OLEAN, N.Y. — Greater Olean Area Chamber of Commerce staff have officially rescheduled two of its vendor events.
The Olean Home Show originally set for April 24-26 will now be held May 29-31 at the William O. Smith Recreation Center in Olean. The Sports, Recreation, & Fitness Expo will be moved to Sept. 26-27 and will be set at Good Times Events Center in Olean.
Meme Krahe Yanetsko, GOACC COO reported, “Our intentions were to continue as much as business as usual with any of our events at the Chamber until getting additional directives from NYS. Although the Governor (NYS) hasn’t given the date to the end of April (stay home), we feel that it will be coming.”
With the moving of the Home Show to the dates of the Sports Expo, it was necessary to move that show as well.
“We feel that the Sports Expo works in May or September/October as we can still utilize the grounds surrounding the Good Times Center with equipment demos, fly fishing classes and the retriever training competition,” added Yanetsko.
Yanetsko is hoping that the balance of the GOACC Events Calendar will be able to occur with their original set dates. The next event, however, that could be affected is GOACC’s Gus Macker Basketball Tournament.
“At this time, Gus Macker National is rescheduling their early May events, but we are watching this closely as we need to have registrations and team fees in by end of May,” stated Yanetsko.
Gus Macker Olean was moved from its normal August dates to encourage more participation with college and high school athletes with the new dates in 2020 of June 5-7.
