40 units and more than 579 adults and children took part in the 36th Annual Santa Claus Lane Parade held November 26th in downtown Olean, while more than 2,200 people lined both sides of the street to watch.

Staff at the Greater Olean Area Chamber of Commerce have been busy lining up activities, vendors and more for its Jingle Bell Jubilee - including the Cookie Crawl and the Run Run Rudolph 5K, both set for Friday, December 10th.

Not only do Wing Crawlers get to taste and vote on 8 different wings, they also get a chance to win $500 in Shop Olean Gift Certificates … and some Buffalo Bills merchandise!

GOACC has created a new event planned for December 3rd and 10th called the Jingle Bell Jubilee. The Jingle Bell Jubilee will feature many fun activities that will make the event twinkle with fairytale festiveness.

Fall festivities continue through November at the Tri-County Arts Council, 110 W. State St., Olean, with a full pallet of spectacular art classes for everyone. Information and sign-up can be found on the Arts Council website.

With thousands of dollars still needed for renovations, the caretakers of the 100+ year-old Tickletown in Humphrey, New York will host a series of haunted house fundraising events on the last two weekends in October to help with costs.

The Olean Sports and Social Club and the Greater Olean Area Chamber of Commerce are once again teaming up to present the next segment of a food crawl – the ‘chicken’ Wing Crawl event.
