Panama Rocks OFFERS FESTIVALS, GLAMPING AND NATURAL GEMS

L

ocals searching fresh produce have plenty of options to Panama Rocks, located in Southern Chautauqua County, has been a popular destination for locals and tourists since 1885. When asked why people visit, owner Jonathan Weston said, “Panama Rocks is an amazing wonder of nature.

The rocks are hidden in a lush forest and form seemingly endless passageways for guests to explore. Don’t just take my word for it,” Weston added. “We encourage potential guests to Google our reviews on TripAdvisor and Google.” Panama Rocks has been the No. 1 reviewer ranked attraction in Chautauqua County since 2011 on TripAdvisor and was rated the No. 1 reviewed

trail in New York State by the trip planning service Inspirock.

In addition to being an amazing natural attraction, Panama Rocks offers glamping, camping, ax throwing, recreation hall rentals for events, and is host to two festivals.

HAVE YOU TRIED

“Every one of our guests who stayed with us last year said they enjoyed their stay and we are looking forward to another great summer this year,” said Weston.

36 West Main St., Fredonia www.Angrysquirrel.net 716-680-8065

Panama Rocks began offering glamping accommodations last year. They provide fully furnished, luxury tents with beds, linens, furniture and a mini-fridge for guests who want to camp in comfort. Each glamping campsite also includes a picnic table and firepit, and the park restrooms and bathhouse have been newly refurbished for guests.

Panama Rocks is now offering traditional “bring your own tent” camping sites for guests in 2024 as well. The Wild America Nature Festival will take place on July 27 and 28 and features a fine nature art & craft show, falconry and animal demonstrations, local food, music, and more. The Panama Rocks Foliage Festival will be on Oct. 5 and 6. Highlights include traditional crafts, music, food, and Fall and Halloween themed activities.

When asked about his hopes for this coming year, Weston said that he hopes to see lots of happy guests. “Panama Rocks is such a special place. We are often told by parents and grandparents that they love Panama Rocks because it is a place where they can explore together with their kids - and that the kids say it’s one of their favorite places to visit! We also hear from many people that they love the peace and tranquility of the park.

Many find that the rocks have a powerful, even spiritual presence. We are grateful to be able to keep Panama Rocks open to the public and help people have fun and create wonderful memories while spending time in nature” added Weston.

Guests can learn more about Panama Rocks, make reservations, and see pictures and videos of the park on their website, www.

PanamaRocks.com, and social media accounts on Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok. n

Plenty of Laughs

PLANNED AT NATIONAL COMEDY CENTER

By THE POST-JOURNAL STAFF, editorial@post-journal.com

S

ummer is a time when many tourists travel to Chautauqua County to enjoy its offerings.

One of those offerings is the National Comedy Center in Jamestown.

In June, NCC will present Tom Segura: Come Together at Northwest Arena. Actor/Comedian/Writer Tom Segura is one of the biggest names in the comedy business. He recently toured the world with over 300 shows on his I’m Coming Everywhere and is getting ready to bring his highly-anticipated new hour of comedy to over 40 cities with the first leg of the COME TOGETHER tour kicking of Dec. 30 in Honolulu, HI.

Segura is best known for his Netflix specials Ball Hog (2020), Disgraceful (2018), Mostly Stories (2016), and Completely Normal (2014). His fifth Netflix special Sledgehammer released July 4, 2023 and debuted at No. 1 on the streaming service. In July 2022, Segura released his New York Times Bestselling book “I’d Like to Play Alone, Please” to wide praise with Forbes calling it âlaugh out loud funny.ã Paste Magazine described him as, “...having a natural and capable storytelling ability, one that lifts his narratives out of average anecdote fare and plants them firmly in hilarious ground.”

Your Mom’s House Studios is home to his hit podcasts Your Mo’s House which he co-hosts with his wife, comedian Christina Pazsitzky, 2 Bears 1 Cave which he co-hosts with Bert Kreischer, and many more podcasts that draw millions of listeners each week. Additionally, YMH Studios was one of the first networks to create wildly successful Livestream Podcast Events as an outcome of the pandemic.

Segura can be seen in the STX Film Countdown opposite Elizabeth Lail, “Instant Family” opposite Mark Wahlberg and Rose Byrne, “Opening Act”, and “Flinch.” Segura’s television credits include: The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Conan, Workaholics, Happy Endings, The Late Late Show, Comedy Central Presents: Tom Segura, Mash Up, How To Be A Grown Up. Segura has an increasing social media following (@seguratom on IG, @tomsegura on Twitter). When he isn’t performing on stage or recording a podcast he’s watching college football or waiting for college football to come back. Please be advised that this show contains adult content. 7:30 pm., Northwest Arena, 311 W. Third St., Jamestown, NY. In August NCC, 203 W. Second St., holds the Lucille Ball Comedy Festival.

