 The City of Olean’s Annual Fourth of July FIREWORKS CELEBRATION is set for Friday, July 4, at Bradner Stadium in Olean. The fireworks are organized by the Olean Professional Firefighters Association, OPFFA. The stadium gates open at 5:30 PM. Coolers and packages carried into the stadium will be checked for security reasons.
City of Olean Firefighters took over the local fireworks program in 2001. Prior to that, the Dempsey Club (City of Olean Police Department) ran the fireworks. The fireworks have been held in Bradner Stadium since the early 1960’s. The actual fireworks program, not just the ground displays, were shot inside the stadium. However, due to the rising safety issues, the fireworks are now being shot from Forness Park. The ground displays are still shot inside the stadium, but at a safe distance away from the spectators. Young Fireworks of Rochester, New York, now shoot our shows. A wide range of shells are shot in their programs. The shells range from 1” shells all the way up to 10” shells. The 10” shells are the largest shell that can be shot safely in the area.
“The 2008 Fireworks Celebration will be a fun-filled evening of great music, mouth-watering food, family entertainment and socializing culminating with a spectacular fireworks show at dusk,” reports Dave Bauer, Olean Fire Department staff and co-chair of the Fireworks. Music will be provided by area bands, KG2, Two-Hour Notice, and Birdswamp Bob and the 4 Point Bucks, who will be performing inside the stadium starting at 6 PM. The WMXO-FM Radio Station, the fireworks broadcast sponsor, will be on hand and provide music to accompany the fireworks. Those watching the fireworks inside the stadium will be eligible for prizes such as amusement park tickets and a trip to a fun location, possibly Myrtle Beach or Nashville. In case of inclement weather, the fireworks will be scheduled for the next clear night. For more information, please visit the fireworks new website, designed by Mellon Technology, www.oleanfireworks.org.

Posted by Meme on 2008/6/12 8:04:39 (80 reads)
Officials at Greater Olean Area Chamber of Commerce have announced that the 40th Annual Chamber Clambake was a great success. The clambake was held Wednesday, June 11th, at Olean’s War Veterans Park.
David Carucci, Clambake Chair, states, “The Clambake is a great kickoff to the summer with fun, food, music and prizes for our Chamber members and guests. The Clambake had another record-breaking attendance -- seven years in a row the attendance has grown. This year’s attendance was 711 Chamber members and guests. Our members realize the event catered by the Old Library Restaurant guarantees great food and a wonderful time. The event is sponsored by the forty-one corporate sponsors. We also honored Carol O’Connell as a Lifetime Member. Carol is honored as an individual who is fully retired, has served as a board of director for the Greater Olean Area Chamber of Commerce and the former Olean Business Improvement Association, and has been involved in extraordinary service to the organization.”
John Sayegh, GOACC Chief Operating Officer added, “Carol O’Connell has taken leadership positions in all the development and growth that Olean experienced in the last twenty-five years. She dedicated personal and professional time and effort in ensuring the reversal of the negative trend that the Greater Olean Area communities went through in the 1990’s. Carol was an agent of positive change and she takes credit for improving the economic climate and conditions of our communities. Carol has served in leadership positions on many boards and committees including those of the Greater Olean Area Chamber of Commerce (GOACC). Carol O’Connell’s biggest reward was the groundbreaking and establishment of Jamestown Community College – Cattaraugus County Campus – in Downtown Olean. Carol joins a handful of people who have received one of the greatest recognitions that GOACC bestows on an individual of Carol’s qualities and caliber; Life-Time Chamber Member. We’re grateful for Carol’s service and successful accomplishments which will hopefully inspire other members of this great community to follow in her footsteps.”
Chamber member, the Old Library Restaurant, catered the event. The restaurant served up Beef on Wyck, Clams Casino, Clam Chowders, Sausage Sandwiches, BBQ Chicken, Hot Dogs, and BBQ Ribletts.
