We are incredibly proud to introduce another very special addition to The Olcott Beach Carousel Park — our one-of-a-kind Model A Memorial Playground piece.

This amazing custom play structure was funded through generous memorial donations made by the friends and family of Gary Cammarata, along with support from a Niagara County cultural grant.

Gary was a beloved friend of the park, a longtime Treasurer of The Olcott Beach Carousel Park, and a deeply valued member of the community. He dedicated countless hours to helping the park grow and thrive over the years. Gary also had a lifelong love for Model A Fords and proudly owned four of them throughout his life, making this tribute especially meaningful.

We are so grateful to everyone who helped make this project possible and helped create a lasting tribute that children and families will enjoy for generations to come.

Thank you as well to Linette Pipiles for capturing and sharing this wonderful photo of her family already enjoying Gary’s special memorial.

We are so excited to introduce the newest addition to The Olcott Beach Carousel Park — our beautiful Memorial Garden Kaleidoscope!

This incredible interactive art piece was handcrafted by the talented artist R.C. Anderson of Door County: https://rcandersondoorcounty.com/.

The Kaleidoscope was made possible through memorial donations given by families and friends wishing to honor the memories of their loved ones. Their generosity helped create something joyful, colorful, and lasting for children and families visiting the park to enjoy for many years to come.

We would also like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Pipiles Greenhouses for the beautiful flowers they donated throughout the park — including the gorgeous flowers featured inside the Kaleidoscope itself!

And special thanks to Linette Pipiles for sharing this wonderful photo of her family (Jack, Anna and Stevie), enjoying the new installation. Seeing children experience it for the first time is exactly what this project was meant to inspire.

Be sure to stop by, take a look through the Kaleidoscope, and see the world in a whole new way!

We’re excited to welcome Lina Pinkham to Bye’s! 🌭🍟

Many of you already know Lina from Mariner’s Landing, where she and her family have long been a beloved part of the Olcott community. We’re so fortunate to have her bringing that same warmth, care, and hometown spirit to Bye’s as well.

It means so much to see this longtime Olcott tradition continue with such genuine hometown heart behind it!

We know Bye’s holds a special place in so many hearts, and we’re incredibly thankful for everyone who continues to support the stand and the traditions that make it so meaningful. Lina has been working hard behind the scenes to help keep that spirit alive, and we hope you’ll give her a warm welcome when you stop by!

Thank you for continuing to make Bye’s such a special part of summer in Olcott. We can’t wait to see you at the stand! ❤️
