Allegany River FestCardboard Boat Regatta Joins Country Music Stars July 10

BY NICHOLAS PIRCIOWPIG 95.7 FM

It’s doubtful that Creedence Clearwater Revival had cardboard boats in mind when they sang the “rolling on the river” lyrics to Proud Mary. But then they missed out on lots of fun, like maneuvering

the homemade craft along the Allegheny River and being cheered on by fans along the riverbank. That’s what happened last year during the fi rst annual such event, part of the Allegany River Fest. This year, the Great Cardboard Boat Regatta joins country music stars Mark

Wills and Josh Gracin on Saturday, July 10 as part of the second annual Allegany River Fest at Veterans Park in Salamanca. Activities are being presented by the Salamanca Area Chamber of Commerce. According to Events Specialist Jenny Ingrao, “The chamber is very excited to bring Mark Wills and Josh Gracin to this area. It’s not every day people can meet (and hear) two well-known artists.” So how did the River Fest get started? Over at the chamber, Jane Fenton explains, “We felt we really needed to add another tourism-oriented event that focuses on one of our big assets here, the Allegheny River. We thought a country river fest made a lot of sense.” She notes that the fi rst festival went extremely well. Fenton notes, “We probably had the worst rainstorm of the year” which kept some people away. “The good news is that it was our fi rst large concert event of this nature, and everything came off perfectly.

Seneca, Chairman, Seneca Gaming Corporation, during Monday’s ceremony. “Seneca Hickory Stick Golf Course will certainly add to the world-class environment that visitors to our Four Diamond-rated Seneca Niagara Casino & Hotel resort currently enjoy and provide travelers another reason to visit Lewiston, the Greater Niagara Region and Western New York.” Located on 257 acres of land, Seneca Hickory Stick Golf Course features a magnificent layout with significant water features, five sets of tees on every hole and pristine grounds which golfers of every skill will enjoy and appreciate. Among its unique design features are strategically placed bunkers surrounded by tall heather and a double green for the 9th and 18th holes, a layout more commonly found in Europe than in North America.

“This is truly a people’s golf course,” said Bruce Charlton, president and chief design officer of RTJ2 Golf Course Architects, who was on hand for the opening. “From its public nature to its fair yet challenging layout, Seneca Hickory Stick presents what every golfer is looking for – a memorable golf experience that you will appreciate and want to enjoy more than once.” In addition to its significance for Western New York, the project is also an historic achievement for the Seneca Nation of Indians, marking the Nation’s first off-territory development project. “The influence of the Seneca Nation of Indians can be seen throughout Western New York, far beyond the borders of our current territories,” said Seneca Nation President Barry E. Snyder, Sr. “Our businesses

Corn Moon DinnerThree Friends, Five Farms and One Long Table in a Pasture

Corn Moon Dinner is a grassroots fundraiser, with two goals. The short-term goal of Corn Moon Dinner is to raise enough money to start a food system in Cattaraugus County. The basic premise of the food system is to provide fresh, locally grown produce and pasture raised meats to area food pantries. The long-term goal is to create an organization, Edible Grace. This organization would be the liaison between local farms and food pantries. Edible Grace would also educate food pantries, food pantry customers and the general public on how to create meals out of the food they receive from the farms and ranches. Sojourner Farms of Olean, NY (pictured above) will host Corn Moon Dinner on August 21, 2010 from 6pm-9pm. Culinary Institute of America graduate, Elizabeth Bares and Garrett Taylor will be preparing the fi ve - course meal with wine pairings from Leonard Oakes Winery of Niagara County. Corn Moon Dinner seating is very limited. Reservations go on sale June 21, 2010. Please call Elizabeth Bares 716-307-1494 or Megan Taylor 716-373-0253 for reservations and questions.
