BUFFALO, N.Y. - April 17, 2015 - PRLog -- Ellicottville, NY – (April 16, 2015) - With the end of the school year only a few months away, there are more reasons for planning a trip to Ellicottville than ever before, thanks to an unbeatable combination of outdoor adventure and festivals and events within this historic village. “When you consider all of the experiences we have to offer, it’s pretty much a no brainer why so many people come for a visit and don’t want to leave,” observes Brian McFadden, executive director of the Ellicottville Chamber of Commerce. “Whether you’re a trail blazer, a golf enthusiast or you’re drawn to our amazing outdoor adventure park, you can always look forward to an incredible après experience, with more shops, restaurants, boutiques and spas than ever before.”

In fact the reasons for visiting Ellicottville are as simple as ABC.

A, B        As in how easy it is for millions coming from ‘A’ where they live in New York State, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Southern Ontario, to get to ‘B’, Ellicottville. For most visitors it’s just 2-4 hours away with the last part of the journey an easy, scenic drive. And because there’s so much to do here, it truly is worth the drive. Even if A is a bit further away.

C          As in mark your Calendar, because Ellicottville has a full calendar of events which gets underway in June, goes into full swing during the 4th of July weekend (and Canada Day) and keeps humming along (especially with all of our music events) right through to fall. Here’s just a sampling of this year’s line-up:

F          As in Family, Friends and Fun.
