I am so pleased to announce the participation of Niagara County Community College and the Crowne Plaza in the Niagara Homecoming Weekend in June 2009.   The NCCC Culinary Program headed by Executive Chef Mark Mistriner, Niagara County Community College and the Crowne Plaza will host the opening Kick-off Reception for the Homecoming Weekend.

Frank Croisdale and I will be meeting with Chef Mistriner next week to work on the details of the event which will include a silent auction and 50/50 split club to benefit Niagara Rises, ticket sales for the event will benefit Niagara County Community College Scholarship fund.

The Culinary Program at NCCC will showcase its new school and restaurant at the Crowne, the Restaurant will open in February 2009 and the school will open in the Fall of 2009.  Food and cocktails will abound and area restaurant owners will be encouraged to attend to meet vendors from around the Niagara and Buffalo region with samples and tastings, as well as all our local citizens and those traveling early to Niagara and Buffalo to enjoy the Weekend events.

Everyone involved in Niagara Rises should be very proud of all the hard work and dedication shown in these early stages of planning for this wonderful event.
