Thank you for inviting me to join your Flat Stanley project. I live in Ontario, Canada, not far from one of the world's largest water falls, Niagara Falls. There are two sides to Niagara Falls, because they form the border between the United States and Canada. The American Falls are on one side, and the Canadian side is called Horseshoe Falls, because it is in the shape of a big horseshoe.
Even though it is Spring, it is still very cold here, and much of the water is covered in snow and ice. Because of all the ice and frozen mist created by the waterfalls, Flat Stanley couldn't get very close, and he was very cold, because he didn't have a winter coat and hat! We hope you can see the waterfalls in the background of our picture!
Our region of Ontario is called the Niagara Region, named after the Falls. Besides the waterfalls, our region is also known for agriculture, especially grapes used to make wine. There are also many orchards, where farmers grow peaches, plums, cherries, apples, and pears. While it is very cold all Winter and we have lots of snow, our Summers are still hot enough to grow theses fruits.
I hope you enjoyed learning about the Niagara Region, and Niagara Falls. I will try to take Flat Stanley to some other interesting places soon.
Sincerely,
Katie Marrone
Ridgeville, Ontario
