GOACC wants your Squirrel Selfies for their 2023 calendar
OLEAN - What is a SQUIRREL SELFIE? The definition of a selfie is a photograph that one has taken of oneself, typically one taken with a smartphone or webcam and shared via social media. Instead of sharing via social media, please share your selfie with Greater Olean Area Chamber of Commerce.
“GOACC wants you to take a selfie with one of the more than 20 four-foot squirrels throughout Olean - pictures of families, children, teenagers and seniors enjoying the Woodland in the City Squirrels,” stated Meme K. Yanetsko, GOACC COO.
Area residents and visitors are invited once again to send in their photos of the Woodland in the City Squirrels to be chosen and placed in the 2023 squirrel calendar. The Woodland in the City (Woodland) committee and the Greater Olean Area Chamber of Commerce (GOACC) are sponsoring the Photo Contest.
The calendar will feature the local community in photos with the squirrels. The photos should feature one of the Woodland Squirrels … (maybe your youngster dressed up like an elf with the Santa squirrel, or dressed up like a fair maiden with the Knight in Shining Armor squirrel). GOACC does ask that those in the photo DO NOT sit on the squirrel for the photos.
Photos can be dropped off at the Greater Olean Area Chamber of Commerce office Monday through Friday from 8:30am-4:30pm, mailed to: Squirrel Photo Contest, c/o GOACC, 301 North Union St., Olean, NY 14760, or emailed to tourism@oleanny.com. Please make sure you include your name, address and phone number. ALL ENTRIES MUST BE RECEIVED by 4:30pm on Tuesday, November 1st. For more information on the photo contest, please contact GOACC at 716-372-4433.
