Paper Sales

Huge Success

Thanks to dry weather, the determination of some dedicated volunteers and the generosity of the community, sales of the Laurel Run edition of the Observer newspapers were a huge success. We sold more than 2,000 copies of the paper, raising more than $2,300!

For the third consecutive year, the Observer published a special Laurel Run edition. Volunteers fanned out across the northern Chautauqua County region Wednesday morning, July 8, to sell the newspapers at area businesses and on local street corners.

We than Publisher John D’Agostino and his staff at the Observer for working through the night to publish the special edition. The special edition helps us spread the word about Laurel Run and raise additional funds for the event. The publicity provided by the special edition is invaluable, and we are grateful to the Observer for its support each year.

We thank the following businesses for allowing volunteers to sell newspapers at their locations:

Brooks Hospital
Burger King (Irving)
Tim Hortons (Dunkirk)
Tim Hortons (Fredonia)
Tim Hortons (Gowanda)
Tim Hortons (Irving)
Wal-Mart (Fredonia)

We thank all of the volunteers who woke up early that day to sell papers.

And of course, we thank everyone who bought a paper!
