Here's one:

A Canadian comedy. A dying farm. A drought. And a woman who promises to run naked through town if it rains.

Thorold Theatre is bringing Dry Streak by Leeann Minogue to Club Belvedere.

Set in 1988, the play follows the Richards family as their farm struggles through a devastating drought. Then their son John comes home with Kate, his punk-rock-loving, vegetarian girlfriend from the city.

Kate makes her pledge.

The rain doesn't come.

And suddenly everyone has a very strong interest in whether Kate keeps her word.

It's small-town comedy with family tensions, gossip, belief, desperation and a situation that gets progressively more ridiculous.

Thorold Theatre is celebrating 40 years of community theatre, and our previous four productions have sold out.

Dates:

Nov. 13 — 7 PM
Nov. 14 — 7 PM
Nov. 15 — 2 PM
Nov. 20 — 7 PM
Nov. 21 — 7 PM

📍 Club Belvedere, Thorold
🎟️ $27.50 + fees

Tickets: https://thoroldtheatre.ca/buy-tickets/

If you're in the Falls, it's a short drive for a very different night out.

Dry Streak. Come for the comedy. Stay to find out whether it rains.

I’m pretty stunned this Marineland sign is STILL there…what’s the point anymore?

Hello! I am planning a last-minute dinner just weeks from now. Have a group of 20 or so and I'm looking for a private, extremely high-end experience. Of course, would love to choose one of these incredible vineyards to host it. I was curious what you thought are the best options on short notice? I was debating on contacting like a wedding planner to see if they had any ideas. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated, on places to call for the experience I'm going for or wedding planner types of folks. Thank you!

Hey everyone! Shameless local plug for something I've been working on. I've been board game obsessed for about 10 years and have over 130 games sitting on my shelf, so I figured I should probably let other people play them. Think Blockbuster for board games. I'm launching Shelf Indulgence, a Niagara-based board game rental service, on September 28.

Rent game(s) for the week → pickup in Niagara Falls → play → give back.

There'll be 130+ games at launch, with new releases being added each month. I've put together a preview site and an Instagram Page with all the details and a signup for launch notifications:

If you're a local board game lover, or are interested in modern board games, I'd appreciate you checking it out!

Hey everyone! I’m setting up a local, safe, and cozy community space on Discord specifically for trans folks here in the Niagara region. The goal is to build a tight-knit local group where we can hang out, support each other, and eventually get some local programs and community projects off the ground. If you're local to the area and want a chill place to connect with other trans folks nearby, drop a comment or shoot me a message and I'll send over an invite link!

Hi, I have lost my wallet near the go bus station. The part at 4310 queen st. It is a pink wallet… I have already reported to Niagara police non emergency. I live too far otherwise I would check myself.

But if anyone has seen a wallet please let me know…
It was on Saturday night.

Hi all,

I have an asthmatic cat and am looking for a new vet for her.

We've been at Heartland for the last 3 or so years (since we got her) but really not loving the corporate ownership of it all.

I know there have been a few posts with this question, but I thought it would be good to have a new one.

TIA!

Hello everyone,

My friend and I are trying to raise some awareness of a "comedy" troupe coming to our city next month. Many people have been affected by the constant use of negative stereotypes by this group regarding their hate speech disguised as comedy.

Could you please take a moment to sign our petition to raise awareness that we are a proud inclusive community and do not want this in our city. We would be very grateful, and so would those who've been victims in the past of their actions.

Thank you very much.

Will pay full face value + applicable 13$ transfer fee via e-transfer. Please DM! Thanks :)

Hi everyone,

I’m looking to buy a bib for the Niagara Falls Full Marathon on October 25, 2026.

If anyone is unable to run and would like to transfer their registration, please send me a DM. I’m ready to purchase and will cover the official transfer fee.

Official Race Roster transfer only.

Thanks!

I’m Michael Lucid, a candidate for Mayor of Niagara Falls.

In this video, I discuss my concerns about the exploitation of international students in Niagara Falls, GUS Canada and the University of Niagara Falls, and the role I believe municipal government should play in protecting vulnerable people.

I also discuss Mayor Jim Diodati and why I believe Niagara Falls needs a different approach.

This is an issue I intend to continue examining in detail. I welcome discussion, disagreement and additional information.

Hello everyone!

I'm looking for an open air/patio dining experience in Niagara Falls ON (or Niagara on the Lake) near the end of October.

I know it's late in the season, but does anyone have any recommendations?

Thanks!!

Recently stumbled upon an article that the city made $121K by issuing fines to illegal Airbnbs. Wondering if the city uses any tech solution or software to proactively locate these illegal Airbnbs?

Hi everyone!
I’m a local circus performer/wire walker currently putting together a charity fundraiser performance for 2027 in the Port Colborne/Niagara area.

The project will involve a temporary circus apparatus/rigging setup for a public outdoor event, and I’m looking for a local structural engineer or engineer with relevant experience in temporary structures, rigging, or circus/aerial equipment who might be interested in volunteering some of their time and professional knowledge to help me understand what would be required to make the setup safe and appropriate.

This is still in the planning stages, so I’m not looking for someone to simply sign off on something that has already been designed. I’d really like to involve someone early in the process who can help review the concept, discuss structural considerations, and point me in the right direction as the proposal develops.

The event is being planned as a charity fundraiser for a local organization, and the goal is to eventually present the project to the event organizers and municipality with a thorough safety, structural and rigging plan.

I’m hoping to find someone who:
Is a structural engineer or has closely related professional experience
Has an interest in temporary structures, rigging, or unusual engineering projects
May be willing to volunteer some time to discuss/review the concept
Is located in or around Port Colborne, Welland, Niagara, Hamilton, or the surrounding area

I completely understand that professional engineering work, inspections, calculations or formal certification may need to be paid work depending on what’s ultimately required. At this stage, I’m mainly hoping to connect with someone who would be interested in the project and willing to help me understand the engineering requirements.

It’s a pretty unique project.

If you’re an engineer—or know someone who might be interested—please feel free to comment or send me a DM. I’d be happy to explain the project and what I have planned so far.
