Want to try curling?

The Finger Lakes Curling Club offers several Learn to Curl sessions each year—usually two in the fall and two in the winter, with occasional additional sessions in the winter and spring. Each Learn to Curl session lasts for two hours and consists of an off-ice introduction to the game, about 45 minutes of on-ice instruction, and then about an hour of putting those newly learned skills to work in a practice game.

The club provides the instructors and all the necessary equipment to curl.

Already signed up? Here’s what you need to know:

Bring soft-soled sneakers to wear on the ice. We’ll provide grippers to go over the sole of your shoe.

We recommend dressing in layers for warmth, loose-fitting pants rather than jeans, and hats and gloves.

Bring a water bottle.

The cost is $35 per person (ages 18+).

MR. MARMALADE

Noah Haidle’s "Mr. Marmalade" is a darkly comic and wildly imaginative play that explores the grown-up world through the eyes of a four-year-old girl named Lucy. Her imaginary friend, Mr. Marmalade, is anything but innocent; complete with an abusive streak, a cocaine habit, and a very busy schedule. Blending satire with surrealism, this bold and twisted tale offers a sharp look at childhood, loneliness, and the things we learn too soon.

PICNIC
By William Inge | Directed by Ralph Zito | Feb 20 - Mar 1 | Opening Night: Feb 21

An elegant drama from an American master.

“I've always had the feeling, if I just had the chance, I could set the whole world on fire.” As a small Kansas town prepares for the annual Labor Day picnic, handsome young drifter Hal stirs up long dormant feelings amongst a group of repressed women, including Madge, a beauty queen who yearns for another life whenever she hears the train whistle blow. Disappointments, resentments, and rivalries simmer with the late summer swelter in William Inge’s Pulitzer Prize-winning classic about the power of attraction and the perils of unfulfilled desire.

Special Exhibit
February 4 - March 6

This year, the Victorian Lady antique shop in Oneida is on a mission to collect and distribute warm winter coats and accessories to help neighbors facing hardship during these difficult times.

“If you would like to help make someone's winter a little warmer, we would be most grateful!” says Ms. Gerri Gray, the shop’s proprietor. “We are holding the coat drive throughout the fall and winter.” She added, “We also plan to host a few food giveaways, so if anyone wishes to donate any canned food (including pet food) and/or other non-perishable items, they can bring them to the shop during our regular business hours or simply leave them on our front porch.”

Donations of new and gently-used coats, scarves, and gloves are being accepted every Monday and Saturday from noon until 5 p.m. and on all other days by appointment only. The shop, which was featured on Lite 98.7, is located at 302 Main Street, Oneida, NY (at the corner of Stone).
