Jump in lake being replaced Saturday

CASSADAGA – Due to the cold temperatures, in conjunction with the Chautauqua County Water Rescue Team, the Citizens for a Better Cassadaga has announced there will not be a jump in the lake on Saturday during the Winter Festival. Instead attendees will gather on the lake to make snow angels. All are welcome.

The fun at the beach will still take place from noon to 2 p.m. with free hot chili, hot coffee from Tim Hortons and making s’mores over a fire.
