Nutty O' St. Nick, Woodland in the City 2007, 2008
Merry Christmas!

From the Woodland in the City locations website:

Artist: Nora O’Harra, Ischua, NY
Sponsor: Greater Olean Area Chamber of Commerce
Location: Greater Olean Area Chamber of Commerce, 120 North Union Street, Olean, NY

Details: Greater Olean Area Chamber of Commerce joined with many businesses and organizations to jump on the squirrel bandwagon. GOACC sponsored a squirrel that was unveiled in August 2008. The Chamber’s largest event is Santa Claus Lane which attracts and draws the most traffic into our communities. The squirrel’s colors and decorating theme were reflected in the artwork. The artist painted the Lincoln Park scene and the North Union Street scene during the holidays on the squirrel’s tail.
The Santa Claus Lane event committee suggested several names for the squirrel: Jingles; St. Nickel Nut; Squirrelly Claws; Jolly; but decided on Nutty O’ St. Nick.
