Campus Cuts barber shop is open in MCC Fulton snowman competition The new barber shop location is open on Wednesdays is underway Hayden Wentworth Contributing Writer news@oswegonian.com A new barber shop is open in SUNY Oswego’s Marano Campus Center. Master barber John Franko, the owner of Campus Cuts, is excited to have students come in, but he understands the hesitation they may have. “I know all about the whole trying out a barber thing, but I wanna put everybody’s mind at ease. I’ve been cutting hair for 17 years,” Franko said. Franko is hoping to grow

his shop to include walk-in appointments for women to get their hair done, but for now he is just offering men’s cuts. “For me? I only cut men’s hair on Wednesdays, it’s just gonna be kind of just the guy’s type of deal,” Franko said. “But other days of the week we can probably incorporate both, but for now, yeah, Wednesdays is going to be kind of like the barber shop deal.” Campus Cuts opened in the campus center this semester, and since then, Franko has been trying to spread the word about his shop to get students in. “Yeah, really the best way

to spread the word is to just get the good haircut and tell your friends,” Franko said. SUNY Oswego students are starting to discover Campus Cuts and what it offers. Oswego student Marquel Jeffries says that he knew he needed a haircut, but did not want to drive home just to get it. “Just having that same type of barber shop vibes, being able to have a good conversation and come out feeling more confident and better,” Jeffries said. “I think it was an excellent experience.” Campus Cuts will be open on Wednesday for walk-ins between 12 p.m. and 5 p.m.

The second annual snowman building contest has been announced by the city of Fulton Department of Parks and Recreation. All residents within the 13069 area are eligible and the contest is free to enter. Contestants can register online on the city’s website, www.fultonny.org, or on the parks and recreation Facebook page. They can also scan the QR code on the flier which will be distributed to students throughout the school district. Photo entries must be submitted by email to fultonparksandrec@cityoffulton.com no later than Feb. 23. Fulton’s Director of Parks and Recreation, Chris Waldron, said the decision to continue the snowman contest came from the success of the event last year. “We received such an outpouring of support from the Fulton community with our first snowman contest, we had

to make this an annual event,” Waldron said. “Last year, the snowman creations were nothing short of amazing, and we can’t wait to see what the contestants come up with this year.” Winners will be chosen in three categories: Fulton Pride, Biggest and Most Creative. Entries will be posted on Facebook on Feb. 24 to be voted on. Winners will be announced on Feb. 27. Fulton’s Mayor, Deana Michaels, explained the value of establishing light-hearted events throughout the city. “It’s important we continue to provide free family friendly events throughout the city such as this snowman contest,’’ Michaels said. “Chris Waldron and his special events committee are doing an excellent job of creating a calendar of events throughout the year. I look forward to seeing all the creative entries this year. It’s sure to be a fun time.”
