KISMET HEADS UP! - Hi Everyone, for those visiting Kismet this weekend, here is something that may tickle a fancy :).

The Kismet "Treasure Hunt" goes live sunrise tomorrow morning.

Objective: Find the hidden Bootleggers Cork #1 in the video and win a "daycation" for 2 along Bootleggers Trail, Long Island. If you are the individual that finds Cork #1, just follow the instructions written on it, and take a photo of yourself holding the cork. Send us the photo via Private Message. We'll be in touch with the Winner to schedule your Bootleggers Getaway "Daycation". Good luck and happy hunting!

HERE'S THE RIDDLE AND CLUES (Must be 21 or older to claim the prize)....

In Kismet's embrace, where legends intertwine,
A riddle unveils a treasure, a bourbon cork divine.
From times of rumrunners, when secrets were concealed,
Now, a quest begins, a mystery to be revealed.

Beyond the ship line's ghost, where memories drift ashore,
A gate stands tall, a portal to comfort's lore.
Rest your soul within this "bootleggers lair,"
Where hospitality abounds, a haven beyond compare.

On the sandy beach, by the bay's gentle sway,
The Gate awaits seekers, where footsteps make their way.
Near the arrival ferry, its presence unobscured,
A whispered tale emerges, a riddle to be explored.

Follow Bootleggers Trail, where history whispers low,
Hidden treasures and secrets, only keen eyes will know.
Within this sandy landscape, a message waits unseen,
A bourbon cork's prize, a symbol to intervene.

Embark upon this trail, where bourbon's spirit hides,
Solve the riddle's challenge, where cunningness abides.
For adults of wit and curiosity untamed,
Unravel the mystery, a medium-length riddle claimed.

At journey's end, a "Bootleggers Getaway" awaits,
A daycation of bliss, where life's burdens dissipate.
So heed the clues, intrepid seeker, don't delay,
Discover Kismet's secret, where treasures proudly stay.

And when the puzzle's solved, the journey nears its end,
In your grasp, find cork #1, a prize you will defend.
A token of triumph, inscribed upon its core,
The first treasure unveiled, a triumph to adore.....

Have a great weekend. Cheers!
PS - Shout out to "Bootsie Magou Straight Bourbon Whiskey" for sponsoring the "Daycation" getaway..thank you!
