The “Giant Howitzer" located on Sand Hill,
The Army Tank in town on display,
Along with other sights to see
On another “Pioneer Day”.

There will be much activity in Gowanda
Being the Center of Attraction-
With its Annual Pioneer Day Celebration
Bringing forth attention, excitement and action.

With plenty of activity on Main Street
Bringing back the day of old,
With numerous items to choose from
At bargain prices will be sold.

The hot dog couple on Main Street
Known by citizens very well,
For fantastic tasting hot dogs and sausage,
With pleasant smiles and aromatic cooking smell.

Surely a weekend of hustle and bustle,
To meet friends and neighbors along the way,
To celebrate another year of success in Gowanda
On a bright sun shining day in May.
