GOACC Cookie Crawl
Cookie Crawl and Rudolph Run Set for 12/10
OLEAN – Staff at the Greater Olean Area Chamber of Commerce have been busy lining up activities, vendors and more for its Jingle Bell Jubilee, Dec. 3rd and 10th. Two of those activities include the Cookie Crawl and the Run Run Rudolph 5K - both are set for Friday, December 10th. Erica Dreher, Member Services Manager stated, “The cocoa and cookie crawl is a family-friendly community event where you pay a small ticket fee, receive an (empty) cookie box, and then go to local businesses along North Union Street and fill the box with cookies.”
Angee’s Restaurant, Village Green, Union Tea Café, and Green Acres with La Dolce Vita are four stops along the crawl. Attendees will redeem their voucher at each place as they crawl along Union Street under the holiday lights. They may start or end wherever, but an additional stop will be at the Jingle Bell Jubilee under the pavilion where pop-up vendor, Crystal’s Confections, will be waiting for you. Redeem your voucher for a sugar cookie, small container of frosting and a knife to decorate at the jubilee or at home. The fee to crawl is $10/individual or family of four for $30. To register, please go online to shop.oleanny.com or stop in at the Chamber to sign up. Cookie packs are available for pick up at the Chamber office.
Dreher added, “The Run Run Rudolph 5K is a GO! Participants will leave Four Mile Brewing Co., winding their way through the streets of Olean to the roundabout at Main Street, and will run under the holiday lights on North Union Street to Lincoln Park.”
The fee to register for the run is $15 through December 6th and will go up to $20 from Dec. 7th through race day. The fee includes a Blitzen Bag of Bling – holiday light headband, Santa gaiter, arm light band, and holiday bulbs necklace as well as a finisher’s medal. Participants are encouraged to show their holiday flair with awards of Shop Olean Gift Certificates being given to the Most Merry individual and group - $50 and $100, respectively.
