Chappaqua Station, a restaurant that is located inside the Chappaqua train station, will host an event for the local group Chappaqua Friends of Hillary for much of the day. The gathering is set to start at 10 a.m., with music from DJ Cath1 from noon to 3 p.m. and a visit from the Mike Risko Band from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. A pantsuit flash mob will perform, and there will also be activities for kids.

“In keeping with our desire to be a hub for the community we are happy to be a part of this Election Day celebration. We look forward to welcoming all of our friends and neighbors to the Station," said Chappaqua Station owner Erin Chase, in a statement released on behalf of local Clinton supporters.

Chappaqua Station is located at 1 Station Plaza.

Starting at 7 p.m., Crabtree's Kittle House will host an Election Night celebration, where folks can watch the returns come in.

Hillary Clinton made a video appearance from the restaurant when she made a cameo during the Democratic National Convention, the supporters note. Tickets for the election-night gathering, which number at 290, sold out over a two-day period, the group adds.

“The Kittle House has been like a second home to Bill and Hillary Clinton -- and many of their important and momentous occasions have been celebrated here since they first moved to Chappaqua,” owner John Crabtree said in an accompanying statement. “We are looking forward to a big night and a beautiful celebration for Hillary's most loyal supporters.”

Crabtree's Kittle House is located at 11 Kittle Road.

Folks are also invited to watch the returns and projections at Chappaqua Tavern on King Street.

If Clinton wins, then Chappaqua would hold the distinction of being home to two presidents, with her husband, former President Bill Clinton, being the other.

The Clintons have lived in Chappaqua since 1999.
