"It's a slam dunk weekend of fun that supports two organizations - Olean High School Sports Boosters and the Olean City School District Foundation," said John Irving, Olean Gus Macker Co-Chair. "It's definitely something we encourage people of all skill levels to participate in," he said. "The teams are set up to play against teams with like expertise."

The two groups anticipate having over 300 teams and 10,000 spectators from a 100-mile radius to attend the 3-day event and see this as a great opportunity to showcase Olean.
The tournament will take place on Delaware Avenue and North Barry Streets in Olean, NY.

They're thrilled to bring this historic and prestigious event under their purview! Event details remain the same: 12' x 12' spaces under the main art tent will be $45 and outside 10' x 10' spots for $30 (your own tent is required). Art in the Park, a juried fine arts show with a long standing tradition of showcasing the finest art in southwestern New York and northwestern Pennsylvania, features area and regional artists.
WPIG-FM Radio Station and Shurfine will sponsor the Buffalo Bills tailgate area where the Bills football game will be broadcast, as well as, sign-ups for the Shurfine BBQ basket, loaded with goodies for the winner to have their own tailgate party. Olean’s Theater Workshop will be lining up Taste of Talent entertainment showcasing local talent.
John Sayegh, Chief Operating Officer for GOACC stated, “The Taste of Olean is a festival for the entire family - food, music, activities, art, and fun. We encourage anyone who is interested in participating to give our office a call.” For more information on the Taste of Olean or for Taste restaurant applications, call Greater Olean Area Chamber of Commerce at 716-372-4433 or email taste@oleanny.com.

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.
