2013 July 4th Parade
We once again provided coverage of the 4th of July Parade. This year, unlike last year (2012) we were able to cover the entire parade (2012 had the parade rained out 40 minutes into the production.). Also new in 2013, we provided Live coverage during the parade to most of Chautauqua County. Live coverage aired on Access Channel 5, Fredonia Access 5 and Jamestown Channel 19. We broadcasted the entire parade (1 hour 28 minutes) from the Mayville Library. We look forward to the 2014 Parade! For more information on the 2013 parade, Click Here.

A "pre-show" program was filmed before the parade and aired as part of the replayed coverage. It was entitled "Behind the Scenes of the 2013 Chautauqua County 4th of July Parade with John "Doc" Hamels". A 'Post-show" program that was made by Jeff Zook, entitled "Fun & Fireworks @ Lakeside Park" was aired following the parade during replayed coverage. Both videos may also be found at the 2013 parade link above.

First, on October 12 we filmed Ed Carutis (D) and Dave Himelein (R), both contenders for the new District 18 in the Chaut. Co. Legislature. The following week, October 19 we filed the County Executive debate between Ron Johnson (D) and Vince Horrigan (R). Both were a huge success.
