The OBSERVER will print a special Laurel Run edition Wednesday. Volunteers will sell the papers from 6 to 10 a.m. at area Tim Hortons locations, as well as downtown Fredonia and in the Hotellings’ hometown of Silver Creek. Nestle Purina also requested a supply of papers to sell to employees at their Dunkirk plant. The 30th annual Laurel Run/Walk takes place July 17 and 18. Proceeds from the event and the newspaper sale will be directed to The Resource Center Laurel Run Fund and Dr. John Vona “Smile” Fund at the Chautauqua Region Community Foundation and will support initiatives that benefit people with intellectual and developmental disabilities through The Resource Center and Filling the Gap, Inc.
