Fireworks in Olean July 4
OLEAN -- The City of Olean’s Annual Fourth of July FIREWORKS CELEBRATION is set for Monday, July 4, at Bradner Stadium in Olean. The Olean Professional Firefighters Association, OPFFA, organizes the fireworks. The stadium gates open at 4:00 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, was 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, NY, shoot the shows. A wide range of shells is shot in their programs. The shells range from 1” shells all the way up to 10” shells.
“The 2011 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,” reported Captain Ed Jennings, Olean Fire Department staff and co-chair of the Fireworks. Again this year there will be a Bounce House and Inflatable Slide inside the stadium. Music will be performing inside the stadium by area bands: 20 area musicians with the history of rock ‘n roll in 60 songs.
In case of inclement weather, the fireworks will be scheduled for the next clear night. Please remember the fireworks are funded all through your donations. The OPFFA is looking for a non-profit organization for the July 4 event to assist with seeking donations from those that choose to sit in War Veterans Park and on the dikes around the stadium. For more information of the fireworks, please contact firefighters Dave Bauer or Ed Jennings at the Olean Fire Department, 376-5609 or by email fireworks@oleanfireworks.org.
