First St. Catharines Meridian Centre scores a coup, announcing Sir Elton John will play the arena in November, and then the city of Niagara Falls counters with an announcement of its own.
Live with Kelly and Ryan will come to Oakes Garden Theatre in the falls on June 5th.
This is the third time the show has come to the city since 2006, although with different hosts.
A number of groups in the tourism sector including three BIA's, Hornblower Cruises and the Niagara Parks Commission are kicking in the nearly one million it costs to bring the show to town.
