More than 20 sword swallowers will be “dropping swords” at Ripley’s Believe It or Not! Odditoriums worldwide on Feb. 23, in celebration of the 6th annual World Sword Swallower’s Day. In excess of 125 feet of solid steel is set to go down the hatch — hopefully without a scratch! In Niagara Falls, Vanessa Neil, one of the few female sword swallowers in the world, will perform a free show at Ripley’s Believe It or Not! Niagara Falls Odditorium, located at 4960 Clifton Hill. The show will start at 1:30 p.m. with an official “swallow” at 2:23:13 p.m. to coincide with the 2/23/13 date. (http://www.ripleys.com)
