Village Tree Lighting Sponsorships
ELLICOTTVILLE, NY - Several years ago the Ellicottville Chamber of Commerce took on the responsibility of providing and installing the beautiful tree lighting you see downtown on Washington and Monroe Streets. This year, at an additional cost, the Chamber added more lights, and the result is an even more magnificent presentation, right out of a Hallmark movie. (And by the way, for our new visitors, parts of the Hallmark movie, Christmas in Vermont, were filmed right here in the village of Ellicottville.)
“We once again enlisted the expertise of Doug Sittler’s Night Lights Company to install another 90, thirty-foot strands of LED lights, and his technician, Erick Dudek did an amazing job of installing them,” said Brian McFadden, executive director of the Ellicottville Chamber. “I know many of you mentioned you saw him out there in all kinds of weather until late at night. Thank you to those of you who stopped to thank Erick.”
The cost of this year’s lights was covered by a generous donation from Bill Schaab of American DND Inc. of Grand Island and the Chamber. “We also thank our DPW crew and Village for providing power to each of the trees,” said McFadden.
To add even more ambiance to Ellicottville’s shopping district, the Chamber also updated the Village sound system this past fall, providing everyone with the wonderful seasonal music you hear while shopping.
“Ellicottville is amazing,” McFadden concluded, and as we say, ‘Doesn’t This Place Feel GREAT!’”
