If you really don't want to cook on Easter and dread the inevitable chunk of time devoted to post-feast clean up, bring the family to our "Alice in Wonderland" themed Easter Brunch on Sunday, March 23rd at 11 am. The White Rabbit, also known as the Easter Bunny, and "Alice" herself will be milling about the decorated Tent Pavilion to invite the kids to partake in an Easter Egg Hunt, so remember to bring along those Easter baskets. And, mom and dad, feast your eyes on the menu below (and the best part is, you won't have to clean up):
