As July comes to an end, our fourth festival weekend of 2012, “The Ellicottville Jazz & Blues Festival”, organized by our Chamber of Commerce, is beginning.

Like we mention every week, the golf in and around Ellicottville is great. The lack of rain hasn’t slowed either Holiday Valley or Elkdale Country Club even a little bit. Call either location make a Tee Time, then get out and enjoy the FUN golf offers. Before we get to The Jazz & Blues Fest, The PUB in Great Valley will again, be LIVE music free. However, any and all visitors will still be able to enjoy their wonderful, reasonably priced food and beverages plus the local friendly GOOD PUB TIMES.
