OLEAN, N.Y. — June 4 will be the first of three StrOleans planned for 2021.
Applications are now available for retail, food and event vendors. They can be found online at www.oleanny.com, at the Chamber office or by calling 716-372-4433.
Greater Olean Area Chamber of Commerce held its first ever StrOlean August 2017. This new event was defined as an event to be held in downtown Olean; event goers were able to saunter, amble, wander, walk North Union Street and enjoy food, music, fine arts, classic cars and fun for all ages.
Businesses and organizations from across Cattaraugus County are invited to take part. Although the name states StrOlean, the Chamber’s market area includes Allegany, Hinsdale, Portville and Westons Mills in addition to the obvious Olean.
Those that have a brick/mortar stores are encouraged to participate in the POPUP MARKETplace where they will host an event inside/outside their store as well as have sales/info. For those vending outside their own store, there is no charge; however, they are asked to fill out an application for inclusion in promotion.
For those that are considered real pop ups — vendors that display and sell their artisan items, catalog/home party, farm market stands, artwork, jewelry and more as well as food trucks — they will be a POP UP Market — a temporary “store” in the location they choose/request.
Businesses, non-profits and school groups are also invited to host other activities during StrOlean, such as a 5K run/walk, demonstrations, games, entertainment or competitions.
A safe number of attendees and social distancing will be maintained at each StrOlean site.
GOACC encourages people planning retail, food or activities to provide information to the office as soon as possible for proper promotion and planning, as well as no duplication of events. For more information or registration forms, call GOACC at 716-372-4433 or email events@oleanny.com.