Glass Growers Gallery IS CELEBRATING 50 YEARS

G

lass Growers Gallery (GGG), located in downtown Erie, Pa., is proudly celebrating 50 years in business. The gallery and gift shop represents over 90 regional artists and features another 100 artisans from across the country, creating a diverse and ever-changing selection of unique artwork and artisan goods. GGG offers paintings, photographs, pottery, glass, mosaics, jewelry, sculpture, and more. This milestone signifies a five decade legacy of cultural enrichment and artistic contributions to the Erie community.

In 1974, Glass Growers Gallery (GGG) opened its doors at 2nd and Plum to showcase the work of John and Deborah Vahanian.

They took flat sheets of glass and made 3D objects: geodesic domes and quartz crystal shapes that became part of kinetic sculpture, terrariums, light fixtures, and windows. The name “Glass Growers” has its roots in that process. Over time, the founders stopped “growing glass” themselves and expanded the gallery’s representation of regional fine art and professional American crafts in their bright, welcoming, plant-filled space.

In 1982, GGG relocated to a renovated church building at 701 Holland St. In the spacious 2 ½ story building, Deb Vahanian took the lead and began curating annual shows: Quilt, Watercolor, Kaleidoscope as well as other unique shows like the History of the Bicycle, the Carousel, Joseph Plavcan Student

Retrospective, International Images, Women in Transition, and Judy Chicago’s “The Birth Project” to name a few. GGG thrived while providing artistic encounters for the community and encouraging people to find their creative selves.

In 1999, the Erie Art Museum planned to expand. GGG chose to be its neighbor by moving to its current location in the heart of downtown Erie, 10 E. 5th St. In September of 2020, Deborah Vahanian retired and GGG was purchased by its current owner, Emily Ernes. Two staff members, Noreen Finn and Susan Martin, stayed on and helped ensure a seamless transition with their combined 30 years of experience. The team continues to focus their attention on celebrating art and imagination and creating an inspiring space for the community. Prioritizing art experiences, GGG features rotating art exhibits in the main gallery every 6-8 weeks, hosts a variety of artist workshops, participates in seasonal gallery nights through the Erie Art Museum, and hosts boutique nights and other events with its shopping district neighbors.

GGG believes there is a special inherent quality found in original artwork and handcrafted artisan goods. These pieces are imbued with a sense of purpose and meaning from the careful attention provided during the artistic creation process, making them acquisitions to be treasured for years to come. GGG’s art and gift offerings and event calendars can be found online at https://www.glassgrowersgallery.com. Nationwide shipping is available (free on jewelry-only orders) and the staff is readily available for personalized shopping consultations at staff@ glassgrowersgallery.com or 814-453-3758.

If you haven’t visited downtown Erie recently, you’re in for a treat. The blocks surrounding GGG have been experiencing a renaissance. Only a short walk from the beautiful bayfront and filled with historical buildings and architecture, downtown Erie provides a special, multi-faceted experience for visitors to shop, dine, learn, and play. The team at Glass Growers Gallery hopes you will stop by and find joy and inspiration from our rich history, unique art offerings, and enthusiasm for the vibrant Erie community and its bright future.n

Wild Wind FOLK ART & CRAFT FEST SET T

FOR EARLY SEPTEMBER

he 44th Annual Wild Wind Folk Art & Craft Festival — Celebrating Artistic Excellence and Family Fun — takes place on Saturday, Sept. 7 and Sunday, Sept.

8 at the Warren County Fairgrounds, 371 Barton Run Road, Pittsfield, Pa. Held rain or shine, hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., each day. Every year the weekend after Labor Day, the Wild Wind Folk Art & Craft Festival opens its gates to a crowd of art enthusiasts, crafters, family, and friends. There is always excitement in the air — the sounds of kettle corn popping and artists greeting new and longtime customers, the sights of vibrant-colored mums and crisp fall apples, and the smells of homemade pie and apple strudel.

Children tug on their parents’ hands, steering them to the petting zoo, families marvel at the magician’s humor and tricks, and friends enjoy good conversation and a tasty meal while their feet tap to live music. In amongst all this festivity, true artistic talent and creativity abound. The celebration of handcrafted artistry is the foundation of this event, and keeping tradition with its award-winning reputation, the festival brings together an array of artistic talents to present a show that is unsurpassed. In addition to spotlighting the tradition of handcrafted art, Wild Wind is proud to honor the value of time spent with family and friends.

