OLEAN, N.Y. — The Greater Olean Area Chamber of Commerce (GOACC) is looking for nutty photo enthusiasts to submit photos for the official 2022 Woodland in the City Calendar.
GOACC is looking for photos of individuals and families with the City’s collection of 4 foot tall squirrels – Nutty, Cutter, Jolly Mon and the other 20+ that are around the city of Olean, and one in Allegany!
“Each year, we develop this calendar and have a great time selecting from the loads of photos that are turned in — photos of families, children, teenagers and seniors enjoying the Woodland in the City Squirrels,” stated Meme Yanetsko, chief operating officer for the GOACC.
The photos should feature one of the Woodland Squirrels – maybe a child dressed up like an elf with the Santa squirrel or dressed like a knight with the Knight in Shining Armor squirrel.
Again this year, the Chamber would love for participants to take selfies with the Woodland squirrels.
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, Monday through Friday between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., mail it to: Squirrel Photo Contest, c/o GOACC, 301 North Union, Olean, N.Y. 14760 or email 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 Monday, Nov. 1. For more information on the photo contest, please contact GOACC at (716) 372-4433.
