Fall is here and there’s no shortage of festivals and fun things to do around here. Here’s a list of the events to come so you can start planning!

An adventure into Autumn’s stunning beauty of fall foliage’s brilliant colors of ruby red, bright orange, and golden yellow await the traveler who ventures into the Allegheny National Forest and the Kinzua Bridge State Park.

When you think of Autumn, chances are you start to think of a visit to Pumpkinville, warm days with cool nights, and colorful festivals! The Enchanted Mountains are just a short drive from Buffalo, Niagara Falls, Erie, Pittsburgh, and Binghamton, and all roads lead to Autumn elation.  

This fall, the return of in-person festivals and events has been welcome news to all. The Cattaraugus County Dept. of Economic Development, Planning & Tourism is pleased to announce that the W.I.L.M.A. Woolly Bear Weekend is among those events!

For over 30 years, October has been recognized as National Domestic Violence Awareness Month. In Cattaraugus County, one company in particular aims for and aspires to be a consistent anchor for survivors of past or present DV experiences.

When it comes to losing weight, you will find this task is so much more than just adjusting your exercise and diet.  The constant streaming of what is beautiful and healthy and acceptable has made the task of getting healthy very confusing.

Hello beautiful new friends. My name is Suzy Woo. I just moved my practice and crystals shop from Orchard Park to incredible Ellicottville.  It is my honor to be sharing my star wisdom with you all.

As Ellicottville readies itself to host its largest festival of the year, the Special Events Committee, law enforcement and local officials would like to let you know what they have been working on.

On Wednesday, September 22, 2021, the Rotary Club of Ellicottville presented a check in the amount of $25,000 to members of the Ellicottville Skatepark Committee (SK8EVL).  

When Ann Marie Sitter Tompkins and other volunteers originally decided to run a coat drive to provide warm winter clothes to children in need in 2020, they thought it would be a one-time effort.

The Ellicottville Town Planning Board has approved a minor subdivision with conditions for three lots near Somerville Valley Rd., and set a public hearing on a special use permit for a bar at a private indoor golf club on Route 219.

Downtown Olean will gain a splash of color October 1st as local organizations host a chalk art contest, encouraging all to beautify sidewalks and pavement with messages and images of hope, resilience, suicide awareness and prevention.

Fall festivities begin in October at the Tri-County Arts Council with a full pallet of creative art classes for everyone. Information and sign-up can be found on the Arts Council website.

Over 300 Afghans will resettle in the Buffalo and Western New York area. They are refugees by definition, but not in the eyes of the government. Because of the urgency of their evacuation, those coming are labeled “humanitarian parolees.”

458 wins, 160 losses and 34 ties. Those numbers may not mean much alone but when put together, they encompass 34 years of history for former Ellicottville Central School girls soccer coach Mary Neilon.

This week marks the beginning of fall, an arrival that has locals and visitors alike anticipating the beautiful changing landscape of Cattaraugus County. However, there is more than just Fall Festival weekend to anticipate.

What is spirituality? By definition it is: the quality of being concerned with the human spirit or soul as opposed to material or physical things. Simple right? Then why do so many people seem to have preconceived notions about the topic?

Just like mass transit, skyscrapers, and a vibrant nightlife, fresh bagels are synonymous with big city living and one of the foods Cattaraugus County native Falen Whipple recognized was missing from the Southern Tier food scene.

As we get closer to the season of giving, it’s nice to know where one can find unique gifts and beat the madness of the big box stores. Fortunately here in Cattaraugus County, we have quite a few artisans, craftspeople and creative stores at which we can shop with ease.

I have two of the greatest jobs in the entire world! I am a mom of two boys and a nurse practitioner. Growing up my mother and aunt were both in the medical field which inspired myself and my sisters to also pursue this direction.
