Niagara Trip Highlights--Day 1

Twenty-nine Extension retirees and friends met the bus on Oct. 2nd at various locations for the six day trip to Niagara Falls. After lunch at Cracker Barrel in Plainfield, IN, the first stop was Warm Glow Candle Store in Centerville, IN.





This is an 11,000 square foot shopping experience filled with more candles than one can imagine. It has the largest candle in the world outside the store! The inside was beautifully decorated for Christmas, but it was still Fall outside.




         
And--with all those candles of every size and scent one can imagine, Joe Harrison and our bus driver, Bill, found something more interesting to look at!





                                     
Our evening meal featured an Irish Theme at the Sunny Street Cafe in Dublin, OH. We enjoyed Irish music while we ate.

Then a group of excellent young Irish Dancers entertained us. You will note that they have different dresses on. Each one has earned the right to wear a certain type of garment depending on their dance achievements.

It was a good start to a great trip. More details to come soon.
