niagara Landing Winery, the first annual “Antiques & Wines old and new” was held in the Spirit of Niagara Welcome Center. Attended by nearly 60 guests, and featuring Antique Appraisers led by Sandra Ziemer and George Armbruster, the event was a successful and fun-filled showcase. This event was hosted by, and in support of, Niagara Cerebral Palsy. Nearly $400 was raised to support their local efforts. A big thank you to the Summit Mall Staff who helped make this a tremendous success!
