Pond Skimming is Still a “Go”
The ski season might be coming to an end but if you have to say goodbye, you might as well do it with a rebel yell as you propel down the hill one last time this year. And while you're at it, maybe you can take all that energy and see how far it will get you across the man-made icy pond at the end of Yodeler? That’s right, Holiday Valley’s Pond Skimming event scheduled to take place March 23rd from 1:00-2:30pm.
Stop, Drop & Breathe
Stress: It’s something that every creature with a nervous system experiences, and it’s a state of being that goes back to our earliest ancestors. Stress is experienced by animals, too, noted Steve Beattie, certified Wim Hof Method instructor and founder of Breathing in Nature. “If you were to take a stress test of a cheetah and an antelope, they’re both having a very strong stress response,” he noted. “But one of them wants to be there, and the other does not!”
Penguin Paddle Continues to Bring Support
Belly down! Holiday Valley and the Lounsbury Adaptive Ski Program (LASP) just celebrated the 40th annual Penguin Paddle, both a staple in Ellicottville’s snow sports mecca and a fundraiser for a great cause. The event took place on February 24th, 2024. The race itself is almost as fun to...
Celebrating a Momentous 60 Years
It’s hard to believe another ski season is in the books and even harder to believe that HoliMont Ski Resort just had its 60th Anniversary this past Saturday. (That’s right, their 60th!) And true to fashion, HoliMont marked this very special occasion with an amazing party to celebrate its rich history and over 60 years of incredible support from their members.
Celebrate St. Paddy’s Day
An annual event to turn the Chadakoin River green is always well attended. The river’s color is changed to recognize St. Patrick’s Day by the city Board of Public Utilities. Many residents and their pets dress up in their Irish finery just for the occasion. Photos by Kristin Johnson, Post Journal.
Get a Taste of the Pot O’ Gold Soup Fundraiser
The weather hasn’t been the most cooperative creature this year. Is it still winter or is it early spring? I don’t even know, I just know that it rotates between hot and cold faster than my mood can handle. So what can we do to make ourselves feel better? Well, my mom always says that nothing warms you up faster than a tasty bowl of soup, so let’s “soup it up” and help out the community at the same time!
Breakaway Adventures: This One’s for the Birds
Birds are an integral part of our lives and culture. We have a national bird in the majestic Bald Eagle, and a state bird in the pretty Bluebird. There have been many well written screenplays about birds and we have a zillion uses for their feathers - from symbolic rituals to decoration and warmth and of course don’t forget 21 were once baked in a pie! Not to mention that feathers are the number one material used in tying fly-fishing flies!
Don’t Forget the Lunar Eclipse
On March 25th, we will have a full moon. It is called the “worm moon” because this is when the ground thaws, earthworms surface, robins return and planting season commences in the northern hemisphere. In individual astrology, the moon represents our emotional needs, where the sun sign indicates...
2024 Rail Rider Jamboree

Ellicottville’s Community Garage Sale
Nestled off the back streets in the Village of Ellicottville sits the charming, but outdated Ellicottville Village Playground. Home to the classic sliver slide, tire teeter totters, and colorful playsets, I’m sure we all have a memory or two to share from our childhood stomping grounds. Now, five mothers have come together as the Ellicottville Playground Group and are inviting the community to join in on a fundraising event. The Ellicottville Playground Community Garage Sale takes place March 9-10th at the Ellicottville Town Center, 28 Parkside Drive from 8:00am-4:00pm both days.

It’s the Sweetest Time of Year

Coffee & Chocolate Festival is Coming Up
Who doesn’t love a good festival? (That was rhetorical. Everyone does.) I mean, it’s the perfect excuse to get out, enjoy yourself and indulge in a little bit of fun. What better way could there be to celebrate a nice spring day? Glad you asked, because Peek’n Peak Resort, located at 1405 Old Road, Clymer, NY, is kicking their festival game up a notch on April 27, 2024.

Long-Time Village Clerk Ready to Retire
As humans, we often take things for granted. If we have a problem with our tax bill, a broken sidewalk, garbage in the street or wish to see the head honcho in an organization, we generally present ourselves and our dilemma to the village/town clerk. We usually walk out with our problem solved, a clearer pathway towards a solution or the appointment we seek to speak to someone in charge of rectifying the situation that is our concern. Regardless of the nature of the need, it is very often one person at the counter who must have all the answers or possible solutions. Rather than going to Google for information, the people in the village of Ellicottville automatically go to Mary Klahn, our Village Clerk/Treasurer. “Mary will know the answer.” “Mary can solve this.” “Mary will get me in to see the Mayor.” “Talk to Mary, she’ll figure this out.”
A Visit From Law Enforcement
Security is always (or at least it should be) a top concern for most of us. We think about home security, business security, how to keep those pesky kids off our front lawn legally… you get the point. But have you really put some thought into the concept of Homeland Security?
What is the TRX System?
The TRX System, also known as Total Resistance Exercises, refers to a specialized form of suspension training that utilizes equipment developed by former U.S. Navy SEAL Randy Hetrick.
