Guests can also enjoy a Breakfast Buffet and a Bloody Mary & Mimosa Bar, with TVs showing the weekend football lineup.
Proceeds from the event support the Lodge’s fundraising efforts, benefiting programs for veterans, youth, scholarships, and families in need. Sponsorship opportunities are available, and all donations are appreciated.
It’s a fun, festive way to kick off the holiday season while supporting meaningful causes in the Lake Oconee community.
