17th Annual Ernest Borgnine Night
Nonagenarian actor and American National Treasure Ernest Borgnine will be honored for the 17th consecutive year at Tortilla Flats Restaurant on Wednesday, the 18th of February 2009.
Attendees, donning Borgnine masks and “We Love Ernie” emblazoned sailor hats, celebrate the life and work of the legendary actor by answering Ernie trivia questions, playing Pin the Grin, (whereby blindfolded contestants try to stick cutouts of Mr. Borgnine’s trademark gap-toothed smile onto an oversized poster of his face), and competing in the Ernest Borgnine Look-Alike Contest.
