Program Overview
Schedule

The tentative plan for now will be: Both Tours Will be leaving the Adam's Mark about 8:15AM. Transportation will be aboard Deluxe Coach. Coach USA busses.

Niagara Falls

Niagara Falls, This tour will be visiting Niagara Falls USA. We will not be crossing the boarder into Canada. (Taking a bus load of people across the bridge to Canada in July is not a good idea. At least if you don't want to spend your entire day talking to US and Canadian Customs) We will have about three (3) hours at the Falls. This will give you plenty of time to burn lots of film. Bring your Water proof Camera Bag as you will be taking a boat ride to the Base of the Canadian Horseshoe Falls aboard the Maid of the Mist.

After the time at the Falls you will be whisked away in your Deluxe Motor Coach to the Niagara Power generating plant to see where they turn water into electricity. Again be sure to bring lots of film.

Niagara Power Generation Station

Then off to the north to visit Fort Niagara at the mouth of the Niagara River. You will need more film here. Lunch will be provided for all on the tour.

The Niagara Falls tour will be booked by the Full Bus load. We can make reservations for a second full bus but it must be a full bus. Once the first bus is full there will be a waiting list started for a second bus if needed. Again first come first served. Reservations are made by Postmark date.

Fisher-Price

We will be visiting Fisher-Price in East Aurora, NY. The View-Master is now put out here. There will be a chance to tour the facility and the toy labs where they do product testing. Also the View-Master archives are supposed to be available. There is a wonderful museum called the Toy Town Museum which will be included; a chance to see vintage View-Master product, including cameras, as well as old historical photographs. Demonstration of reel image development using state of the art computer software. Opportunity to meet members of the View-Master team from design, engineering and marketing and ask questions. There will also be a chance to visit the company operated Toy Store.

The Village of East Aurora is very historic and if time allows there are a couple more places we will include as photo op stops. Lunch will be provided.

The Fisher-Price Tour will be limited to one (1) bus full of people. This is at the request of the Fisher-Price people as the plant will be in operation. First come first served. Reservations will be given in the order that they are postmarked.
