05/29/2026

Special event permit has been turned in to the City of Jamestown! 🔥

Now that that’s out of the way, we are ready to start working on sponsors, registration, and general “tell everyone you know to come down to Jamestown on Friday, August 14th, 2026” stuff! 💯

The website is not quite ready to start accepting those things, but make sure https://cruiseinjtny.com is added to your bookmarks/favorites! ⭐️

We can’t wait to get this thing rolling, and hopefully, we’ll have some new, fun additions to the show this year! 😁🙏

Join us for classic cars and family fun in Jamestown!

⛓ Your New Jewelry Stop! ⛓

CreaturesCrypt () is a one-of-a-kind handcrafted jewelry shop run by a solo maker with a dark, creative flair. Every single piece is entirely handmade — no two are exactly alike. 🤩

From intricate chainmail necklaces and barbed wire designs to bat earrings and spine-inspired pieces, if you love bold, alternative jewelry, this is your new favorite artist. Custom orders are welcome too, just slide into their crypt and ask! 💍

I discovered CreaturesCrypt at the WRFA Vintage & Art Fair. Follow them on social media to see where they will be set up next, and check out their Etsy shop. Links are found on their new My CHQ Local Business Directory Listing!

🍗🔥 Hot Wing Challenge! 🔥🍗

Pictured here is The New Wing King, Tyler Beaton! He demolished the hot wing challenge at The Sherman Hotel in 2 minutes and 48 seconds! But guess who's up next?! 😎

We are on the cusp of hitting 5,000 FOLLOWERS here on the My CHQ page, which is absolutely ridiculous! To "celebrate," I will take on the challenge myself! I don't know what day yet, but I'll be sure to let you know! 🥵

Thank you all for your endless support and simply just following along in our journey to encourage Chautauqua County to get out there and enjoy our local events, amazing businesses, and bring positive energy to our home! 🥰

I... I am not looking forward to this... 🤣

I’m not one for the parades on Memorial Day, but I absolutely encourage anyone else to attend them. I like the quiet walks and remembrance at memorial sites. The most impactful walk I’ve ever taken was at the Vietnam War Memorial in Rochester. That’s a walk I’ll never forget.

It is a somber day as we look back at all of the lives lost due to war. It’s an ugly thing, war. We remember those who died in war from centuries ago, all the way to about a month ago as 13 more service members have been killed in today’s war.

We pray for a peaceful rest, and pray for an end to war so we don’t have to keep adding to the list of names filling these memorial sites. ❤️🙏
