Locals celebrate with Niagara Falls Runs Dry Day, and with plenty of great hotels in the area, it’s not hard to come celebrate with them!

The Knights of Columbus is the largest Catholic fraternal service organization in the world. Founded by Father Michael McGivney on the principles of charity, unity, fraternity, and patriotism, the organization's primary purpose was to provide financial aid to members and their families in the event of illness or death. The Knights of Columbus has since donated billions to charity and now has more than 1.8 million members.

Capriati's family moved to Florida when she was four years old so she could pursue a tennis career, and by 1990, the 14-year-old had earned over $6 million in endorsements. She became the youngest women's tennis player to win a match at Wimbledon, to reach the semifinals in a Grand Slam event, and to rank in the top ten players. Personal problems—including an arrest—sidelined her as a teen, but she made a successful comeback in her 20s before injuries ended her career.

If You Were Born Today, March 29
You work on inspiration and instinct, and you are immovable if your heart isn't truly into something. You can be moody, fascinating, and very changeable, while always maintaining an independent and feisty spirit. Your emotions can be very up and down, and extreme at times, but you tend to right yourself quickly. You hold others enthralled. Famous people born today: Jennifer Capriati, Elle Macpherson, Lucy Lawless, Pearl Bailey, Scott Wilson, Brendan Gleeson.

OLDEST VESPA SCOOTER WAS UP FOR AUCTION
Image result for oldest vespa scooter
The Vespa scooter was designed as an affordable way to put Italians back on the road after World War II, but this one’s not cheap. The oldest-known existing Vespa WAS auctioned online yesterday at Catawiki.com for $195,748.

Image result for oldest vespa scooter

The fully-documented “Serie 0” was actually the third Vespa built, the first two having been lost to history. It’s been fully restored, with the paint carefully stripped off to highlight its early construction methods, which include a hand- hammered and soldered steel unibody. About 60 of these pre-production models were manufactured before a formal assembly line was established.

Vespa is an Italian brand of scooter manufactured by Piaggio. The name 
means “wasp” in Italian. The Vespa has evolved from a single model motor 
scooter manufactured in 1946 by Piaggio & Co. S.p.A. of Pontedera, Italy 
to a full line of scooters and one of seven companies today owned by 
Piaggio.

Drifting
Drifting is a driving technique where the driver intentionally over steers, causing loss of traction in the rear wheels or all tires, while maintaining control for the entirety of a corner. It is caused when the rear slip angle is greater than the front slip angle, to such an extent that often the front wheels are pointing in the opposite direction to the turn. As a motoring discipline, drifting competitions were first popularized in 1970s Japan. Today they are held worldwide and judged according to speed, angle, showmanship, and line taken through a corner or set of corners.
