Get OFF the thruway and find out! 

     Whether it's wining and dining, Seneca bingo, golf, fishing, boating, picnicing, swimming or snowmobiling, you can find your favorite activity "happenin" in Hanover.  Just an easy drive to exit 58 of Interstate 90 (30 minutes southwest of Buffalo) will drop you off on NYS Routes 5 & 20 and leave you at the sandy shores of Lake Erie, next to Seneca Bingo, (also go-carting, batting cages, miniature golf and driving range) and the beginning of the Lake Erie Wine Trail.

     Come to SUNSET BAY and experience a boat load of beach parties and live entertainment!   The Village of Silver Creek is host to the annual Festival of Grapes the third weekend in September, a children's fair (June 14), summer concerts in the park (every Thursday evening in July & August), Laurel Run (8K certified run, 5K walk, on July 19), a village-wide yard sale the first weekend in August and the Polar Bear Swim the first weekend of January.  The Village of Forestville celebrates their 200th birthday this year with a Bi-centennial festival July 11, 12, & 13.   We are also home to one-of-a-kind businesses like Stagecoach West and Just Pets (Routes 5 & 20) who sponsor equestrian competitions and pet shows.   If you've got a sweet tooth then you've got to stop at Valvo's candies (Routes 5 & 20) or Petri's Baking Products (downtown Silver Creek), WOW -  the whole village smells like a chocolate chip cookie!
