A myriad of attractions in the Jamestown region are once again pleased to host Doors Open Jamestown, Saturday, Jan. 28.

“As we did last year the Chamber of Commerce is running a Doors Open Jamestown text contest at all participating attractions, and at a number of local businesses that have chosen to participate. Look for text contest instructions at each venue and find more information online at www.jtny.events,” said Carrie Swanson, Jamestown Community Chamber coordinator.

Contest prizes include items donated by all the local participating attractions.

“Doors Open Jamestown is much more than a chamber event. Our Jamestown Community Chamber coordinates it, but once the day arrives this event belongs to the numerous attractions that open their doors for free to welcome visitors on this special day. I thank all of them and the many additional community partners and businesses who work with us to help make this event possible and successful,” said Daniel Heitzenrater, Chautauqua County Chamber president and CEO.