Children can delight in the ever-popular traveling petting zoo, face painting, balloon artistry, and more. Another favorite is the Tamarack Wildlife Center, with its birds of prey exhibit and lectures. Of special note, Alexander the Magician is back to delight the crowd with a new twist on his unique blend of humor and enchantment. The festival also welcomes chainsaw carvers, Brian Fox, from Fox Sawmill & Custom Design, and Lisa Barr, from Barrnone Carvings & Creations. Their talents in crafting birds, bears, turtles, and more will be on full display, and visitors are encouraged to watch the action! With equal excitement, other demonstrations, from wool spinning to glass blowing, take place throughout the festival offering everyone the opportunity to enjoy the day. New this year, Mandy Moon will share her hula hooping talents through demonstration and instruction.

Both adults and children should come prepared to participate in this fun and engaging activity! Hoops will also be available for purchase so newly learned skills can be further developed and shared. When it comes time to take a break from the show’s sights, a shaded picnic area is a wonderful retreat, while a creative assortment of delectable foods await hearty appetites.

French artichokes, BBQ pork, gyros, crab cakes, sausage subs, hand-cut french fries, homemade pie, ice cream, root beer and more! Live music is on deck to add to the ambiance, with Old Dawg Bluegrass on Saturday and Warren’s own, Temple Grey, adding to the toe-tapping on Sunday.

The Wild Wind Folk Art & Craft Festival welcomes you to make a treasured memory by joining them for the weekend to embrace the wonder of award-winning craftsmanship and family fun. The admission fees are $10 for adults, $7 for seniors, and free for children 12 and under. As a bonus, those who attend on Saturday can return on Sunday free of charge.

Amish Trail

PROVIDES SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE

BY SARA HOLTHOUSE, sholthouse@post-journal.com

C

attaraugus County’s Amish Trail is made up of a variety of different Amish shops, existing throughout the Northwest part of the county.

While the Amish Trail is not an actual trail itself, it is made up of nearly 200 shops, according to Tourism Specialist Samantha Hayes. Maps and brochures can be sent via email for free and can be found at amishtrail.com.

“Reasons to visit can be different depending on each person’s needs,” Hayes said. “People can come to leisurely shop and get things like homemade Amish donuts and gifts. People can visit different businesses if they need something like a garage built or kitchen cabinets. There’s something for everyone who wants to visit the Amish and find homemade high-quality items.”

Hayes added that there are probably some newer shops as well that are a part of the trail, and that there are also some that Visiting reasons can differ depending on the person, Hayes are more hands-on. Items to be found in shops can range from things such as custom oak furniture to chocolate to toys. She said. said at the shops, the Amish people who own and run them will interact with visitors and help make the visit more fun.

28th Annual

JUNETEENTH CELEBRATION Chautauqua County

The Amish Trail is open throughout the summer, spring and fall seasons but Hayes said summer is usually the best time to visit because of there being more items available and more shops open.

Cultural Events, Children’s Activities, Crafts, Live Entertainment, Sunday Church Service, Live Gospel Music Group, Food, Vendors, Informational Booths (Health, Education & Labor), & More!

“A lot of the shops are only open when they have items to offer,” Hayes said. “Some shops have vegetables that they only have during a specific season. So, you can come and follow the signs and pick up your produce, while also supporting the shops.”

June 15th & 16th, 2024 Noon - 8:00 PM Saturday Noon - 6:00 PM Sunday

Memorial Park, Lake Shore Drive, Dunkirk, New York Everyone is invited to attend this family and community oriented event!

Call 716-363-1102 for more information Sponsored by Juneteenth Committee

The unofficial opening of the summer season for the trail was the Amish Relief Auction on May 25. This is an annual event that brings a lot of Amish people to one place to sell their handmade items. All the money collected goes towards helping children and families in the community. This event is always the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend. More information on the Amish Relief Auction can be found on the Amish Trail website.

The Leon Historical Society offers custom design tours for everyone who visits the Amish Trail. Hayes said that to set up a tour a person would have to contact the society, and more information on that can be found on the Amish Trail website.

One of the most important things Hayes asks the public to remember when visiting the Amish Trail is to be aware of the culture and their surroundings.

“Do not take photos of the Amish, as it is against their culture to take photos,” Hayes said. “Be sure to take your time when traveling on the trail. Horses and buggies will be around so be aware of your surroundings and the traffic. There can also be children walking to and from school, so just take your time driving and be aware of your surroundings.” n

Segura can be seen in the STX FILM COUNTDOWN opposite Elizabeth Lail, INSTANT FAMILY opposite Mark Wahlberg and Rose Byrne, OPENING ACT, and FLINCH. Segura’s television credits include: The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Conan, Workaholics, Happy Endings, The Late Late Show, Comedy Central Presents: Tom Segura, Mash Up, How To Be A Grown Up.
