CASSADAGA — Cassadaga will be hosting its annual Labor Day Festival on Sunday Sept. 1 and Monday Sept. 2.
The action begins on Sunday with the Farmers Market at Ames Common 12:30 to 3:30 p.m. Lots of fresh fruits and vegetables, fresh eggs and other local items will be there. Next is the boat parade. Mardi Gras is the theme, so deck your boat (any kind) out and meet at the DEC launch at 4 p.m. There will be prizes! The parade will travel to Cassadaga Beach to the floating stage. The best viewing for the boat parade is at Cassadaga Beach on Park Ave. Then a free concert with “Dos,” a two-man rock and roll extravaganza will be playing all your favorite classic rock and oldies. They will be playing from 5-7 p.m. and Stanfield’s Hotdogs and Lemonade Stand will be there, too. Bring a blanket or chair or come by boat whether you are part of the parade or not.
On Monday, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. there will be a craft and vendor show at Ames Common. Kev’s Kitchen with his famous Cajun food will be there. At 11 a.m. a grand parade will march down Maple Avenue.
At noon, the cultural phenomenon — the Ducky Derby, will take place at the bridge on Maple Avenue and Mill Street, sponsored by the Cassadaga Lakes Association. Buy your tickets for this at Shurfine, at the craft and vendor show or call the Ducky Derby hotline at 410-0673. Prizes include a first prize of $200 along with other donated gifts and certificates from local businesses. This is CLA’s largest fundraiser of the year.
The CLA is a nonprofit organization that works to protect and enhance the three connected Cassadaga Lakes. Yearly projects include weed harvesting, water quality testing and education programs to help keep the waters safe and clean. Those wishing for more information on the CLA can visit their website at: http://www.cassadagalakesassociation.com or on Facebook.
For more information on the Ducky Derby, contact Julie VanValkenburg, chairwoman at 410-0673 or email her at juliemarievanvalkenburg@gmail.com.
The fun is not over yet! At 1:30, starting at the beach on Park Avenue is the walk/run/bike dice roll! Registration is at 1 p.m. Cost is $5 for adults and $3 for children under 16. This event is a 5K around the lake. You choose how you want to travel (walk, run or bicycle). Participants stop at stations around the lake, roll the dice and tally their scores. Cash prizes for high and low scores and more!
To close out the summer, there will be Flares on the Lakes at 8 p.m. This is a sight to behold and can be witnessed from all around the lake. If anyone wants to purchase flares, please call 673-6649.
The Cassadaga Labor Day Festival is sponsored by the Citizens for a Better Cassadaga, Cassadaga Lakes Association and the Village of Cassadaga. For more information, please call 665-8855.

Residents and visitors from California to Alabama lined Pennsylvania Avenue for the 71st annual 4th of July Parade.
As always, the parade featured quite a bit of everything.
Marching units, floats, fancy cars, fire trucks.
Skaters, dancers, twirlers, cheerleaders.
Temperatures in the 90s, heavy rain, thunder in the distance.
Some spectators and participants had their umbrellas out from before the units started rolling and marching from Carver Street. More got them out later as a brief, but heavy, shower cooled things off.
Some folks left during the rain. Others sought shelter from the sun.
But, the overwhelming majority of people stayed from the John Gertsch Memorial Post 77 Color Guard through close to 100 units until the very end.
Following events planned on Saturday and then Tuesday, July 3, the parade preceded an afternoon to evening of events at Betts Park (organized by the Fourth of July Organization), including bands, food vendors, an annual Cutest Baby Contest, games, and ending with fireworks at 10 p.m.
