The Seneca Allegany Resort & Casino held their annual tree lighting event on Wednesday, December 1st. Everyone had a fun time celebrating the official start of the holiday season.

Later that week on Friday, December 3rd, Seneca Media & Communications Center had a jolly good time welcoming Santa and his friends to Jefferson Park for the annual Silver Bells Christmas Parade in downtown Salamanca. Lighting up the park with Santa were a few ladies from Ohi:yo’ Storm Girls Lacrosse!

We would like to wish you and your loved ones a safe & happy holiday season!
