Niagara News: May 2013

	History was made on April 27th 2013 when Chris Bohrenkamp and Beau Value of Idaho drove two jetboats from Youngstown New York to the base of Niagara Falls. The class six rapids had always been considered impossible to be ran against all the way to the falls. Youngstown NY native Mike Fox was testing the boats to determine if it is possible to offer trips to the public all the way to the Falls. If Mr. Fox's business becomes a reality this would be one of the most exciting adventures available anywhere on earth. Here is a link to some awesome video.

	One of the worlds most famous attractions the Maid of the Mist boat ride will see a new operator in 2014 on the Canadian side of the Falls. The Ontario Ministry of Tourism put the contract out to bid over a year ago and six different companies submitted proposals. Hornblower Canada was the selected company to take over the Canadian operations. There will be no interruption of services. We're greatly anticipating the new operator and wish them all the best.

	During the Fall of 2012 the Niagara Falls Canada Tourism group hired Toronto based Skymotion to take some of the most impressive video we've ever seen of Niagara Falls.
