 SANTA’S CARNIVAL

Thursday, December 8 2011

Location: Cattaraugus Community Action
25 Jefferson Street
Salamanca, New York

On Thursday, December 8, 2011, Cattaraugus Community Action will host its 5th Annual Santa’s Carnival for the children of Cattaraugus County. This year’s Carnival is sure to be as much as fun as previous years – if not more! Santa, Mrs. Claus, Frosty the Snowman, and the Grinch will be on hand for free photos.

Santa’s Carnival is a holiday event for community children held at Cattaraugus Community Action, 25 Jefferson Street, Salamanca, New York. Each of CCA’s departments creates games, crafts, and contests for our young visitors. Events this year will include face painting, balloon animals, caricature drawings, and a gingerbread house raffle for holiday fun. Every child leaves with prizes, decorations, toys, and homemade Christmas cookies and hot cocoa. This event is free and open to all community children.

Please join us at the 5th Annual Santa’s Carnival!

Annual Candle Lighting Ceremony

Sunday, December 11 2011

6:45 PM

Location: Lincoln Park
Downtown Olean, NY

Phone: 372-0307

This ceremony, to remember all children who have died, is held every year on the second Sunday in December, at 7 PM. As candles burn down in one time zone, they are lit in the next, creating a 24-hour wave of light that encircles the globe.

This local ceremony is being organized in memory of Noah Boser, who died at the age of 7 months and for all other children who have died. Parents, grandparents, families and friends who have lost a child are invited to bring a photograph (sealed in plastic) to be displayed at a memorial Christmas tree in the park. The candlelight vigil will have music, poems, hot chocolate and cookies to help warm our spirits as we remember all the children we’ll forever miss.
