The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has again forced the cancellation of the annual Mayville Fourth of July parade. However, there will be fireworks, just as there was in 2020.
MAYVILLE The annual Fourth of July parade in Mayville has been canceled for the second year in a row.
During the Mayville Village Board meeting Tuesday, Mayor Ken Shearer announced the planning committee has determined they need to cancel the parade due to COVID-19 concerns. But even without the parade there will be fireworks, just as there was in 2020.
Shearer said the fireworks would be placed at the same location as last year near the boat launch at Lakeside Park. Parking and attendance will be limited, depending on what the state guidelines are at that point.
The village has been delivering safe, contaminant-free water to customers from a new well since late December. Author: Dave McKinley Updated: 7:30 PM EST February 11, 2021
BUFFALO, N.Y. Chautauqua County officials, working along side investigators from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, believe they ve identified the source of chemical contaminants that got into the village of Mayville s drinking water supply.
Levels of perfluorononanoic acid (PFNA) were discovered in three of the village’s water wells at levels high enough to advise residents there not to drink it in early December.
The advisory was lifted two weeks later when the village was able to bring a new well on-line to supply safe, contaminant-free drinking water to customers.

Several ice huts are pictured on Chautauqua Lake near Mayville Park around noon on Saturday. It is estimated that 100 huts were on the lake during peak time, a few dozen more than usual for this time of year.

MAYVILLE Colors dotted a frozen Chautauqua Lake over the weekend.
Those dots, about 100 strong sprawled over a wide area, were ice huts filled with those looking to get in some fishing and likely any chance to get outdoors during the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic that has forced people to stay apart for nearly a year.
Many of the huts could be seen off the shoreline near Lakeside Park in Mayville. Mayor Ken Shearer said he went down to the park to take photographs of the ice fishermen and colorful huts meant to help keep them warm.
