Seneca Lodge's Famous Annual Mustache Party
7:00 - 11:00 PM
Watkins Glen

Once a year… the mustaches come out of hiding for a party that kicks off the year! Celebrating the STASH since 1977.

Some are real.
Some are fake.
Some should probably never see daylight again.
But at Seneca Lodge… we celebrate them all.

Music by: Skadattle
Food by: Weenie Wagon
Cover: $5
50% OFF drinks with your STASH!

Yes… your mustache now officially saves you money.

SATURDAY

Adult Easter Egg Hunt
1:00 PM
ILL EAGLE, Elmira

You asked… so we’re bringing it back! Join us for an adults-only Easter Egg Hunt kicking off at 1PM with the official hunt beginning at approximately 1:10PM. (Yes, it will be fast. Yes, it will be competitive. Stretch first.)

Here’s how it works:
- 5 eggs max per person
- Eggs are color-coded
- 3 matching colors = a prize!
Expect surprise coupons, free items, and a few secret twists hidden throughout the building…

Important stuff:
• Hunt begins around 1:10PM sharp
• No hoarding — 5 eggs per person
• Prizes must be matching colors to redeem
• Redeem at the designated prize table

It’s chaotic. It’s competitive. It’s wildly fun. Gather your crew and may the odds be ever in your favor!

SUNDAY
