Running Wolfe Wine - Wyoming County’s First Winery Open for Business
Posted on November 27, 2007
Wolfe’s Wines & Brew House was first opened in June of 2004 at 235 Main Street in Arcade NY. They grew rapidly in the first year causing them to look for a larger location. Not moving far, owners Dave and Toni Wolfe purchased a building just two doors down at their current 249 Main St. Arcade location.
In November of 2007 they opened a new addition to the store, Running Wolfe Winery - Wyoming County’s first winery. Most of the year the store and winery are open Tuesday - Friday from 1 - 6 PM and Saturdays from 10 AM - 2 PM. However, during the busy wine and holiday season (October - December) they have extended Saturday hours from 10 AM - 4 PM and added Sunday from Noon - 3 PM. Dave and Toni encourage people to stop in for a tasting or to pick up a few bottles to take home.
Wolfe’s also carries a full-line of wine & beer making supplies, wine & beer making equipment, bulk wine juice, concentrate wine juice and beer kits for the home wine & beer maker. Whether you are an experienced wine or beer maker or new to the fast growing hobby of wine & beer making, Wolfe’s has everything you need and more. In addition to wine and beer making supplies, they also have a large selection of wine racks and lots of wine and beer related items along with soda pop and liquor kits. They also carry scented candles, Pasta Peddler’s gourmet pasta, pasta sauces by Consilvio’s, canned goods by Deb’s Delights, dip mixes by Herbal Delight’s, Watkins Products and eucalyptus oil for fast pain relief and other home remedies.
“We are very excited to be the first winery in the area and Wyoming County,” stated David Wolfe. “The wine industry is growing rapidly and we are hoping our winery will be the foundation of a new area wine trail. As many of you may know a wine trail is not just a seasonal attraction, as it would bring tourist to the area all year long.” Wolfe continued, “We are looking forward to meeting many new customers. Stop in and pick up your wine for the holiday’s.”
“I want to congratulate Dave and Toni who worked very hard and for a long time to secure their designation and approval as a winery,” said James Pierce Executive Director of the Wyoming County Chamber. “Their business located on Main Street in Arcade has been a welcome asset to the business community and has established itself as a place that draws much needed business to the downtown district. The addition of the winery to the business should enhance commerce even more.”

Posted on November 14, 2007
Another storefront on Main St. in Perry has been filled with Perry’s only Verizon cell phone store and Wyoming County Chamber officials were on hand to celebrate with a ribbon cutting ceremony.
Letchworth Wireless, located at 21 South Main St. in Perry, is the only Verizon store in town. Owner and longtime Perry resident Marc Pachuta open the Main St. location in mid-August and business has already been excellent. When asked about the decision to locate on Main Street, Marc responded, “We wanted the store to be in a location with the potential for foot traffic, plenty of parking, and high visibility. We were also excited to be part of the revitalization of downtown Perry.”
Letchworth Wireless offers all of the Verizon products including cell phones, accessories, BlueTooths, music kits and more. Everything in the store is computerized and cell phone plans and contracts can be processed directly at the store. Currently open 11:00am - 6:00pm Mon - Fri and 9:00am - 1:00pm on Saturdays. Marc announced that the store will be offering expanded holiday hours beginning November 12 with evening hours as well as all day on Saturdays and Sundays.
“As always, the Wyoming County Chamber is excited to see a new main street business and we’re sure Letchworth Wireless will make a great addition to the business climate of Main St. Perry,” stated James Pierce, Chamber Executive Director.

Bennington Lanes Ribbon Cutting Ceremony
Posted on September 25, 2007
The Lanes are Back in Bennington
After many years Bennington Lanes is back. Once again the Bennington community has a place to gather and enjoy an evening of dining and bowling. Under new ownership, major renovations have taken place over six months including completely installing new bowling lanes.
Owners Billie Jo Frost and her husband Bob put many long hours into the restoration of the building and the lanes but they also conveyed that they did not do this alone. According to Billie Jo, “There were so many people who helped bring this place back. And we feel the community has welcomed us with open arms. We also want to thank our family and kids for all their help.”
There are eight lanes with league bowling everyday except Sundays and opening bowling all day Sundays and everyday until 6:30pm and then after 9:30pm. Call 591-2314 to confirm an open lane.
There is also a full service restaurant and bar attached to the Lanes. The restaurant serves everything from pizza and subs to Friday night fish fry and has seating for up to 180 people. According to Billie Jo, since officially opening the restaurant about a year ago they have hosted numerous weddings, birthday parties and anniversaries.
Chamber Executive Director Jim Pierce stated, “The Chamber is delighted to see new life being pumped into a vacant building and provide recreational activities and food for the whole family.”
