Whether they are connoisseurs of fine cuisine or people who just love to eat good food, hungry visitors can sample the best of Ellicottville’s fine restaurant menus from noon to 4 p.m. each day — rain or shine. Entrees, desserts, healthy choices and nonalcoholic drinks will be some of the featured choices. Barb Pump, project development manager for the Ellicottville Chamber of Commerce, said the booths will be set up “cafe-style” on both sides of Monroe Street. Both ends, from Hughey Alley to Martha Street, will be closed off. Tables and seating will be out among the tents to provide a place for families of all ages and sizes to enjoy their tastings. Each restaurant’s signature dish will be sampled by judges in front of a live audience. According to Executive Director Brian McFadden, the judging and Chopped Competition, managed by Chef Dean Metzger from the Seneca Allegany Resort & Casino, will take place at the Winery of Ellicottville Main Stage. The judging begins around noon on Saturday and awards will be presented afterward, the same day.

Rock Autism Finnerty’s Golf Classic set for Aug. 24 Music Festival returning to Ellicottville Aug. 31 By Kellen M. Quigley
The second annual Rock Autism Music Festival will be back in Ellicottville on Aug. 31, but first, a new golf tournament with the collaboration of Rock Autism and Finnerty’s Tap Room will hit the links. The inaugural Rock Autism Finnerty’s Golf Classic will kick off Aug. 24, benefitting Rock Autism’s, Inc. and the Rock Autism Music Festival. Rock Autism has partnered with one of Ellicottville’s hidden gems, Finnerty’s Taproom, who is also a sponsor of Rock Autism, for this tournament. All proceeds from the event will go to the Rock Autism Multi-Media Vocational Program
and Rock Autism Music Festival. Participants will tee off at Elkdale Country Club at 3 p.m. on Aug. 24, but a full day of supporting this great cause is in
the works. Starting at noon, register at Finnerty’s Taproom, where there will be a one-hour open bar prior to golf. Enjoy drinks, lunch and
raffles. Then, head down Route 242 to Elkdale Country Club at 2 p.m. to warm up your swing, practice your putts and visit before the tournament begins. The tournament is a four-man scramble format that will begin with a 3 p.m. shotgun start. Following nine holes of golf, head back to Ellicottville for dinner at Finnerty’s Taproom at 6 p.m. as well as the open bar for one hour. Finally, awards and prizes will be presented at 7:30 p.m. along with dessert. The cost is $100 per player. Entry fees must be returned to
