The dinner will be staged from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Saturday. The dinner includes a tossed salad, broccoli, garlic bread, penne pasta with either marinara or Alfredo sauce, with brownies, coffee or tea. The cost is $15, including tax and gratuity. Kids from 6-10 years old will get the buffet for 1/2 price and those under 5 are free.
Sunday's schedule includes:
+ Noon bonfire on the village green at noon;
+ 1 p.m. start of the 6K cross-country ski race followed by a 5K run.
- Register
+ 1 p.m. Hamilton Food Challenge; sample hot drinks, soups and chicken wings from places around the village and vote for the best.
+ 1 p.m. Family activities;
+ 3 p.m. Awards ceremony.
"We're getting registrations from all over the place," said Melichar, who also is VP for Communications and Public Relations at Colgate. "With plenty of folks from Hamilton and others coming from Syracuse, Frankfurt, Oriskany Falls, Clinton, etc.
"We're also getting a good blend of individual and relay registrations, so we should see all sorts of finish times.
"At the end of the day though, this is all about having some fun!"
