We had many records this year in our quest for the 4th of July! Our first hotdog sale netted over $1700! Our second hotdog sale netted over $2200! Thank you to everybody that came out. Thank you to all our local businesses. Without you we would have never been able to pull off these two hotdog sales.
We also had two other records this year. Both came on the 4th of July. First we had over 5,000 people packed into Bradner Stadium. The second record isn’t something to be so proud of. We collected the least amount of donations at the door….EVER!!!!! Normally $10,000 – $12,000 is collected at the gate, this year we will be lucky to break $4,000!!!!!
We need your help. Email us suggestions on how to raise money and keep the Fireworks going. Next year we will be looking for groups of people to canvas parts of Olean for donations. We have several high profile areas. People say that there are tons of people in these areas, but nobody ever comes to collect donations. If you are interested in collecting donations next year, please email us with your name and phone number and we will be in contact with you. We are looking for businesses to “host” donation cans. A few local businesses have made inquiries about hosting a can. Please email us with your business name, contact person and phone number. Each business that hosts a can will receive special recognition in the newspaper and radio next year.
