Bike Raffle Winners Selected
Mayville, NY -- Under a beautiful summer sky, Chautauqua County Executive Gregory J. Edwards was joined by Chautauqua County Clerk Sandy Sopak to pick the names of the winners of a trio of bicycles raffled off at the 2009 Chautauqua County Fair.
The Chautauqua County Youth Bureau sponsored the raffle as part of the County's theme for the fair; "Growing Our Future Together…Chautauqua County and You".
Edwards was pleased with the three bikes and the helmets that went along with them.
"Encouraging our children to ride safely for the exercise and life long benefits is something that I am happy to support," Edwards said. "Riding a bike is also a great way for kids to get exercise and grow, which was the theme of our county tent this year."
From approximately 1,000 entries, Edwards and Sopak selected the three winners; Tristan, Charlotte and Terrance. The winners will be contacted over the next several days.
The bikes were provided by three great Chautauqua County businesses; Hollyloft Ski & Bike, located at 600 Fairmount Avenue in Jamestown, Spoke Folk, located at 5th Street and Central Avenue in Dunkirk and Fredonia Bicycle Company, located at 21 Water Street # B in Fredonia.
Established in 1978, Hollyloft is a highly specialized and unique shopping experience in Western New York. They offer only the best in equipment, clothing, and accessories for winter and summer weather.
Hollyloft's website can be found at www.hollyloft.com.
“Spoke Folk” is the vision of Richard Goodman of Dunkirk. Goodman and about 50 volunteers work away in the basement of a church on the corner of 5th Street and Central Avenue in Dunkirk, repairing old bikes for re-use.
The organization accepts donations of bikes and bike parts as well as monetary donations to support the purchase of parts.
For more information about bikes, riding, safety lessons or volunteers, go to the Spoke Folk Web site at www.spokefolk.net.
Fredonia Bicycle Company, located in downtown Fredonia, was welcomed into the community nearly a year ago. Owner Brian Bigelow offers riders in that region an opportunity to purchase several brands of bicycles and accessories.
Edwards will be working with the owners of Spoke Folk, Hollyloft and Fredonia Bicycle Company to present the bikes to the winners. A presentation of the prizes will be held in the near future.
