Mary Ellen Decker will be accepting the award on Sweeny\u2019s behalf.<\/p>\n<p>And while the event is free, there is a $5 fee for parking. But anyone parking their car at Bergman Park will receive a $5 raffle ticket for a chance to win a $100 Visa Gift card sponsored by Ahlstrom Schaeffer Electric. There will also be two chances to win a season ticket for the Jamestown Jammers.<\/p>\n<p>The day will culminate with a fireworks extravaganza by Zambelli Fireworks International, slated to light up the sky at 8:30 p.m.<\/p>\n<p>For local fitness enthusiasts,\u00a0 Chautauqua Striders will hold the annual Dan Feather Memorial 5k Run\/Walk at 9:30 a.m. with registration starting at 8 a.m.<\/p>\n<p>For more information on all events and attractions at the city\u2019s labor day festival, go online to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.Jamestownny.net\">Jamestownny.net<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MOBILE APP USERS: LISTEN HERE The final holiday weekend of the summer has arrived and there\u2019s plenty going on throughout Chautauqua County, including here in Jamestown.
