Hot Dog Sales Benefit Fireworks

The City of Olean’s Annual Fourth of July Fireworks Celebration is set for Saturday, July 4, at Bradner Stadium in Olean. The fireworks are organized by the Olean Professional Firefighters Association, OPFFA.

The fireworks celebration is funded through donations. There are several ways for the community to assist. Greater Olean Area Chamber of Commerce, in conjunction with the OPFFA, will be scheduling Dress Down Days throughout the Olean area. GOACC is asking area employers to allow their staff to dress down patriotically on scheduled days and donate a dollar (or more) to the Firefighters’ Association Fireworks Fund.

The following days are designated the following days for Dress Down Days: Friday, May 22nd (Memorial Day Weekend); Friday, June 5th; and Friday, June 12th. The firefighters will also be serving up hot dogs and other refreshments on May 22 and June 12 at the Olean Area Federal Credit Union.

Volunteers Needed -- The OPFFA is looking for some volunteers for July 4. Volunteers are needed the day of the event to assist with taking donations at the door, with organizing the events in the stadium, and with seeking donations from those that choose to sit in War Veterans Park and on the dikes around the stadium.

The Fireworks committee would also like to offer an opportunity for businesses to take a vendor booth (retail, food, craft) at the event. For more information of the fireworks or vendor space, please contact firefighters Dave Bauer or Ed Jennings at the Olean Fire Department, 376-5609 or by email fireworks@oleanfireworks.org. To sign up your business or organization for Dress Down Days, please contact GOACC by phone at 372-4433 or by email tourism@oleanny.com.
