Not-so-springlike conditions greet Spring Fest in Niagara Falls
Despite cloudy, cool and damp conditions on Saturday, the organizer of
Spring Fest
in Niagara Falls says the event will be back next year.
'I am happy (but) it could have been better,' said Fonthill-based
Vendors Market Canada
owner Uzo Kanu who organized the event at Fireman's Park. 'I have spoken to the vendors and some of the guests who've come through who have been also happy about it so the weather can't deter this (from moving) forward in the future for sure.'
Kanu said he was hoping at least 600 people would visit the event featuring 45 vendors (most were set up inside the hall at the park) by the time it wrapped up at 5 p.m.
As of noon, he said about 150 people had come by.
One of the vendors, Neomi Valmonte, co-owner of
Potato Queen
, was selling flavoured French fries at an outdoor tent.
'It's not so busy,' said Valmonte who had come to the park from Brampton.
Valmonte noted her crew were dressed for the conditions, adding the cloudy skies didn't dampen their enthusiasm for the event. 'We still like it.'
