The dispatchers did an outstanding job which allowed for a quicker rescue of these hikers from the woods.

Personnel were able to coordinate with 911, as well as staged personnel several miles away from where the individuals were located clearly.

The lost hikers were able to be guided out of the woods safely and to awaiting personnel with the aide of 911 dispatchers and personnel on the ground with no injuries at 2216hrs. All personel were clear of the incident at 2300hrs

Natalie Returns to Cameron County Farmers Market

Cameron County Farmers Market

Summer holidays are fast approaching and we are thrilled to hear that Natalie Zucal will once more be returning from her Environmental studies in Olean to spend the summer in Cameron County with us!

Natalie debuted her new business, Breakfast at Natalie’s, at last year’s market and it was a big success!

Natalie spotted the niche market opportunity of selling breakfast themed foods at our morning markets and she nailed it! Her first product was home-made yogurt made from raw milk which produces a super creamy, delicious addition to any healthy breakfast and market goers were impressed!

Being an entrepreneurial young lady she quickly expanded her offerings and came up with a selection of nutritious granolas to complement her yoghurt. She created a variety of scrumptious flavors including blueberry, peanut butter, vanilla cinnamon, chocolate hazelnut, chai walnut, and cranberry almond granolas. You will find both her yogurt and granolas at the market again this year!
