Jamestown (CSi) A news release from JDA President Lynn Lambrecht says:
“There has been some confusion on the Buffalo Days event and Crazy Daze. The Jamestown Downtown Association decided several years ago to discontinue hosting a Crazy Daze event on 1st Avenue, not justifying closing off 4 blocks of a state highway and main thoroughfare in order for 3 or 4 retail businesses to have Crazy Daze sales.
Gun and Reel Sports and Gifts from the Heart have continued to host a Crazy Daze sale on 1st Street West in front of their stores. They have been responsible for the Closure of the Street (a $75 fee to the city) and for advertising their own event ($100’s of dollars).
This year, Gifts from the Heart invited other home-based and craft businesses to join in at a nominal cost of $25 a table. ALL OF THIS FEE GOES TOWARD THEIR ADVERTISING THESE BUSINESSES ARE PURCHASING, THERE IS NO MONEY GOING TO A PRIVATE BUSINESS!!
ALL BUSINESSES DOWNTOWN WHO WOULD LIKE TO HOLD A SIDWALK SALE IN FRONT OF THEIR BUSINESS ON FRIDAY, JULY 26TH AS PART OF BUFFALO DAYS ARE ENCOURAGED TO DO SO AND THE JAMESTOWN DOWNTOWN ASSOCIATION, WILL HELP PROMOTE.”
