OLEAN, N.Y. — Greater Olean Area Chamber of Commerce is asking the community for photos of families, children, teenagers and seniors enjoying the Woodland in the City Squirrels. Area residents and visitors are invited once again to send in their photos of the Woodland in the City Squirrels, to be chosen and placed in the 2020 squirrel calendar. The Woodland in the City (Woodland) committee and the Greater Olean Area Chamber of Commerce (GOACC) are sponsoring the Photo Contest.

The calendar will feature the local community in photos with the squirrels. The photos should feature one of the Woodland Squirrels — maybe your youngster dressed up like an elf and with the Santa squirrel, or maybe your son dressed up like a knight with the Knight in Shining Armor squirrel.

This year, the Chamber would love for participants to take selfies with the Woodland squirrels. According to Wikipedia, a selfie is a self-portrait photograph, typically taken with a smartphone which may be held in the hand or supported by a selfie stick.

GOACC does ask that those in the photo DO NOT sit on the squirrel for the photos. Photos can be dropped off at the Greater Olean Area Chamber of Commerce office, 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m., Monday-Friday, mailed to: Squirrel Photo Contest, c/o GOACC, 301 North Union, Olean, NY 14760, or emailed to tourism@oleanny.com. Please make sure you include your name, address and home phone number.

All entries must be received by 4:30 p.m. on Nov. 13th.

For more information on the photo contest, please contact GOACC at (716) 372-4433.
