Live entertainment, great giveaways and one of the most dazzling fireworks displays around are just three reasons why the Olean Area Fireworks show has been drawing crowds for over 40 years. Mellon & Co. is pleased to be a sponsor of this long-standing tradition in Olean and was happy to donate the new oleanfireworks.org website to keep the show going all year round.

Oleanfireworks.org is a comprehensive source for information about the Olean Fireworks program. The Web site details the history of the program, provides a schedule of events for the 2008 show and showcases photos from previous shows and fundraising events. It also provides information on how to support the Fireworks show. A combined effort of the City of Olean Firefighter’s Local 1796 and the WMXO/WOEN Radio Station, the fireworks are supported completely by community donations.

To raise the approximately $20,000 that is needed to put on the show, the Fire Department accepts donations year round and will soon be accepting donations electronically on oleanfireworks.org. The Web site also provides up-to-date information on local hot dog sales that support the show, a long-standing tradition of the fireworks program.

The Olean Fire Department encourages the community to come out and show its support at the next hot dog sale from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., Friday, June 13, at the Olean Area Federal Credit Union. Visit www.oleanfireworks.org to learn more.
