Yesterday there was a great article about Niagara Homecoming in the Buffalo News Niagara Section, featuring Colleen Kulikowski. Niagara Homecoming was an idea started over a year ago and tonight at the Crowne Plaza in Niagara Falls it will Kickoff with a Reception. Tickets are still available at the door $25 and proceeds to towards the NCCC Culinary School Scholarship Fund.
The article is a nice overview of the goal for the weekend, to change the way people think about Niagara Falls. So if you have not had an opportunity to come to the Falls in awhile, think about supporting one of the many events listed below!
Colleen Kulikowski, a real estate agent who helped connect Niagara Rises to Buffalo Homecoming, said the group tried to make sure its events would “dovetail” rather than compete with a weekend lineup of activities planned in Buffalo.
Kulikowski, a Niagara County native, was among the region’s expatriates before she moved back to Western New York after living outside New York City and then in Florida for 21 years.
Since she returned, Kulikowski has been an active booster for both Niagara Falls and Buffalo Homecoming. When she and Croisdale approached Niagara Rises members last fall with the idea of bringing the homecoming to Niagara Falls, she said, it “absolutely energized” the group.
The idea came on the heels of a “Good Morning America” segment on Niagara Falls in which the national morning television show contrasted the boarded up buildings on Main Street with the bustle of Niagara Falls, Ont.
