Volunteers Sought for Winter Festival

One of the best ways to combat the winter blues is to get outdoors and do something fun! And one of the best opportunities for that is coming up President’s Day Weekend, during the Winter Festival in Mayville. By volunteering your time for just a few hours you’ll spend time with lots of other people and be a part of one of the biggest annual outdoor festivals in Chautauqua County. 
The President’s Day Weekend Winter Festival will be held February 17-19 at Lakeside Park in Mayville. Since its inception in 1987, this event has brought thousands of people to the shores of Chautauqua Lake to take advantage of the best that winter has to offer.
Construction of the ice castle is always a highlight. Volunteer help is welcome to help build and maintain the structure, weather permitting.
Other main events on tap for the festival, which will be held regardless of the weather, are a chili cook-off, sports competitions, fireworks, and a Polar Bear Swim to benefit the Mayville Food Pantry. Winter sports tournaments planned include broomball, dodge ball, a snowball distance throwing contest, and a children’s snowman/animal building contest. 
Volunteers will be needed to assist in coordinating these events, as well as to help with parking and logistics surrounding the festival. If you would like to volunteer for any of these tasks, or if you would like to help sponsor some aspect of the festival, please call the Mayville/Chautauqua Community Chamber of Commerce at 716-753-3113.
