These 2 ladies are Cindy Capestrani (L) and Anna Fales (R).  If you ever attended a concert at the Bemus Bay Pops, you would have seen both of these women at the entrance to the lawn seating area.  Anna seemed to be everywhere as she was Executive Assistant to the Pops and was in charge of the box office.  She also did whatever was needed to get the job done.  "Anna was a very loyal, dedicated and trustworthy employee who loves her community", said Dan Dalpra.

Anna and her family live in the Jamestown area.  When the Pops relocated to Mayville last summer Anna continued to lend her expertise along with her husband Rick, son Tommy and daughter Katie.  If you were to ask Anna what she enjoyed most about working for the Dalpra family, I suppose it would be meeting the people and making their Pops experience the very best it could be.  Anna was always approachable with a smile and an answer to any question posed to her.  Thank you Anna.

Cindy again joined the Pops team in Mayville greeting 2019 ticket holders and those needing tickets when they entered the historic train depot.  After patrons walked through the building Pops volunteers would show them to their selected seats.  A variety of food trucks were available along with wine and beer from Mazza Winery.  "Jerzy Joyce" who owns and operates the Olde Corner Deli in Hartfield NY offered Italian meatballs, cheese platters, Buckeyes and other selections.  Dan's delicious Italian Fisherman Chips and soft drinks were also available.  Thank you Cindy.


"I enjoyed my summer months working for the Pops as it allowed me to meet with people visiting Chautauqua County from different cities and States.  I also enjoyed the great music and the wonderful volunteers who helped greet guests and answer questions.  I was able to get to know the Dalpra family who are very passionate about what the Pops can bring to our area."
